WE ARE ~LSO DROPPING THE PRICES ON CASSETTES AND EIGHT TRACK TAPES- from now
on cassettes are $5 per 90 minutes and 8-tracks are ~6 per 80 minutes.
This drop in pr.ice is due to the publication of Coup D'Etat - by Third
Press. The book details the rela·t:i.onship between Ruby, Hunt, Lansky, Sturgis,
o_swald etc. and has nothing to d.o ·w+th Dylan. (he had nothing to do with the
jF~ killing) TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THESE PRICES NOWJ
