Of course, it would happen the moment I bought a copy at twice the price thinking I'd got a bargain, but HMV (.co.uk) have the Decca SACD set of Puccini's La Boheme on sale as an "enhanced" CD for £9.99 the two disc set, - that's about $16.50 US, about the same in Euros and about $Australian 25. Its not DSD by the way, but PCM recorded and basically presented as a 44.1 khz 16 bit cd, but in ("SACD") surround. My copy says "SACD" but to be honest, that's probably false advertising. Anyway, for those of you who fancy a bargain "Boheme", with probably the best cast it'll ever have in Alagna and Georghiou, its there.
