Dear All,<div><br></div><div>The only reason I know about mailing stuff to Sweden is because I have a friend who lives there - in a desolate northern region. She is hiding out from unpleasantness in the US. When I send little gifts to her, the post office has to check out each item. The postman told me that CD's are watched careful because of piracy of intellectual "products". </div>

Hello Pat and the rest,<br>
<br>
I'm not really sure what "certain material coming out of Sweden"
would be. The only truly Swedish connection with Gould is the
BIS-double released in 1986 (Sony wasn't pleased with that release
-- you can still buy it-- but could not stop it ) and the newly
released Bach D minor also recorded in 1958 in Stockholm and now
available on Music&Arts.<br>
<br>
Apart from that there's nothing specifically Swedish in the Gould
discography, released or not. At least nothing that I know about.<br>
<br>
As far as I can tell the new copyright rules in EU makes it possible
for anything recorded prior to 1961 or 1962 to be released on other
labels. Recordings made after that date are now "protected" at least
an additional 20 years. As far as unreleased material go, the
problem is also that there in many cases exist no external source.
Everthing is locked up in the archives. <br>
<br>
In all fairness, I think that Sony has shown a good sense releasing
the majority of Gould's filmed performances. Let's hope they keep
that up. Also, most (all?) of the GG edition CDs are still available
at a much lower price than for example I paid for them. It's
actually become much less expensive to be a record collector these
last years <br>
<br>

Jorgen <br>

<div><font face="'Lucida Grande'" size="5">Well, so do I, but a girl I know refers to her CD
collection as "her children" which she refuses to part from,
even if they only contain one or two good songs. I am a bit
like her, unfortunately or fortunately her CDs are not mine.
Or so is she.</font></div>
<div><font face="'Lucida Grande'" size="5"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="'Lucida Grande'" size="5">Anita, if you want to get "rid" of your collection or
parts thereof I suggest you try <a href="http://www.gemm.com/" target="_blank">www.gemm.com</a>. Unlike other
rather profane auction platforms like ebay or some such this
is THE place for the record collector (or seller), because the
people there know what they are looking for and will cough up
to demand and see the value of a certain item.Apparently they
also have some GG memorabilia (books, promo posters etc) but I
would have to look that up.</font></div>
<div><font face="'Lucida Grande'" size="5"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="'Lucida Grande'" size="5">No matter if you want to buy or sell anything and
everything from rare New Zealand punk singles to classical
out-of -print Vinyl this is the place to go I reckon.</font></div>
<div><font face="'Lucida Grande'" size="5"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="'Lucida Grande'" size="5">I don't know if Berkley Music Outlet is still in
business but there are plenty of other sites and sources that
can be recommenced if the space in your CD shelf is getting to
small. Via BMO I was able to find some rare GG stuff when I
got started. And there is also one great shop in Japan, need
to check archive.</font></div>
<div><font face="'Lucida Grande'" size="5"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="'Lucida Grande'" size="5">Yes, there were a few contrabands around but our
friends at Sony put an end to certain material coming out of
Sweden, yet they are aware that a vibrant bootleg underground
community is around. Yet Contraband and Bootleg is not the
same thing. Let us hope annus mirabilis will see some releases
from the alternate ice-box !!!</font></div>
<div><font face="'Lucida Grande'" size="5"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="'Lucida Grande'" size="5">Hey, why don't we put tougher a list of decent
sources where one could buy or sell GG records, memorabilia or
summet like that for the fun or it or the ardent beginner and
the obsessed collectors ? This list needs some activity
anyway, otherwise I will start a thread about the GBs. I came
up with an interesting question.....</font></div>

<div>Pat, I asked friends who seem to know about mailing
CD's, and it seems to be a tricky business since all of
them are suspected as contraband. It's a shame since I
have way too many and would share. </div>
