Newsletter Vol.2 No.40 12/09/05

Greetings from Quimper Sound. Not much exciting happening in New Releases this week - nor will there be for a while. However, we did *finally* get a limited number of Johnny Cash's "At Folsom Prison" CDs back in. They've been unavailable across the country for the last several weeks and have just started trickling back into the pipeline. If this is something you want for yourself or as a gift I suggest you strike while the iron is hot! Also, we just got a T-Shirt refill - so if you've been waiting for your size to be restocked, come on down! Finally, we've started putting our 'Gift Guides' up on the website. So far we have Box Sets and DVDs. If you have any suggestions (or complaints/compliments) feedback is much appreciated - keep it coming to: feedback at quimpersound.com - thanks! And now, on with the show . . .
