The Mail Order Company List, Revision One Developed and maintained by Rob Vaughn With input from Oyvind Breivik , H.W. Neff , Dave Datta , Mason Jones Introduction ------------ If you know of a company you would like added, please send email. The editor does not assume any responsibility for bad service or other problems you may have with these companies. There are currently two versions of this file - a full version complete with notes, and a minimal version that contains addresses only. Although the latter is better suited to computer-munging, both should be fairly easy to manipulate. I am currently working on a method to convert this file to pretty-looking TeX and Postscript output. In the full version, there are currently three types of entries - address-only, where I have no information about the company; short-form notes that cover some basics; or the extended notes, which I would ultimately like to have for every address in this file. Unfortunately, I have little or no time for this, and so unless others lend a hand and send me properly formatted entries, this goal may never be realized. This file is intended to be an incomplete listing of persons, groups, and/or companies that sell records, CDs, tapes, and other pre-recorded music-related material via mail-order (although not necessarily exclusively.) What this isn't trying to be: a complete end-all, be-all list. I am not interested in: addresses for bands or groups, radio stations, musical instrument stores, people looking to make trades, bootlegs, etc. Address Format -------------- Although I am very interested in non-U.S. companies, all addresses and phone numbers are U.S. unless otherwise noted. Non-U.S. phone numbers are listed in U.S. foreign dialing format. Name Street Address (if any) City, State (Country) Zip Phone Extended Entry Format --------------------- Again, this isn't meant to be nationocentric, but all prices, numbers, and addresses are U.S. unless otherwise noted.
