How to get your copy of
The Frog Blues & Jazz Annual No 1
Special notice for U.S.A. & Worldwide customers.
We have been receiving many emails from potential buyers of The Frog Blues & Jazz Annual No 1 that complain of the heavy cost of the book outside of the U.K.
We would like it known to all you Blues & Jazz fans out there, that Frog Records have no control on the sometimes exorbitant prices charged for The Frog Annual (and it’s CDs) outside of England.
However, there is an easy solution to this problem.
We make a lot of direct sales throughout the world and we prefer it that way. If you feel the prices being charged in your country are way over - the – top – then please contact us.
Total cost of The Frog Blues & Jazz Annual (complete with complimentary C.D.) as a direct sale from Frog Records would be £36 (52 US dollars, 41 Euros) including airmail to the U.S.A. and the rest of the World. This is much less than half the price charged by some greedy mail-order set ups.
Payment can be made which ever way you prefer. Either UK cheque or even pound/dollar or euro cash is fine - but please, for your own protection, send cash in a registered envelope.
Probably the easiest and safest payment method is by credit/debit card. Card detail can be given over the phone direct to me on 44 1252 620814 or card detail split between two/three emails (for security).
If you think the cost of a phone call will be expensive – just leave your number & we’ll ring you!
We will endevour to get your copy of the Annual (or any CD orders) in the mail the same day as you order and usually takes about 4-5 days to get just about anywhere in the world.
We look forward to hearing from you.
All the best,
Paul Swinton
