GENERAL INFORMATION

We hope to upload our entire database to this web site twice a week, adding all new releases & deleting any titles that are no longer available.

We attempt to maintain a constant stock in our warehouse of all items listed on this web site. While there are always titles that are temporarily out of stock, or become permanently unavailable unexpectedly, the great majority of titles listed are currently in stock. You can use the comments section on the order form to list any alternates in the event that you order something that is out of stock.

Our entire catalog can be browsed online in order by label or artist. New releases can be viewed here. The catalog can also be searched by artist, label, title, or keyword (any word you choose that might appear in the artist name, label, title, format, description. ie: 7", video, hose, etc.)

If you'd prefer to view our entire catalog offline, you can download it as an Adobe Acrobat PDF file. Weighing over 2 MB, our 250 page printable mailorder catalog is organised by label and indexed by artist.

We also offer weekly mailorder updates via email to announce new titles in stock.

PROBLEMS

If you are having problems using the shopping basket, chances are that you need to change your browser preferences to accept cookies. Cookies will retain your shopping basket and your shipping and billing info as well as your email address. Cookies _will not_ retain your payment/credit card information!

If you receive a message when placing an order that "Site Certificate has expired", you need to upgrade your browser to a more current version. This is not a security issue - it is a browser incompatibility problem.

If your order is being shipped UPS domestically and you have not received your order within 7 business days of receiving shipment confirmation, we can track your order for you. If you have any other problems/questions/concerns, you can email us.
