SCA Dance CDs and Books

All CDs for sale on this site are made with the permission of the copyright holders. In July 1998 I setup a US $ bank account to make selling these CDs easier. Around July 2005 I closed the account due to a dramatic reduction in sales, and losses with the falling US dollar.

By summer 2006 CD sales stoped. I no longer stock or make CDs. The MP3's available on this site get downloaded a lot so I assume that people use them.

The CDRs that I've used and my experiences are on my CD Liners web page

As of 2007 I don't sell CDs any more. It seems that CD players tend to be very sensitive to CDs made by burners. As I sell the CDs at cost - every time I run into this I loose money. Some buyers have had severe problems, and CD sales are so low, that I no longer sell CDs. The MP3's are available.

Discography

The easiest way to find out exactly what is on a CD is to look at the CD Liners web page. The lists below are a list of what was on the original tape / CD when it was released. If you look at my "Notes on the Music" section below; you'll find changes that I've made. In one case (Tape of Dance 2) I could not fit all of the music onto a CD; and in other cases; I added music because there was room.
Here is a list of the dance songs on the original tape / CDs. In cases songs have been added or removed to the CDs I sell.

SCA Dance Books - General / Additional Info

I started selling SCA music CDs on May 1 1998 after launching the project Fri Nov 28, 1997. Things petered out around 2006 as CDs became less popular and people used the MP3 available or download.
