GME RECORDS & DISTRIBUTIONPhil Grasso325 Commercial St. Whitman, MA 02382 USA Email- GMEDIST@comcast.net Update: September 12, 2007
Hail !! Well, the day finally has arrived! Today is the official release date of the new STEEL ASSASSIN CD, "War of the Eight Saints"! Now because of STEEL ASSASSIN's contract with Sentinel Steel Records, we (and I at GME Records) are not allowed to sell this CD wholesale or do trades, so for any dealers looking to buy bulk or trade, you need to deal with Denis at Sentinel Steel Records directly. As far as retail, you can go through me. However, I'm not technically selling it o n the GME distro, but as a member of STEEL ASSASSIN that is in charge of filling the retail orders for the band. This CD is separate from any CDs that are sold on GME. The price for the new CD is: $12.00 pp in the U.S. Add $3.00 for Priority Shipping. Everywhere else, $14.00 pp. STEEL ASSASSIN will be going to Germany to play the Keep it True Festival on Nov. 3rd. As far as STEEL ASSASSIN merchandise is concerned, we will soon be putting out a bunch of different shirt designs, and maybe some hats, dew rags, sweat bands, etc. Check out the bands My Space site as well the official STEEL ASSASSIN site for updates / pictures.

AWAKENING STICK (U.S.) - Classic Hard Rock with rough, almost mild Hard Core style vocals BILLY JOEL with ATTILA/THE HASSLES - "Rollin Home" - This is a wild one!! Pre-pop Billy Joel. ATTILA stuff is the main stuff here. This band consisted of Billy and a drummer. Billy played Hammond B organs through 4 cranked guitar amps. He handled all the bass parts and lead stuff on the keys.

CASSETTES AND MAGAZINES |
|
GME has received some cassettes and magazines. Some have come as a result of some trading, while others like cassettes are for the most part sent by the bands as demos. Most of the cassettes are one copy only, so again list alternatives when ordering. Also, due to postage costs we need to require you to purchase at least three of these items at a time, in any combination. Foreign orders add $1.00 per item. If you are ordering a CD or a "T"-shirt along with any of these items, then neither the 3-item rule or the additional $1.00 charge for foreign orders apply! Hope I didn't confuse anyone, besides myself.
