For most of us finding and buying the Eurovision CD in a local recordstore is easy enough but not in Italy. The country may be back in contest and RAI is doing an effort but the record distributors are not warming up it seems. Fans are reporting all over Italy the shops are not having the CD and when asked - if someone actually makes an effort to investigate the matter - the result is "fuori catalogo", or "out of print". That concerns all the main chains (FNAC, Ricordi/Feltrinelli, Mondadori/Messaggerie Musicali). EMI, the distributor os the CD is not doing any effort to distribute it, and at the moment the only way is to order it online in Italy is frpm Discoteca Laziale. (Which used to be MY recordstore in Rome the good old days when I lived in a walking distance from it and indeed that shop does have a great selection, helpful staff and in short: the best record store in Rome!)
