June 16, 1998

It is with great pleasure (and tears in my eyes!) that I can pass along this announcement from Shawn's manager, Arlo Hennings:

"Shawn's A&M repertoire will start to be released on compact disc with a projected late August street date for the first two titles.  'Bright White' and 'Furthermore' will be the first two followed by 'Contribution', 'Collaboration' and 'Do You Wonder' in the fall.

Pre-orders are now being taken.  $14.98 for each CD, U.S. only.  $2.00 shipping & handling for one CD, $3.00 for two CD's.  Pre-order all five titles and receive free shipping!  New York state residents add 8% sales tax.

CD's will automatically ship as available.

Send check or money order to:

Wounded Bird Records
P.O. Box 48
Guilderland, NY  12084-0048

If customer includes their e-mail address, we will update them periodically."

Arlo also sent along this note for those that have contributed the funding necessary for the 'Moneydance' project (the re-release of Shawn's first two Columbia Records albums and the 'Transcendence' album):

"'Shawn', 'I'm A Loner' and 'Transcendence' will receive their orders before they're available to the public.

A special applause goes to Wounded Bird Records owner, Terry Wachsmuth for hanging in there through the many bumps with A&M.  (Terry is an EMH member and reads our posts).

And here's to you EMH,

"YOU'RE THE BEST FANS ANY ARTIST COULD EVER HOPE TO HAVE.

YOU DID IT!"
