In association with Amazon Inc, here are a few Eurovision Related items you may like to order. |
I've been looking on the amazon.com web site and found a few Eurovision CDs to recommend. OK, no singles for this year, but some years they've done some (take a look for Anna-Maria Jopek, listed as 'out of stock'), and amazon is a good place to get those foreign CDs we crave so much.
Amazon is based in the United States, but International ordering with your Credit Card is easy, and safe.
I have ordered numerous CDs and books from Amazon, and even with the postage (I use the World Mail option - takes about 10 days to the UK) a CD will still cost less than it would cost in Britain - if you could get it.
Anyway here's some current offerings (prices are subject to change, conversions are approximate):

Secret Garden won the Eurovision Song Contest for Norway in 1995 with the almost wordless "Nocturne", and have since gone onto recording three albums, of which only the first, "Songs from a Secret Garden" has been released in Great Britain. This first album includes 'Nocturne', and it, and the subsequent albums are wonderfully relaxing example of New Age music. The latest album, "Dawn of a new century", brings more vocals into the mix ("White stones" is entirely instrumental) including that of Karen Matheson, who was part of the French Eurovision Song Contest Entry in 1996. About $12 each at Amazon - with WorldMail to Europe about $18 - about £12 |

Gina G won the 1996 United Kingdom National Final of the Eurovision Song Contest with "Just a littler bit", and many feel it got a lower plaving that it should have when it appeared in the 1996 Eurovision Song Contest in Oslo. Legal battles have kept Gina off the scene for a while now, but here's her album from late 1996. $13.99 at Amazon - with WorldMail to Europe $19 - about £13 |

Lara Fabian represented Luxembourg in the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest - the contest won by Celine Dion. Lara seems to have always been in Celine's shadow - she moved to French-speaking Canada before returning to Europe a few years ago - but with Celine taking a break, here's Lara's first English-language album. Released in Spring 2000, and although there are traces of Celine and even Cher in there, the CD is still all Lara Fabian. $13.99 at Amazon - with WorldMail to Europe $19 - about £13 |

One of this year's artists, Lydia represented Spain in the 1999 Eurovision Song Contest in Jerusalem with "No Quiero Escuchar". That track isn't on this 1998 album, which is her second - the first album from 1996 is entitled 'Lydia', and can be found on Amazon at this link. She will most probably issue another album after Eurovision with the Spanish entry on it, but here's a chance to hear her earlier work The 1998 album pictured here is $11.49 at Amazon, the 1996 album $12.57, so with WorldMail to Europe, ordered separately they would be about $18 each, about £12. Together, about $31 (about £21) |
