Those of you who have recently ordered the new "Jim Reeves Show" 5 CD set (that consists of 165 tracks, including new songs that Jim never recorded for RCA), should be seeing your copy in your mailbox soon, if you haven't already, as most of the orders have been sent in recent days. (If yours has, you will have already been emailed a tracking number).
As I previously posted, we SOLD OUT of the first supply of copies. And then we SOLD OUT a second time! But not to worry. More are on the way.
This being Thanksgiving week, the manufacturer told us they will be shipping us the copies next week, at which time we'll be mailing your order (if you haven't already received yours).
This will assure you receive it in plenty of time for holiday-gift giving or to enjoy the incredible Jim Reeves music (which also features the Anita Kerr Singers and Owen Bradley leading a 22 piece band), during this festive season.
If you have not yet listened to audio samples, or placed your order, be sure to do so today. You can get 5 CDs for about $10 each -- a bargain. This set had been unavailable for almost 10 years, and only recently was re-issued by VoiceMasters.
NO OTHER LABEL IN THE WORLD has all these tracks, so you can't find this material anywhere else. That's how rare it is. (Last year a complete, unopened set sold for $250 on ebay!)

I personally reviewed emails today that Julie received from customers inquiring where their CD orders were. One man wrote us AFTER the post office confirmed his order was delivered TODAY. (The bar code/tracking number is scanned in by the mail carriers at the point of delivery and instantaneously appears in the U.S. postal system online, so this indicates the customer didn't bother to check his own mailbox before emailing us!)
I can't recall a time when fans were SO VERY EAGER to get ahold of a copy of one of the VoiceMasters releases, but of course this one is very special, with the 165 tracks and songs/narratives Jim Reeves never recorded for RCA.
Some other fan in Australia wrote to ask why he hadn't received his order (which he just placed last Friday). Does he honestly expect it to travel halfway around the world in just 4 days? We send all foreign orders via U.S. First Class International Mail. If he wanted it that fast it would have cost him $51.63 in Priority Mail postage! I don't think he'd want to pay that much.
Another woman emailed me from Gibraltar asking me WHAT DAY her package would arrive, as if we have any control over postal authorities in her country. (I even had to look up WHERE Gibraltar is and found that it is located on the southern end of the Iberian Peninsula at the entrance of the Mediterranean.). It is exciting to contemplate how many corners of the globe our CDs reach!
But dear fans, PLEASE be patient. These packages WILL be in your hands shortly and, like Julie says, in plenty of time for the holidays. Many of you have already received your orders.
I'm very happy that fans are so enthusiastic and eager to receive the 5 CD "Jim Reeves Show" set but please be realistic. Every single person who orders is emailed a tracking number and you can monitor the progress of your order on the www.usps.gov website. No package is ever dispatched without a tracking number so we can confirm delivery. We use more than one fulfillment company to send our orders and they are all first-rate professionals.
Perhaps fans who have already received their orders could write into the Fan Forum and tell us their opinion of the music?
In the meantime, NOW is the time to order your set to make sure it reaches you before Christmas! Click below to hear the audio samples and order.
