Newsletter Vol.3 No.3 1/27/06

Greetings from Quimper Sound! Not much to report this week, though there are a few interesting new releases. There is a European label that is starting to put out 10 CD box sets of major jazz artists and classical works. I'll be getting a couple of them in next week and checking them out. I'll report back - if they have what it takes I'll let you know and start stocking a variety of sets - if they don't, we won't stock 'em. Stay tuned. A reminder to check out the website for new "Web-only" deals as well as to check in on what's on sale downtown. As always, feedback is much appreciated - keep it coming to: feedback at quimpersound.com - thanks! And now, on with the show . . .
