Hi Steve,
We are waiting for the paperwork to come from the label we are dealing with. It is our policy not to announce a title until we have a signed license. Believe me Steve, I wish I could have already announced them even more than you do. But we have seen cases where we had agreements in principal that didn't go through and these negotiations have been going on for more than 7 months. It's seems to be a sure thing now, to the point that Paul has scheduled time to drive down and pick up the masters next week. So I would guess the announcement will be any day. I have called Romo and asked him to check the mail twice today. ;^)>
We do appreciate that our subscribers have shown great support for Series Two. Many decided to opt for a selective subscription for the six titles we had announced, which seems like a reasonable approach to me. They can add the other titles to flesh that out to a full subscription at subscriber pricing as they see fit once the last four are announced. That has always been our policy for selective subscribers. The titles that we are working on closing are from a major label and I think folks will be pleased with the selection.
Hi Alex,
See my mention above that we have four TP-005 Suite Espanolas waiting to ship. Yours is one of the last four albums that are awaiting their spine labels in order to ship. Regarding Waltz for Debby, our records indicate that two tapes were shipped to you, number TP-007 and TP-008 on 6/19. We find a delivery confirmation at the USPS website for one of those packages on 6/26. Presumably that was TP-007. We had 10 albums from that day's shipment that were somehow delayed in USPS's system. A person Eileen spoke to at USPS the next day said that they will be delivered and we have since seen delivery confirmations for a couple of them. You might wish to contact Eileen at queen at bottlehead dot com if you need help to track that one down.
If anyone else is expecting albums TP-001 through TP-004 or TP-006 through TP-009 and hasn't received them please don't hesitate to contact Eileen. We don't have the manpower to actively pursue a followup on every package we ship, so we won't know if you have been waiting for a package an inordinately long time unless you contact us.
