UPDATE
June 16, 2017
People aren't screaming from the audience anymore
like they did 20 years ago unfortunately,
there's no interference anymore,
which is a pity because it is good to have critics in the audience."

Creative Sources Back Catalog

As we mentioned a few weeks ago, we've acquired a large number of Creative Sources titles as we catch up with the catalog, and we're using our new Back Catalog category to introduce them to our customers, so that they don't overwhelm our Just In and Recent Releases categories. The first set of fully catlaoged releases is now listed in that category, 21 albums that deserve your ear's attention. To celebrate the start of this acquisition we're putting ALL Creative Sources releases on sale this weekend at 15% off their regular retail rate. And we're offering reward points on those purchases. So take a good look at the new additions in our Creative Sources catalog, and also previous releases, and take advantage of these great prices!
