Another source of budget classical recordings is the Musical Heritage
Society.  This is a sort of not-for-profit record club which reissues
foreign recordings as well as some of its own.  The current price for
a single disk is $4.95 (digital recordings available also).  They also
sell cassettes, but the selection is nowhere as good.

My experience with MHS has been fairly good.  They have been VERY cooperative
when I've returned things I didn't like.  For those of you who seek the
strangenesses of life :-> the "reviews" of new releases by one David Greene
which you recieve every few weeks are RATHER odd.  One I saw a few months
ago was almost entirely written in limericks! <-: 

For those of you who like early music, they have an extensive collection of
prebaroque, as well as some real oddities (anybody for a record of 
hurdy-gurdy music (no :-)) ?).

The best way to join/find out more?  Look for the inevitable ad in the back
of Scientific American, Smithsonian, or numerous other magazines.  (The $1
record changes all the time if you don't like what the current add offers.)
