You won't find RoIOs at the same place where you buy regular albums. You have to search for them (some claim that this is half the fun ...). Here are some tips how you could find them.

General advise: Now that copying a CD to CDR is easy for everyone you might be especially careful what you get. Some idiots claim to sell you a CD RoIO and send you a CDR copy with a lousy or missing cover copy. On the other hand, if you can get a CDR cheap and print out a high resolution cover scan that you can find here in the DB you can get a real nice piece without paying too much. But be warned that still not everyone is able to make perfect CDR copies (it's not as easy as copying a tape).

Local Sources

• Search for small shops or places where used records are sold. Ask for "live" recordings or "imports".
• CD & LP record fairs. Fan conventions are also a good source.

Mail-Order Sources

• Buy RoIOs over the internet. Have a look at the Sellers on Web for some links.
• Directly from the manufacturer. Since most RoIO dealers closed their doors nowadays, you won't have much luck that way.

Trading

• Buy privately from someone who sells his collection. Trade tapes or CDRs. That is cheap and quality won't suffer much. You can find people willing to trade on the Private Traders page.

Auctions

• A new method of selling and buying interesting things on the internet are electronic auctions, e.g. ebay. There are surprisingly many PF RoIOs listed here for sale.

Tape Trees

• A tape tree is a method of distributing a record among many fans easily. For more information, visit The Tape Tree Pages.

The Digital Floyd Project

• As you may have already heard, TimV ended this project. So this once wonderful place to get Pink Floyd RoIO CDRs doesn't exist anymore. But there are other CDR sellers, have a look at the Sellers on Web page.

Do-it-Yourself

• There are some sites which carry Audio Files tracks or complete RoIO albums for download. With the appropriate software, you can then play these files or even copy them to tape or CDR.

Be reminded that you are always on the edge of legality. I'm not responsible for what you are doing. The big record companies usually don't care about the RoIO market because it is small and they have to deal with bigger problems anyway. And before considering to get RoIOs you should buy all the regular albums. They are so much better in terms of sound quality.

If in doubt, visit the RIAA.
