Well, it makes a change for our post service to get top prize Marian. Some items I have ordered recently have taken forever to arrive, saying that items I order direct from Amazon are usually pretty fast. :)

No, I haven't listened yet Marian, but I have unsealed it and read the sleeve notes. Very nicely presented as well. :D

HMV are based in Guernsey so they all have to come through customs. :)

Mine arrived yesterday-like Marian, very impressed with packaging---lovely photo on front--nice to have copy of original LP cover inside--plus the evocative back cover of that old 45"---and all at a bargain price.

We listened to the Hoagy Carmichael sessions this morning....Matt Monro, Johnnie Spence, Hoagy Carmichael, what more is there to say, the dream team....... = perfection!
Not forgetting Richard as the one who brought it all together and made the whole thing perfect. :D

My CD came in a grey thin plastic wrapper..................but I prefer the cardboard boxes, which offer better protection :wink:
