Huzzah! Footlight.com won't be closing after all!

To One & All:

First I must apologize to everyone; you probably think that I am the Boy Who Cried Wolf. Believe me the last thing I wanted to do was shut down.

With the help of some other people in the industry I have worked out a plan to restructure the website. This will hopefully work out and keep Footlight alive.

First of all it is amazing how well records have been selling on the site. We plan to keep on expanding this area.

I feel what will work to keep us afloat is to narrow our focus to Cast Recordings, Vocalists, a limited selection of Film Soundtracks, and DVDs.

This will entail stocking all the new releases domestic and imports in these categories as we have done in the past, but only having them available for a limited time (two or three months) this is the period in which we sell about 90% of the sales of any title.

We will carry a selection of featured labels; for instance Bay View, Original Cast, Jay, Fynsworth Alley and others. We will continue to stock the complete catalog of these labels.

We plan to expand our Rare Section of CDs by offering to purchase CDs you may want to sell. You may e-mail us lists and we would let then let you know which ones we are interested in and make you an offer. Of course they must be in mint or near mint condition.

We plan to make these changes to the site over the next couple of weeks.

We will be getting in the newly released A. L. Webber titles from London next week.

All the best,
Ron Saja
