West Side Story release delayed again

Mike Perlowin · Post by **Mike Perlowin** » 31 Aug 2001 7:23 am

Once again, my record company has decided to hold off releasing my West Side Story CD. (It was originally scheduled for release last November, than rescheduled for March of this year, then June, then September.)

The new release date is January of next year,I have been promised there will be no further delays.

The reason for all the delays is that the company's distributer went bankrupt. They now have a new one, and all the problems have been worked out, so hopefully this time the CD will be released. It's been sitting "in the can" now for over a year.

This is very frustrating.

Mike,

Would it be possible to do a partial production run; so you could at least get copies shipped to B0b to get sales going?

Rick, there is nothing I can do about changing the release date or getting some sort of litited pre release issue. This is the record company';s call and it's completely out of my hands.

Bob, the CD will never be an instruction CD as such, but I am tabbing out some of the tunes. I've already dome Maria, and am halfway through Something's Coming. In some cases the tabs will correspond to what I played. In others, they will be simplified arrangements.
