Must've been the 2nd half of the 90s, because these albums were released in 94-95 & we didn't have the Euro yet - there was a small music shop in a shopping mall that mainly sold the charting pop stuff & hardly, if ever, had any rock-related albums, and they did a sale - must've been something like (the equivalent of) 5 euros per album, 4 if you bought 5, and 25 euros for 10 albums. I bought most of them mainly on a hunch ; I think I was yet to discover (or had just discovered) mr.com. Don't remember all of them, I know the batch included Chicago's Night & Day (was quite disappointed with that, though I love most of their other stuff), but more importantly the recently discussed Bobby Kimball "Rise Up" album, as well as the phenomenal Frederiksen-Phillips album. Don't remember the rest, but these 2 alone were worth that 25 euro to me :)
