COLLECTOR's CORNER
Collector's Corner aims to become the Internet's central resource for the trade and discussion of live concert and opera performances not otherwise commercially available on disc. It is for collectors who wish to swap (no selling is permitted) with other collectors rare, historic and
contemporary performances.
It functions in the same way as any standard bulletin board. Readers simply post lists of recordings they wish to swap and wait. The board will remain unmoderated.
