without a maintainer (see earlier posting by Rob Vaughn), so do not bother

The Mail Order Company List, Revision One

Developed and maintained by Rob Vaughn <rob@msc.cornell.edu>
With input from Oyvind Breivik <s045@brems.ii.uib.no>,
H.W. Neff <bear@tcs.com>, Dave Datta <datta@cs.uwp.edu>,
Mason Jones <dante!mason@uunet.UU.NET>

Introduction
------------

The editor and contributors do not assume any responsibility for bad service
or other problems you may have with these companies.

If you know of a company you would like added, please send email.  It's much
more likely that it will be added to the list if you send all information in
one of the proper formats described below, preferably the extended one.

There are currently two versions of this file - a full version complete
with notes, and a minimal version that contains addresses only.  Although the
latter is better suited to computer-munging, both should be fairly easy to
manipulate.  I am currently working on a method to convert this file to
pretty-looking TeX and Postscript output.

In the full version, there are currently three types of entries - address-only,
where I have no information about the company; short-form notes that cover
some basics; or the extended notes, which I would ultimately like to have for
every address in this file.  Unfortunately, I have little or no time for this,
and so unless others lend a hand and send me properly formatted entries, this
goal may never be realized.

This file is intended to be an incomplete listing of persons, groups, and/or
companies that sell records, CDs, tapes, and other pre-recorded music-related
material via mail-order (although not necessarily exclusively.)

What this isn't trying to be: a complete end-all, be-all list.  I am not
interested in: addresses for bands or groups, radio stations, musical
instrument stores, people looking to make trades, bootlegs, etc.

Address Format
--------------

Although I am very interested in non-U.S. companies, for simplicity's sake
all addresses and phone numbers are U.S. unless otherwise noted.  Non-U.S.
phone numbers are listed in U.S. foreign dialing format.

Name (Contact)
Mailing Address
City, State Zip (Country)
Phone

Extended Entry Format
---------------------

Again, this isn't meant to be natiocentric, but all prices and numbers are
U.S. values unless otherwise noted.

Summary - a one-line description of the label.
Style - generalized description of musical style based on the following
	keywords:

grunge, blues, hardcore, punk, instrumental, classical, jazz, noise, pop,
garage, ambient, industrial, techno, house, rap, soul, easy listening, dance,

opera, metal, reggae, ethnic, worldbeat, folk, country, bluegrass
environmental sounds, sound effects, soundtracks, comedy, experimental,
