Dear Ozark Mountain Daredevils Fans and Friends,
We have some wonderful news! At last, The Daredevils' A&M albums from
the
70's are going to be reissued on CD. The first in a planned series of
complete album reissues is scheduled for release on 6/11/02.
Once we were able to get Universal Music Group to check out the A&M albums,
they released the collection "Time Warp" - The Very Best Of.
Thanks to you
the fans, it has been a success. We hoped that this would lead to them
releasing the individual albums. However, with all of the artists that
they
represent, they have too large an agenda, so things were put aside one more
time. Due to that, we offered once again to license the albums from
Universal and reissue them ourselves. This time they said YES! The
albums
we are able to license are: "The Car Over The Lake Album", "Men
From Earth",
"It's Alive", and "Don't Look Down". The first to be
reissued will be "The
Car Over The Lake Album". The others will be done approximately every
5 to 6
months. We know that most of you are asking why isn't "It'll Shine
When It
Shines" being done? As that album was a Gold Record in the 70's,
Universal
will not allow anyone to license it. Rumor is, Universal will release it
in
the next year or so. We certainly hope they do. We are so pleased
that the
albums we can license will finally become available on CD, as everyone has
wanted that for so long. Each CD package will have the original cover art
and photos, plus lyrics, and the music will be Digitally Re-mastered from the
Original Master Tapes. "The Car Over The Lake Album" CD will
have 14 tracks
including the songs from "The Little Red Record". Since we are
doing the
projects ourselves, this is a major commitment on our part. We are putting
a
lot on the line for this, and will more than welcome your support for our
efforts. We will have "The Car Over The Lake Album" in stock at
New Era
Productions on 5/20/02. You can order your copy now. By buying yours
directly from the band, you will be among the first to have one!
The price of the CD is $16.00. This includes postage, handling and tax.
We
know that some of you don't yet have a copy of the latest Studio CD by the
band titled "13". We do want the fans to have this great, new
music. So,
for a limited time, we are offering a copy of "13" for only $10.00
when you
purchase "The Car Over The Lake Album" directly from us. For
both CDs, the
total is just $26.00. (For Overseas Shipment, please add $4.00 per item.)

everyone you know that would be interested in this news. We are so glad
that
we finally are able to meet the demand for this timeless music, and hope this
pleases you as much as it does us.
