It's not so different in the UK or the States now. Most of the record shops I used to spend my time in have closed. Probably save me a fortune in the long run but Imiss them.

To be honest, you're better off ordering it online anyway! There are very few specialty stores in Budapest, and as I found out two years ago, some of them _close for the summer_. (I wanted to buy a few folk music CDs I'd been putting off buying, before I left for Norway... alas.... *rolleyes*)

Though then again, some of the online stores don't have an Engish-language storefront. I mean not even the big ones *headdesk* I think I ranted about this here on 8tracks before :O

Just back from Budapest, where I was hoping to chase some of this music up - alas, I was too busy to even see much of Budapest. Maybe next time.

Wow what's it with this mix that it produces replies at *this* rate? LOL!

@whatistigerbalm -
I've been thinking of making a similar mix with "Gergelem", a Moldavian Hungarian folk song. Folk songs are good for this purpose because the popular ones get covered by pretty much all major bands.
Though here is a great mix with 12 versions of Strange Fruit and that's very much not a folk song.

* web-based, even

Hot damn, what a great idea for a mix! (And the song!) We used to collect various renditions of songs in TEUNC (a we-based group that Tamf and I are in) but I wonder if I have as many as ten of anything...
