Best net retailer for US CDs?

Hello

I was wondering if anyone could recommend an internet retailer for CDs from the US. I'm looking for some albums that aren't available in the UK. Amazon is my only hope at the moment - but I was wondering if anyone knew of a cheaper alternative?

Thanks in advance.

Muz.

Yep, ditto on djangos & cdpacific - I've had nothing but excellent service from both!

www.cduniverse.com have an excellent selection, but tend to be slightly dearer than the above 2

Yeah, CD Universe sometimes looks to have a good offer, until you get to add on the shipping.
