Rumsby" Subject: Re: Peter White CD I also went to Boarders last night and had to look under Peter Whiter to find it. No Promo or advertising. They did not even have it under "New Releases" for Jazz. Peter's producers and ad agency should get over to Boarders and read them the riot act. Very poor promotion. By the way, I enjoyed the cd and the three additional cuts very much. ANy word on the November Basia Bash. When is it going to be released?

Finally, I asked the sales people and they had to go to the computer to see if it was in, found five in stock, then went behind the counter and looked in a box to get it. You are right, it should have been out on display. I am thankful that they even had any left.

Remember how well that was promoted? I don't get it. I havent seen a whole lot of promotion generally for Perfect Moment. You would think... Especially with Borders and their limited run. What the...? A bunch of people just need to be smacked upside the head, I think. And soon. - -Leslie's thought for the day (and while we're at it, why isn't the new release date for the "Basia bash" being posted on Sony's website?) >I also went to Boarders last night and had to look under Peter Whiter to >find it.
