| I wouldn't call this an RBCD recording, with or without the gasp. Linn pioneered the £18 per album, 24 bit 96kHz download and now sell 24 bit 192kHz at the same price where possible.

| Regarding HMV Oxford Street, I spent many happy hours there in the 1990s and early 2000s, but their stock / stocking policy seems to have deteriorated in the last few years and I've only bought new releases or LSO Live hybrid SACDs on special offer.
