Dear Ozark Mountain Daredevils Fans and Friends,

 

What a delight it is to come to the time where we can tell you that we have just completed the reissues of the Daredevils’ A&M Records Catalog!

 

We just finished and printed “Don’t Look Down” on CD, and with the release of this album we have finally done what all of you have been wishing for in the last 20 years.  What a long road it’s been, but we made it!  You can now obtain CDs of The “Quilt” Album, “It’ll Shine When It Shines”, “The Car Over The Lake Album”, “Men From Earth”, “It’s Alive”, and “Don’t Look Down”. 

 

Not only do we now have “Don’t Look Down” available with the 11 original songs, the CD comes with

3 “Bonus Tracks” of previously unreleased songs.  Yes, we mean songs you have never heard.  New stuff on an old album!  As with all of our CD reissues, the package includes the lyrics and photos, attention to detail, and of course we have Digitally Re-mastered the music from the Original Master Tapes. The CD sounds really great, and reminds you that the music is truly timeless.

 

We want to be sure and let you know that we aren’t finished with reissuing the band’s music, just the A&M Records Catalog.  We do know that buried somewhere in storage at Universal (A&M) are some more unreleased songs that we haven’t been able to locate, but we will be trying to in the near future.  Also, coming in November 2005 is the reissue of the 1980 Columbia Records album.  We have started the package and are very glad to be working with SONY (Columbia) to put out this top-notch album by The Daredevils.  We know that many of you have never heard this album, and those of you who have are anxious to get it on CD.  We will be announcing the release in late October. 

 

A bit of trivia – We’re sure that some of you know about a UK release of “Don’t Look Down” that took place earlier this summer.  We were not aware of this ourselves until we learned of it from a fan!  It seems that another company can license these albums in another country.  It is a territory thing.  That company was not aware of our plans to release it and they put it out on CD.  What we know of this package is, it’s a low budget item and does not meet our standards of quality.  In other words, we have the “REAL DEAL” as described above.  So, if you want the best one, we recommend getting the New Era version. 

 

The price of the “Don’t Look Down” CD is $16.00 including U.S. and Canadian Postage.  When purchased with any other merchandise item the ‘Special Price’ is only $14.00, including postage and handling. (Please add $1.00 per item for all Credit Card Use.  Please add $4.00 per item for Overseas Shipment.)  We have the CD in stock, and you can order yours now!

 

We welcome and appreciate your support for the CD reissues and our efforts.  To help with the expense of the reissues we are continuing to have some ‘Special Pricing’ on some items or on combinations of items.  We have much more than just the CDs listed on this letter.  For more merchandise description and information please go to the Official Web Site at: www.ozarkdaredevils.com   For those of you who do not use the internet,  we recommend using someone’s computer for a visit to the web site to see the CDs, shirts, hats and all.  We have a price list available to those who cannot visit the web site.  If you want to order, but can’t visit the web site, please send a Check or Money Order payable to New Era Productions.  Mail it to:
