INtroduction and Question re: out of print CDs

Hello everyone,
I've been a reader for a while and decided to finally join up since I'm spending some time at home recovering from a car accident. So I decided to ask a question.

Since I have all this extra time I've decided to start building a small collection of CDs I've always wanted. Would anyone know where I could find the rarer cast recordings of the Rocky Horror Show? Like the older foreign cast recordings. I already got 7 of them used off of Amazon for some great prices.

Also, I'm looking to get all the Decca re-releases of the ALW musicals for less than list price if I can. Some of them are super expensive. I dont mind used copies if they are in ok condition. The hardest to find is the OCR (with LuPone) of Sunset, but not the thick double CD, the slimline one in the cardboard sleeve.

Thanks for making this place the place to be where the people with the most knowledge of these things gather.

Joey

Thanks Rebecca,

I've been led to believe that the Decca re-issues in the slimline cases and cardboard sleeves are re-mastered recordings. If anyone knows anything to the contrary, please let me know. Thanks for the lead on the amazon sites.

Another good way to fill gaps in your collection is to check E-Bay regularly. Many in-print items get listed with starting bids of like $1. Out-of-print items sometimes go for a lot more but as long as you make a pact with yourself not to go over a certain amount for a specific title you won't get caught up in any last minute bidding wars.
