Buying Australian or British Imports

Where do you guys buy your Aussie or British imports? The album I am looking for is 'Lamb: What Sound.' For whatever reason they decided not to realease it in the states unlike their previous albums. I went to B&N and CDNOW and they both had it but it was $27 and $25 respectivly.

A lot of times it's cheaper to get them straight from the country where it's released. Try amazon.uk for the British stuff.

The stuff I buy from Australia is DVD's, not CD's so I can't give you a specific place to go check. But you might want to just try eBay. I quite often run across Australians selling Aussie only releases on eBay, you might find it there.

CD Universe has it for $20.99.

I have ordered from England and Germany. I just searched from Google until I found what I wanted at a decent total price.

Ya know sometimes even the simplest things make too much sense.

In my experience, www.play.com has a good selection of both music and movie discs. I find their prices typically competitive.

Play is located in Jersey. Most of their R2 stuff is UK, they also have a seperate R1 section.

I am not sure if they ship outside Europe but you can give it a try.

Its sad when you go to ask a question (I needed to know where to get a British Import) and realize that you were the one who already asked it. Granted this was over two years ago but still...

Amazon.co.uk... I was ready to check out but I thought I should check here first to see if there was a better place. We shall see how bad the exchange rate kills me though.

You should do reasonably well as far as exchange rates go. For instance, if you buy something for $10 Australian, it currently works out to be anywhere between 70-75c US, depending on the daily rate (which has remained steady for quite awhile). Another option is to get another AC member to buy them for you locally, and trade for product they might want from the USA but can't afford to import. That way, you both pay local prices, and get the imports you wanted without the hefty price tag.
