Well, it ain’t pretty, but 29 clams tends to be the usual for new releases at Flamenco Connection (non-new stuff tends to fall in the 18-23 dollar range), and that, compared to she shipping rates from esflamenco and flamenco-world and such, not to mention the wait involved as your CD slowly makes its way across the Atlantic, still makes F. Conn. the best choice, generally. I dunno, Amigo’s a big enough name that you might be able to track the new one down via Amazon or some other, cheaper source….. I always wait to make large orders when I get my stuff from F. Conn. so I can consolidate on the shipping, which helps takes the sting out of the overall high prices of import CDs.

I’ve heard others mention having reservations about ordering from Flamenco Connection on account of their less than stellar website. It’s understandable, and their site is pretty crude, but I want to encourage anyone out there with similar misgivings to not let that dissuade them from buying from FC. They are, as Patrick mentioned, good, reliable folks, and a totally legit operation, late-20th century website, notwithstanding. I’ve made numerous orders with them via their site over the past few years and have never had any problems, but they’ve also got a toll-free number by which you can order over the phone if anyone’s squeamish about on-line security. One thing I do recommend when ordering from them is to always send them an email, or call them, to check and see if what you want is in stock. The world of flamenco distribution is seems to be a bit flaky, and things go in and out of print, or in and out of stock all the time, so it’s best to check first.
