For those of you that don\'t know...retail marketing for a record by a small band is very tough, very competitive.

If you are near a Tower, Virgin, Bullmoose, Coconuts, FYE, Strawberries, Camaelot, CDWherehouse check to see if they have it.  If not, see if they will order it....

Let us know what you find....we can market the stores that don\'t have the CD.

Went in a Virgin and a HMV store over here in the UK and they didn\'t have it, though amazon.co.uk are listing it not as an import but as a regular UK release. Next time I\'m in town, will ask. It can\'t help to make enquiries over here; I might strike it lucky and find a shop  assistant who\'ll order it in and give it a listen.

You can just about get the later Phish albums over here and the odd panic disc, but that\'s about it. "Classic Rock", a British music mag, did review the Umphreys album, though. Am just glad I had my source to get a copy of RR already.

fye.com has it for $12.99, and its one of the top three when you search for The Breakfast (thought that was pretty cool). HERE. Although buying it from amazon.com helps out Dave. . .

we have a privatly owned music store here in Aberdeen, South Dakota that got 4 copies in and can get as many as you\'d like for just under $15.  They sold the last one yesterday and ordered more that will be in tomorrow.  Sam Goody of course doesnt have it here.  The only other places to buy music locally are Target, Walmart, Kmart, & Shopko.

They had two or three copies at the Strawberries in Providence, which I found shocking, although I shouldn\'t have.

Newbury\'s

Newbury Comics took in I think 90 copies for all the stores.  If you think of it...find out how many  a store has when you are there......it will help us judge how they are moving.

We are getting a listening station at Virgin in Boston.....if this proves successful we might do more, but they tend to be pricey.  if any of you are there....please check it out and let me know how it looks and if they have stock.  They took 10 for the store, which is pretty good.

I\'m hoping RR does well in Boston, its shaping up as a Breakfast town.

Boston better become a major Breakfast hotbed.  

Listening stations sound good.  I\'ve been buying music from bands that I\'ve never heard of strictly from listening to 30 second samples on amazon.com.
