For several decades, we’ve happily sold thousands of our CDs through Amazon.com. We thought it was a match made in heaven.
But we no longer are willing to direct you, our customers, to Amazon because chances are very high that you’ll be buying an inferior copy of our CDs–something that is essentially a counterfeit knockoff, sold without our consent.
We’ve been working with Amazon to try to stop this unfortunate practice, but aren’t making much headway. We have, sadly, removed our CDs from Amazon, so if you see our CDs for sale on Amazon.com, please know that these are almost certainly pirated, probably illegal CDs.
We’ve removed links to Amazon from this website and are asking you to simply call us directly to order (at 404-316-3127).
Currently (2023), we see some of our CDs for sale on Amazon with the designation “CD-R.” These are ‘replicated’ CDs–basically, they are copies just like you’d make on your own computer. We have NEVER sold CD-Rs because they can be inferior. Our CDs have ALWAYS been made in the same factories that manufacture CDs for the top artists in the world.
I’m honestly surprised and disappointed at this turn of events, but since we can’t be sure of the quality of “Jim Gibson CDs” sold on Amazon, we can’t direct our customers there.
If we are ever able to resolve this frustrating problem, we’ll remove this notice, but for now be warned that the “Jim Gibson CDs” you see on Amazon likely are unauthorized, pirated copies.
So, please do NOT by anything that is labeled “CD-R” and PLEASE don’t buy a CD for more than $10.00. Just call us and get the real thing!
Again, please note that we can NOT control the prices Amazon charges for our CDs, and sometimes their prices (which can vary by the hour) are outrageously high.
The simplest approach is to just give us a call. We’ll take your credit card and rush your order right to you. (And don’t forget our new and lower prices–$10.00 each for all CDs, plus just a dollar shipping.)
