Good site for hard to find classical used and new

Thought I'd pass on a good site to find out of print and used classical cd's at a great price. As well they can get new cd's only avaliable in the UK. Hancocks and Monk. If you know of any others please let me know, besides Bershire.

I was looking all over for a mono recording recommended in Stereophool and couldn't find it anywhere, but eventually found it hear. It is a wonderful recording of Bethoven's Violin Concerto played by Leonid Kogan on Testament. FANTASTIC performance of that piece!! Wonderful recording...and it's MONO!! Really special. They have a bunch of odd labels (to me) available. My order arrived within 10 days. No fuss, no hidden charges (nothing more than Amazon would add anyway). Worth looking into!

Many thanks Gileon!!! I've really been enjoying the Testament/Bethoven, so I will definitley seek out the Tchaikovsky. I've also been enjoying the EMI Vengerov recording of the Ysaye sonata's since seeing him perform here in Seattle. I heard it was written up in one of the hi-end rags recently. I'd highly recommend that one to you as well...a remarkable performance and recording. If you ever get the chance to see him perform live, don't miss it! Thanks for taking the time to post with your advice.
