I've bought a few Runrig albums from the UK. I can't remember the company--it does require some patience, due to the longer shipping times.

I've gotten a CD or two from overseas.
Particularly good was a compilation called "The Piper's Rock" which features a bunch of up and coming uilleann pipers from Ireland. Unfortunately, it was recorded in the 70's and was only re-released in a small quantity.
I finally found an American Uilleann piper who ran his own CD importing business who was able to get it for me. He took care of all the hassle involved; I just remember the CD being a tad more expensive than others (mostly cause it was rare I think) and it was a sizeable amount of time between when I placed the order and when it came in.

It's not quite a CD, but I also ordered a Low D whistle from Howard and Sons. That was a great transaction except for the part where I had to convert $50 into pound sterling and send a money order across the ocean.

BTW...the CD distributer was Phillip Varlet. I think his business is called Celtic Imports or something like that. I recommend him highly. Fast, efficient, and reasonably priced considering the whole getting rare CD's from another continant deal.

Cheers
