[Jandek] buying Jandek CDs in UK

[ANDRU REEVE]

I agree w/ Simon.  Jandek is really good at getting the CDs out quickly.  And if you buy directly from Corwood, why not go whole-hog and get 20 CDs at once?  You'll save 50%.  The international shipping is negligible; Jandek has to be losing money on the shipping.
