Many people have asked about 2003 concert appearances.  The band is currently on a touring break, but several activities are in process to set up new 2003 tour dates.  A few dates have already been tentatively identified and updated tour information will be posted on the web site and sent out in subsequent versions of this eMail Newsletter.  You can sign up for the eMail distribution list via a link on the official web site's "community" page.  Forward this e-mail to others who might be interested in receiving ARS information (Tell a Friend...).

We've received many requests from people trying to get information on the availability of ARS albums on CD or in original LP format.  While much of the overall ARS album catalog has been released (in various forms) on CD in the past, four great albums have not officially made it to CD.  Unfortunately, some of the albums that have been released on CD are not widely available in retail stores or online.   Albums currently released on CD include (see web site discography for more details about each album):

• "Atlanta Rhythm Section" (the 1st album) &
  "Back Up Against the Wall" (released as a single CD Japanese import)
• "Red Tape"
• "Are You Ready!" - Very limited CD release by Polydor in Germany

Locating ARS CDs and Albums

To help locate available CD and albums (new and used), the merchandise page on the ARS web site has a link to some products that are currently available through Amazon.com.  You may also want to check other online CD retailers (like EBay) or used record/CD stores in your area to see if they may have products available.
