New Releases - New for this month

Here’s the first and best place on the web to find the latest releases from the world’s finest labels. The minute the CDs leave the pressing plants in Europe they are rushed to airports and loaded onto our private fleet of jumbo jets to be flown directly to Peterborough municipal airport where our staff are waiting to offload them into vans driven by ex-formula one drivers. Then it’s off to our warehouse to be unpacked and prepared for shipment to you! Well okay, we’re exaggerating just a bit, but we do have weekly shipments flown in from London, Paris, and Amsterdam!
