    There is no subscription service for any of the series.  You can pre-order in advance from multiple retailers.

    Here's the Tone Poem release schedule.

    These will stay in print, it’s just tough to get into the production queue. Check out Music Direct, Acoustic Sounds and locals. Very few are real tough to get

    ...and more cool.

    THANKS GUYS!

    Elitists will always say their rare or expensive copy is the best of the bunch but its not always the case.

    I am far from an elitist. I have original pressings of Blue Train, Kind of Blue, and A Love Supreme, that I have tested against new, well regarded pressings. The expensive originals have won every time. That is not to say that these new pressings aren't good, but not as good as the original, which makes perfect sense. I'm looking forward to testing the new Ultra Clear KOB against the original.
    1991- Hollywood Palladium, California with Temple of the Dog, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains -RIP Magazine Show Oct. 6th
    1992- Lollapalooza, Irvine, California
    Nothing since then. I suck.
    2016- Fenway Park, Boston - Both glorious nights
    2022- Oakland Night 2
    2024 Sacramento, CA

    Originals, if in decent shape, really do beat even the best re-issues much of the time.  Just a few hours ago I ran into a local thrift store and found a copy of the Beatles "A Hard Days Night" LP.  It looked really rough but for $1.39 I figured, what the heck.  I got it home gave it a thorough deep cleaning and it still looked pretty scratched up.  But when I gave it a spin all the way through, I was blown away by how well those old deep grooves held up.  Other than some clicks on three cuts, it sounds quite good despite the abuse!
