Weird Tapes and other releases

[ANDREW GARIBALDI]

Hi,
OK - we are right now in the middle of data changing and checking here at
CDS and expect to have the web site up and running by end of Feb - or at
least that is the date we are aiming for. It is intended for the site to
have secure ordering facilities, but initially it will be more list oriented
than review oriented - there will be reviews there but they will be added to
regularly and while the web will be an insight into CDS, it will not take
the place of the catalogues which remain a priority. It's all a building
process and yuo have to start somewhere, especially as only two of us are
running it.
If anyone wants to order by e.mail you can ( agcdser at aol.com and
moiracdser at aol.com ), and don't forget, anyone ordering outside the EEC gets
seventeen and a half percent discount as VAT deduction..
Hope that's helped,
Andy G.
(Album of the Month: Devin Townsend- The Physicist)
