How can I get on the Oglio mailing list for new releases?

The best way is to hit our new MAILING LIST PAGE. Rest assured we will not share this information with anybody else. We will only use the information to keep you updated on Oglio related events and releases.

Who distributes your products in the United States?

The Oglio Entertainment Group and our affiliated labels are distributed by Fontana (a division of The Universal Music Group). Visit www.fontanadistribution.com for ordering information.

Who distributes your products in the rest of the World?

Worldwide physical CD distribution is handled by a network of partner labels and distributors. Individual titles are licensed to top labels in each foreign market with other titles being exported to a system of distributors. Digital distribution is handled by our large network of over 100 digital services.

Are your CDs or songs available as MP3 downloads?

We are a partner with Apple’s iTunes Music Store and 130 other worldwide digital services. Downloads are available through almost any legitimate service you can imagine. Some of our web pages have direct links to the iTunes Music Store.

I have a suggestion for a release. What are the chances?

We love your suggestions. Many of our releases do come from music fans that are looking for that hard to find record. Each suggestion is reviewed and perhaps one out of a hundred makes it to the licensing stage. Chances are that if you can't find it on CD, the master license owner doesn't want it out or simply wants too much money to license it.

I made my own CD and I would like Oglio to put it out. What should I do?

Oglio Records release schedule is packed at this time and we aren't looking at new projects.

I'm having trouble with my David Bowie & Bing Crosby Enhanced CD. Can you help?

I am sorry that you are having problems with the Bowie & Crosby enhanced CD. That CD was released about 10 years ago and there have been many, many changes to the PC operating systems over that time. Unfortunately our license for that title expired years ago and we are no longer permitted to update the disc. We are hoping to renew our license or make the video available next year. I appreciate your support of our products and again, I am sorry for the trouble.

Why don't you release another 80s compilation?

The compilation business is very tough, especially the 80s business. When Oglio got started in the compilation business in 1992 there were three or four other collections in the 80s section. Now the 80s sections has over a hundred different titles! Oglio stirred up alot of interest and other labels caught on fast.

The last few compilations that we brought to retail were greeted with "oh no, not another 80s collection!" We even received a copy of a memo sent to the entire music industry stating that a certain retailer was not buying any more 80s collections until the ones crammed in their bins sold. At this time there is just not enough sales potential to justify putting together another compilation.

What happened to SEX-O-RAMA Volume #1?

SEX-O-RAMA Volume #1 was a limited edition item and is no longer in print. We do not have any copies left here at our offices but you may have some luck checking with retailers in your area.

Volume #2 is in stores or at www.coolcds.com. If you would like to order one direct from us you can call 1-800-COOL-CDS with a credit card or you can order it on line at: http://www.coolcds.com

I have heard that Oglio released a Men Without Hats 2 for 1 CD. Where can I get it?

Oglio released the Men Without Hats "Rhythm of Youth/Folk of the '80s" 2 for 1 CD outside the USA in mid-February 1997. It has not been sold in stores, mail order only. We are still trying to get permission to release it in the USA and Canada. Still no word yet.

CMC International released the companion CD in Europe called "The Best of Men Without Hats." This CD is esentially the same thing but with different artwork and slightly fewer tracks.

If you are outside the USA or Canada I can sell you one of Oglio's directly. Otherwise, you must find it as an import or buy it from a friend overseas. For those outside North America: The CD is $15.98 US dollars + $6 US dollars shipping. I suggest a credit card for the best exchange rate. Second best would be an international money order made out in US Dollars.
