And they have the rights to alot of good music. The problem is buying it from them. A few years ago, when I first contacted them, they said they were not yet set up to accept credit cards. I contacted them a year or so later, same story, but they would accept a bank check. I was too hesitant at that point to do that. Early this past February I contacted them and I got a reply asking that I contact them in about a month, as they would be set up to accept credit cards then. So I contacted them at the end of February, no response. I made a heart-felt appeal about a week later, saying how much I love Carlos Guastavino's music and they're the only source, etc etc, no response.

Either they do business different down there, or they're in complete disarray.

They're in complete disarray....
