POP

It is with great excitement that we at the Fred Bock Music Companies begin to roll-out a new feature for our internet customers. For the last few months we have been working extensively with International Music Net Incorporated, a new music retailer based in Texas, to bring back into the market the great Permanently Out of Print (POP) music in our catalogs. Previously, the economics of the music business didn't allow companies to keep large inventories of backlist music. However, with the advent of the internet and the ability to store these files digitally, all of the music that had to be put out of print can now be made available again. In very short order, we will be able to put the concept of POP permanently out of print. Isn't technology wonderful!

As you will see below, the first group of titles are available now to you. More are on the way in the coming months. (You can imagine how time consuming it is to re-engrave every piece of music.) If you select a piece from the list, you will be taken to the ChurchMusicNow.com website where you can preview the music in detail. This includes being able to see the music, as well as hear it from a MIDI file. If you don't see a piece that you're looking for, please don't hesitate to let me know. We'll do what we can to move that song to the top of the pile. You can contact me at sbock@fredbock.com.

Clearly, we are on the cutting edge of the technological change that is taking place in the Church Music industry. Sometimes we'll get it right the first time. Sometimes it might take a few tries. Either way, it's awfully fun to be riding this wonderful new wave.

Best Wishes to You and Your Choirs,

Stephen Bock
