The following has been posted under the Record Shop heading in the main Mudcat Menu for a very long time:

"While we revamp and update the Mudcat Record Shop, please contact Dick Greenhaus at Camsco Records.
Purchasing from Camsco benefits the Mudcat Café and the Digital Tradition."

I would definitely purchase CDs through this source if it were easier. I like to be able to go to website to sample music sound clips before purchasing. My guess there is a lot of work setting up such a website and it may not be practical. I would prefer this service to Amazon or Barnes & Noble though to benefit Mudcat. I realize if a CD is available at Camsco I can go to big retailer's website to listen to the tracks there, if available at that site, then purchase through Camsco. I have often done that before. I have gone to the extreme of purchasing a 21 track CD just to be able to get the one track I wanted because it was not available on any other format. However, I hate to purchase a $16.00 CD only to find I disliked all the tracks on it.

At the minimum it would be helpful to be able to order online instead of by e-mail or by phone.
