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.
