BEWARE OF PRICE GOUGERS


Once a month I try to check on the internet to see what is going on with CRT at various sites. Some of the "satellite sellers" or whatever they are called, on Amazon, are selling some of our titles for outrageous amounts.

I have seen our LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW for as much as $900.00 for the CD's! That is just plain WRONG. Even now it is at $40.00 for a used copy. You can buy the download on Audible for $8.95! Now that the show is no longer available they think they have some kind of rare recording - which is ridiculous. It will be released again, this time from our new publisher, Brilliance Audio, and will be better distributed than it ever was with our old publisher. Same goes for CAPTAIN BLOOD, THE FATHER BROWN MYSTERIES,KING SOLOMON'S MINES, BARRYMORE. They may be unavailable at the moment from Amazon, but that's just temporary, to be sure.

A QUICK CHECK IN

It's SEPTEMBER ALREADY!? Well, lots going on. We have recorded two episodes of the upcoming VINCENT PRICE PRESENTS series; ongoing with JARREM LEE - GHOST HUNTER, and since July we have been recording PROJECT-X that I will announce soon. In Marks department, contracts are flying out the door left and right: watch for
WAR OF THE ELEMENTALS and QUATERMAIN, both in association with Bluewater Productions, coming your way in 2011.

Speaking of VINCENT PRICE PRESENTS, I am hoping to attend his Centennial Celebration in St. Louis in May.

I am also planning on being in Toronto early next year for Christopher Plummers revival of BARRYMORE, by William Luce. It will be great to finally meet Bill in person after working with him on the audio production of this great play. We have become good friends and we've never met!

I pulled out of the planned stage production of THE LION IN WINTER that I had mentioned for January. I just don't have the time anymore, I'm sorry to say. Would have been fun, though, under different circumstances.

Sound rolls on LOGAN'S RUN in November, and also in November, watch for our first titles being released by Brilliance Audio!

NOV. 1: CHARLES DICKENS' A CHRISTMAS CAROL.

NOV. 7: ZORRO AND THE PIRATE RAIDERS

NOV. 15: WALTER KOENIG'S BUCK ALICE AND THE ACTOR-ROBOT

I saw the cover art for ZORRO and it's fantastic! Really pops!

Ron Boyd, in Toronto, is designing the cover art for BUCK ALICE, and will be ready by Monday!

Time to call it a day. It's been a very long one.

Next time!
cheers - J
