Hey thanks for the info! I'll pass that along, people will definitely want to know. :-) I do hope the stores see this as positive pressure. We just wanted to make sure they know that there's a ready fanbase here. This is awesome news!
lolz I think we emailed/wrote to Target as well. I'm not vain enough to think we had anything to do with the stores carrying Scream now, but it's good to see that they've stocked the cd on their own between the time we mailed (or before and we just didn't see it- quite probable) and now. When then idea for the mailing (to four or so retailers) was born, we searched around and even made in-store visits but couldn't find Scream in any of the physical (not online) chain stores to whom we wrote/emailed. I mean we even walked into these places and made them check their systems. In one case at Borders they used more than one search engine.
At least now the stores can feel justified in purchasing Scream! It's clear that people want the cd so they'll know that their investment is, hopefully, worthwhile. We just want to make things as easy for the band as possible when they get here and the only thing we can really do is make sure they're promoted by everyone and have as big a presence as possible here before their actual arrival.
