BRUCE'S FINGERS: the subscription option
Yes, we know. Things appear on the BF website sporadically and unpredictably, at intervals varying from a few weeks to maybe a year or so. Even if you were a keen visitor of our website, you might lose heart at the number of times you have a look and there's nothing new available. And then something appears just when you're not looking...
Of course, every time something is added to the site, we e-mail everyone on the e-mailing-list to let them know. But e-mail delivery is pretty unreliable at the best of times, especially if you have tight spam filtering, or don't check through your junk mail folder.
So what can you do? Subscribe, that's what! All you have to do is e-mail us to let us know that you'd like to be a subscriber - then every time a new recording is available, we'll send you a PayPal invoice for the new item. If you'd like to buy it, you can pay the invoice - usually with just one or two clicks of your mouse - but if you don't fancy that particular item simply ignore the invoice (or better still drop us a note to say 'no thanks' - that way we know you received the invoice OK and don't try and send it to you again). There's no commitment to buy anything, and no payment in advance. And you can de-subscribe at any time, should you wish.
Plus, as a small thank you for making our life a little simpler, all recordings will be offered to subscribers at a 15% discount, compared to the standard website price. This discount will also apply to all your future BF album downloads - you'll be sent a personal discount code to use when checking out. (Also, if you use the download option to mail-order an album from the back catalogue with a simultaneous download, you'll get the 15% discount on the whole package.)
So... thank you for your attention. We look forward to hearing from you!
