It depends on the packing materials used. About 8-10 ounces for normal Type I and II tapes, like TDK SA-X or Maxell XL-IIS, works out to around $2.50 or so. Stick a $3 stamp anyway, and don't worry about it. :) If you're sending something like Sony Metal Masters, though, it's quite a bit more. Personally, I like to drop directly at the post office anyway, both to use the postal meter to make sure I've put enough stamps on there, and because I feel like my tapes are a little safer not having sat melting inside the oven that is a typical mailbox.

Anxious Everyday Angels, This is it, time to get your tapes!! :) :) Mike thinking to self...."Our father, who art in heaven...." First of all, ALL AUSTRALIAN BRANCHES AND LEAVES!! Please ignore this post, your situation will be handled seperately beginning NEXT week after this portion of the tree closes. Listen (listen?), PLEASE read EVERY word of this post. Many of you are experienced tape "leaves" and/or "branches". However, many are not and may be totally lost in this. This post is written for their benefit...the rookies. So veterans, please bear with me and read all of this ALSO so YOU don't miss anything. Alan and I have spent ungodly hours preparing this tree. Please spend the few minutes it will take to read this whole post. Print it out if you have to. (I suggest you do) A SYNOPSIS OF THE PROCEDURE: This part of the JewelStock Tapes Tree is a THREE tape set. You (the leaf) will EMAIL me during your specified time period (shown later in this post) requesting tapes. I will assign you to a branch and EMAIL the both of you within a week, likely sooner. The branch will contact you when it is time for you to mail him/her blank tapes. That may be two or three weeks from now, so be patient, if it is to be longer, he/she will contact you. You will then send blank tapes per instructions below and/or dictated by your branch. The branch will copy the tapes for you and mail them back. You then listen to these wonderful tapes in bliss. - ---------- ELIGIBILITY FOR TAPES: To receive the JewelStock Tapes as a leaf, you must have been a member of either the Jewel, Jewel-Digest or Jewel-News mailing lists as of 12:01am EST Monday September 16, 1996....just a few hours ago. There will be no exceptions. There are very good reasons for this and I will not go in to them now. Please realize, if you have missed this cutoff date, you will very likely be able to get copies from one of the many EDAs who will have these tapes when this tree is completed. (Don't worry about a further generation copy being less quality, I've made a 4th generation test tape and it far and away BLOWS AWAY any Jewel concert tape I've heard) - ---------- BLANK TAPES: Due to the _very_ high quality of the master tapes we have of the JewelStock Concerts, we strongly suggest you get Type II blank tapes, and I highly recommend Maxell XLIIS 90 tapes. They DO last longer than Type I and Maxell XLII. You'll be doing yourself a favor by getting better blanks than you usually do. - ---------- MAILING BLANK TAPES TO YOUR BRANCH: When your branch notifies you, you will send him/her your THREE blank NINETY MINUTE tapes in a padded/bubblewrap mailer, and will include in the package enough postage to cover the return mailing. If you enclose a $3 "Space Shuttle Stamp" (United States only), your branch can mail it via US priority mail. Canadian Leaves will have been assigned to the Canadian Branch and you can hammer out the postage details with him, but it's pretty much a similar procedure overall. You can mail your blank tapes in one of two basic ways: 1) A smaller padded UNSEALED envelope (containing your 3 blank tapes) placed inside a larger padded one, which will also contain the return postage & a SELF ADDRESSED RETURN MAILING LABEL. You would seal the larger padded envelope (with the smaller one inside) and mail that to your branch. - or - 2) a padded envelope large (but not too large) enough to hold your 3 blank tapes plus the return postage and a SELF ADDRESSED RETURN MAILING LABEL. The branch would use the SAME padded envelope to return the tapes. Method #1 is the prefered method to assure a smooth procedure. Please consider using it. If you are unsure of how much to put on the RETURN mailer for return postage, or to include in the package for the return postage, just do the following at a post office near you: Get the small padded envelope that your branch will be sending the tapes back to you in and put your tapes in it. Place it on the scale (or ask the clerk to do so) and buy STAMPS (not post office pre-paid/DATED ones) to cover the postage. Put that unsealed padded envelope in a larger envelope. Seal it, pay for the postage on it, and mail it. If you don't use a larger envelope to place the smaller one inside, do the same thing (have it weighed) and buy STAMPS, put them inside, seal it, pay for the postage on it and mail it. - ---------- WHEN TO EMAIL ME: Please adhere to this schedule as closely as possible. It is for my benefit and YOURS. It is to avoid my EMAIL box from overloading and the loss of EMAILs and requests for tapes. It is based on your LAST name: NOTE - This is an 8 day "window", one more than announced before: 12:01am EST Tues 9/17 thru 12:01am EST Thur 9/19: LAST names A thru M 12:01am EST Thurs 9/19 thru 12:01am EST Sat 9/21: LAST names N thru Z 12:01am EST Sat 9/21 thru 12:01am EST Wed 9/25: ALL last names Don't worry if you go over a boundary by an hour or so, I'm just trying to prevent an EMAIL overflow. Also, don't be in a big hurry to EMAIL me, you can wait until the second day of your "window", you can wait until the last half of the first day of your "window"...I just want to spread it out. On Wednesday 9/25 this tree will be closed for sign-ups permanently. As I said above, if you miss this window, you will very likely be able to get copies from one of the many EDAs who will have these tapes when this tree is completed. - ---------- HOW TO EMAIL ME: Do NOT get this wrong! It HAS to be right!! When you EMAIL me, you HAVE TO use the following format in the _SUBJECT_ of the EMAIL, NOT the body, but the SUBJECT!!: all lowercase letters, no capital letters please! example------> leaf - lastname, firstname (country or US territory) example------> leaf - clinton, bill example------> leaf - van dyke, dick (canada) example------> leaf - vega, antonio (puerto rico) You DO NOT have to fill in the country if its the USA (50 states only), US territories please fill in your territory name. All other countries fill in your country name. That's it. No JS, no JewelStock, just --> leaf - lastname, firstname (country) In the body of the EMAIL just tell me you'd like the JewelStock Tapes. - ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Ladies and Gentlemen, start your keyboards! ;) Everyone involved in this project sincerely hope you enjoy your tapes, Your fellow Everday Angel, Mike ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V1 #579 ***************************
