Deep Purple 4CD Live Box Cancelled

Fax from Connoisseur Collection to Cee Dee Mail dated 8th January, 1999.

"Sorry, but despite all my optimism it has finally happened:

Despite lengthy and high ranking negotiations to save it we are having to abandon the Deep Purple Box Set.

Having been given verbal assurances last October from all parties concerned that we could go ahead with our plans new political wrangling between some of the contracting parties has meant that one of them has withdrawn their support for this project.

To go ahead now without them would leave Connoisseur in conflict with these other parties which would affect our whole business and not just the box set.

This project has cost us a lot of money and even more effort so far, therefore it is with much regret that we have agreed to cancel the whole project.

I would like to apologise to you and all the customers that had already ordered this set but in these circumstances we really had no option.

Thanks for your ongoing support,
Best regards,

Mike Howell"
