Ah, Mr. Jeff has yet to see the prices from Mr Hausen direct. :) Single CDs go for $40 or so, though they are supposedly lavished with pages upon pages of liner notes. Nice packaging, but too much for the common man to afford unfortunately. The Hymnen he recommends goes for over $100. :( Ah, the one Stockhausen CD I got in a trade is most excellent, but I fear I shall never hear another.... Unfortunately, Mr Stockie has also made it a point to allow no one else to re-issue his work. So those extreme prices are what you will pay if you want some. (Though there is a recent-ish reworking of _Kontakte_ that has been mentioned, but that is a reworking and not the original.) Now...Did Stock, Hausen & Walkman name themselves after Stockhuasen or after Stock, Aitken & Waterman??? --- Peace Hugs and Unity Jason J. Tar W. W. J. D?
