Alternate Sources for Chris Norman CD's?

Irish Flute

Any suggestions on where, besides boxwood.org, I can order some Chris Norman CD’s? I went to the Boxwood site today and found some things that disturbed me.

  1. The site’s SSL certificate expired two years ago. In the Pantheon of security sins this is a pretty minor player but it wasn’t a good start.

  2. They wanted my date of birth before I could complete an order. This is not information I really care to give out in order to make a purchase, particularly to a site that does not seem well administered.

  3. When I tried to send an email to ask if there was an alternative to item #2, the “Contact Us” link was broken.

I don’t want to sound crotchety and cranky but I found the aforementioned, plus the bad design and poor performance of the site pretty off-putting. If a bunch of you have bought from the site without problems I’d appreciate hearing about it. If anyone knows a good alternate source for the recordings I’d appreciate hearing about that as well. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

I have bought a CD from the site with no problems. You should let Chris know your concerns by emailing him at boxwoodfestival@mac.com

i never do

I too have bought CDs and Boxwood attendance from the site, but that was three years ago. I had no problems.

i’ve got Chris’ first ‘cassette’ from waaaaay back…and he was a great player even then.

Yes, the first two Norman/Kolodner cassettes are fantastic. I scored them when they were long out of print at a Helicon solstice concert a few years ago. One may have been literally the last new copy available.

I’ve also ordered, fairly recently, from Boxwood without incident. Definitely didn’t give my date of birth.
