Re: online vendors for European albums

[Joel Bresler <jbresler...>]

Hi, Ari.

I have not yet found a good pan-European source for Jewish recordings. You
really have to go country by country. Also, online in Europe for the
smaller vendors means that they have email, but not a web site yet.

Having said that, feel free to try the following sources (which specialize
in Jewish music, unless otherwise noted):

FRANCE

Diasporama,     Contact: Chantal        20, Rue des Rosiers             75004 
Paris     FRANCE

Bibliophane, Contacts: Brigitte, Carine or Nona 26, Rue des Rosiers             
75004
Paris   FRANCE

Also, FNAC has a web site, which I haven't been able to try yet since it's
inexplicably always down!!! www.fnac.fr This will be for all types of
music. Warning: disks in France are crazy expensive...
