I had an opportunity to pick up the "Sampler '84" record this weekend and I really enjoy the various cuts that are presented on it. I hope they are representative of the type of music on the other records. The quality of the records are indeed first rate, especially considering the price (list was $9.95, I paid $8.95). Another thing I like is their low keyed approach to discourage pirate taping of their music. I quote: "Recently there has been a great deal of controversy regarding the widespread practice of home taping of phonograph records. Without reciting the pros and cons, or entering the debate in any way, I would like to point out the following. Windham Hill is a community of artists who depend upon the income from the sale of their records and concert appearances for their livelihood. I ask only that everyone weigh the possible economic impact on Windham Hill and the artists represented by the label in the taping of our records. This record label, though wishing to be profitable and thereby viable, was not born of greed, but rather to produce music of the highest quality. In all respects we count on you people to support our efforts, and for your help we are all sincerely grateful. William Ackerman" They have a card enclosed that can be sent in to add your name to their mailing list. This keeps you informed of not only of all new records but also when the Windham Hill artists will be performing in concert in your area. It isn't clear that you have to buy a record or not to be added to the list. If anyone wants to write, their address is: Windham Hill Records P.O. Box 9388 Stanford, Ca. 94305-0265 Hope this helps...
