Collecting live recordings and finding out- of- print CDs
Some of the live recordings on CDs are available in shops. Not where I live, but I was already in shops carrying live opera recordings. Online shops are a good source for CDs, released under labels like Legato, Myto, Bella Voce, GAO, Opera d'Oro and a few more. You find a list of online shops on JCarreras.com.
Another source are shops specialized on live recordings:

Finding out- of- print and import CDs and LPs
There are a few ways to find these CDs and LPs.
Visit online auctions
Online auctions like Ebay usually have listed recordings with José Carreras.
http://www.ebay.com/
http://www.ebay.de/
Type Carreras into the search box.Stores with used and import CDs
There are a lot of stores with used and import CDs and LPs. Unfortunately they seldom list any
information about what the recordings contain.You may try one of these shops. I only bought something from CyberCd so far, because of this
I'm not able to recommend any of the other shops. But I had a look if they really have Carreras
recordings listed.http://www.amazon.com/

Import CDsDirect search
If you know the title and contents of the recording (have a look in my database), you may also like to try the direct way of searching . Go to a search engine and type several keywords into the search box. I tried that with google when a gathered information for my database and found some used recordings.Example:
+carreras +final +romance
or
+carreras +"final romance"
Well, at least I found the video at once.I hope these links are helpful. If you know other good sources, send me an Email.
Please, don't ask me where to find a special recording, I really don't know. I would have to search, too and I don't have the time to do it.
