Found Tesco was £17.45, not £14+ as stated. Left it and went to Asda. It was £14.00 there. Who regulates these sites? Dont believe all you read :mad:

Liveherenow.com - maybe live but not here yet.
I ordered a CD from liveherenow.com coming up to three months ago. It looks a great idea, they sell authorized recordings of music gigs. Well, I say 'they sell' what it seems is they take money saying they will provide live recordings, then fail to do so. I have contacted them about five times now regards this order and…
