[This line for the message munchers]

I just received in the mail a flyer from an outfit called Andre Perrault
International.  They are a mail order classical record supplier.  This
flyer advertises what looks like the entire Denon and Orfeo CD catalog
at $9.99 apiece (plus $1.95 for the first CD, $.85 thereafter for postage
and such)!  This is the lowest price I have seen anywhere for classical CDs.

Has anyone on the net dealt with these people before?  They work by getting
your order before one of two deadlines, batching them together and sending
a big order to the manufacturer, and then sending you your records about
6 or 8 weeks (so they say) after the deadline.  If you miss the second 
deadline, all bets are off.  The deadlines on this flyer are 
9 September and 7 October 1985.

They say they'll take plastic, and are at P.O. Box 5629, Virginia Beach, 
VA  23455, 800 833 2400 outside of Virginia.

This looks like a cheap way of getting the almost complete Denon Beethoven 
quartet cycle that has been discussed in this group lately.

Don't flame at me if these people are turkeys; I've never ordered anything
from them and have no affiliation with them.  I'm just relaying what 
is in their brochure.  I plan on getting several CDs from them.
