I want to thank everyone for pointers to the Windham Hill Records.
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.

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...
