This truly will be like hearing the QUO VADIS score as it has never before been heard.
Thank you again, James (and Nic and Frank)
And let's not forget Luc de Ven from Prometheus Belgium who has make it all possible !
Yes, you're correct.
Thank you, James, Nic, Frank ... and Luc.

If you'd sell this via lossless downloads (like more and more companies do), there'd be a lot less packing necessary.

I don't know how many people want downloads but I certainly don't.
And neither do I.

The swiftly growing number of downloads (with more lossless offers available than before) seems to indicate that a whole lot of people want or accept it. The days of the CD are numbered. I'd never buy a lossy download from Amazon or iTunes though.
Personally, if I can buy a download with the booklet as a PDF and the cover art, I'd prefer it because I could use it right away instead of waiting for a shipment from God-knows-where. These days I play all my music via HDD rips anyway, so a FLAC or WMA download would actually eliminate the ripping step, too.
Internet shops like Classical Shop (the Chandos outlet, who also carry many other labels now) offer swift and easy downloads - what's not to like? You can burn a CD-R as a backup, too.

Ahh, always the easy answer. ... 
The only - and really - the only reason why a company would not allow downloads as an alternative (not as a replacement) to selling CDs only these days is the somewhat childish concept that downloads in some way facilitate file sharing. Well, reality check: your items will become available within days anyway, regardless of the format you sell them in. Those are the realities of life.
OTOH, offering lossless downloads also could actually result in more units being SOLD more quickly, and of course without hassle - before the inevitable(!) tide of internet shares rolls in!

Bollocks...an even easier answer 
Well what Mr Van De Ven chooses to with the releases that he spends his own personal savings on his his own affair...and he doesn't like doing downloads. That is affair and you really should respect that?
I of course, being the worst sort of capitalist, who only does the Tadlow recordings, not for the love of the music, but to screw as much money out of the soundtrack fans as well as the general public as possible ,do offer my recordings for downloads. I am not proud....I'll take anyone's dosh!

Respecting one's opinion doesn't mean it can't be questioned.
As I said, rational thinking suggests that offering downloads as an alternative makes more people come forward who want the album, and are willing to pay for it, but are reluctant to order a disc and get it after two weeks or so - if they're lucky. The basic mistake record companies made in the early days of broadband was NOT to offer a download for a reasonable price - torrent shares and downloads were the result.

I for one prefer cds myself, but aside from this we should be grateful to Tadlow and Prometheus for making Quo Vadis possible. It hasn't arrived and the complaints begin. Again thanks John, Frank, and Luc for making this album.
