Hello Rich Fans,
I regret to inform you that the Canticle Of The Plains CD is currently out of stock. We realize that the timing is bad for this right now, but with the surge in interest for Rich's recordings, it is not surprising.
Kid Brothers is working frantically to get more in production. It will take at least a month to get another 10,000 copies in and then orders out. Kid Brothers is also negotiating with record companies to see if they want to pick it up, while continuing to send the proceeds to Compassion (not an easy task). The obvious advantage here would be greatly increased availability.
It has become necessary to increase the price of shipping and handling to 2.50. There may be a need later, depending on reorder cost, to increase the price of the CD which for now remains 15.00. Orders already in process will be honored, but please spread the word of the necessary cost increase. Orders sent after today will be held until stock comes in (again, about a month).
The order information now reads (as taken from the Canticle FAQ at http://www.kidbrothers.net/rmml/rmml132.html):
Currently the only way to order a copy (CD only) is by mail directly from Kid Brothers.
Send a check or money order for 15.00 plus 2.50 shipping and handling to:
Kid Brothers of St. Frank
303 N Hillside
Wichita, KS 67214
Make checks payable to: Kid Brothers of St. Frank
Allow 6-8 weeks for delivery
Proceeds from the sales of the Canticle go to Compassion USA Native Outreach Program
We will let you know immediately of any developments. Pray that negotiations for national distribution will be successful, meaning nation-wide distribution with proceeds still going to Compassion.
One quick note. There is a very good review written by April Hefner on the memorials held last week, and available on CCM Update Online at http://www.ccmcom.com/ccmupdate/97_10_06/news.html#story2.
