- From: gmgettie@THAMA1.APGEA.ARMY.MIL
- Subject: Everyone, please read this (about the compilation tape).
- Lines: 82
-
- I am pleased to announce that I am going to be the one to record the ALLMUSIC
- compilation volume 2 master tape(s). Marco Olivotto (olivotto@itncisca.bitnet)
- said he would take care of dubbing and distributing in Europe and other
- non-American countries. Paul Heroy (heroy@lsuvm.bitnet) has volunteered to
- copy and distribute tapes for the U.S. (Paul may need some help, especially if
- there are many tapes to be made. So if you are interested, please contact one
- of us).
-
- The following steps will be taken:
-
- 1) Everyone who wishes to participate will send me via PRIVATE e-mail
- (gmgettie@thama1.apgea.army.mil), at most 5 of their selections in order
- of priority. I need:
- the SONG TITLE,
- the ARTIST,
- the ALBUM(S), if any, this song is on,
- the TIME of the song (the EXACT time, if possible),
- your full name, and
- your e-mail address.
- The song should be at most around 8 MINUTES long. The songs will be
- put on the tape based on your priority and whether or not they will fit
- (time) on the tape. You have until Friday, January 8, 1993 to email me
- your selections.
-
- 2) I will organize the songs in a way that they will fit on a tape (90 minute
- most likely). If enough selections are sent to me, I will consider making
- an additional tape. EVERYONE is invited to participate. If I receive
- too many selections (a problem I'd like to have) some may not have their
- song(s) put on the tape. If you are helping out with the tape, your
- song(s) will definitely appear on the tape. The next deciding factor will
- be how long you have been on this list and/or how much you contribute to
- the list. Most likely, *all* of your 5 songs will *not* appear on the tape.
- It all depends on how many people respond and how long your songs are.
-
- 3) After I have the tape(s) totally planned out, I will start recording. Most
- likely, I will not have your selections. If I do not have or cannot borrow
- the necessary material you have the following options:
-
- a) Send me a CD(s) with your song(s) that I have chosen to be on the tape.
- Because I have the tape mapped out already, I will be able to
- record the song on its proper side of the tape and quickly send
- the CD back to you. If you want your CD returned to you include
- a check for return postage. I have contacted the post office in my
- area and have been told it costs between $1.20 and $1.40 (with
- envelope) to send a CD through the mail. If you are sending to me
- from outside the United States, this will most likely be more
- expensive.
- b) Send me a tape with your selection(s) recorded on it. Include a check
- for return postage money if you want me to return the tape to you.
- This option is probably better if you are sending me more than one
- song. Prices for sending the tape are approximately the same for
- sending a CD.
-
- I prefer the CD method for the following reasons. 1) Sound Quality.
- 2) For you. It is cheaper for you to send me a CD and pay for postage twice
- than it is for you to buy a tape and pay for postage. I realize some of
- you may not want to part with your CDs. I will send you your CD back a
- day or two after I receive it. You won't be without it for too long.
- I will post my postal address as soon as it is needed.
-
- 4) If for some reason people send their song via e-mail and DO NOT send me
- the CD etc. Paul, Marco, and myself will fill in the blanks with our
- songs or other songs that other people have sent me that I have.
-
- 5) I will send the master tape(s) to the distributors. They will handle
- copying tapes and sending out tapes to ANYONE who wants one. The charge for
- the tape will also be decided by the distributors.
-
- 6) If someone wants to make up some kind of booklet or something, like that
- was done for the last one, let me know. If someone wants to draw up a
- neat design for the tape cover, let me know. Otherwise, we will just
- include only songs, artists, and contributors names.
-
- This can work with a LITTLE BIT of effort from everyone. SEND ME YOUR
- SELECTIONS AS SOON AS YOU CAN. I must receive them by Friday, January 8, 1993.
- This will be as quick and painless as YOU make it!
-
- Seeya,
- Gary gmgettie@thama1.apgea.army.mil
-
- P.S. I will most likely resend this next week for the people that are on
- vacation.
