Purchasing CDs Directly From The Artist Makes Sense!
When you purchase CDs on this site, you are purchasing DIRECTLY from us, Bill & Kate Isles. The order arrives in our email and is filled by us, personally, from our home in Duluth, MN USA, or from wherever we are on tour. When you do this, you are not only purchasing high-quality recordings of our songs, you are also helping us follow this dream. Be sure to drop us a line and, if you'd like the CDs personally signed, let us know in the comments section of the order form.

Payment Note: We are currently accepting credit card payments via Paypal.com. If you have trouble using your card (particularly with non-US cards), you may alternately send a MO or IMO payment to Bill Isles, 4519 Oneida Street, Duluth, MN 55804 USA. (US Residents can send a personal check). Please start the order, go to the shopping cart page, enter your zipcode to calculate Shipping, then print it out and mail it along with your check. Tip for international users: Be sure to click on the "Outside the US" location link under the title "Enter Your Credit Card Information". This sets Paypal to the international mode.  (if you'd like the CD signed by the artist, please indicated that in the comments section of your order)
