I am pleased to announce the opening of our new webstore.

Operating under the name “Devgel Merchandising,” the store is your place to order albums, apparel and more for “Asia featuring John Payne,” “GPS,” and a few others. Currently, there are only a handful of items available, but that number will grow over the next few months and will include downloadable content. If you have been waiting to order a signed copy of the Sony/BMG “Extended Editions” CD, you may now do so via the store.

All payments are handled via PayPal (including credit card transactions), and shipping is through the US Postal Service. Drop by, take a look, and let us know what you think.

For those of you interested in ordering a signed copy of the Sony/BMG “Extended Versions” live CD, we are putting the final touches on an online store and will launch it soon with that release.

Pricing is expected to be around $12.95 plus shipping, but final pricing will be established when the store goes live.

It is with great pleasure that we unveil the home of “Asia featuring John Payne.” Here you will find a wealth of information pertaining to John’s tenure in the progressive rock band “Asia.” Several features will be added over the next two weeks including a complete discography, photo gallery, jukebox, tour dates, and more.

We’d also love to have you join our Google Groups discussion list using the sign-up form in the left sidebar.

Thanks for stopping by, and we hope you’ll visit often.

Sony/BMG will be releasing an “Extended Versions” live recording featuring John Payne, Geoff Downes, Guthrie Govan, and Jay Schellen. Included on the CD are: Time Again, Only Time Will Tell, Wildest Dreams, Here Comes The Feeling, Silent Nation, Long Way From Home, Cutting It Fine, What About Love, Sole Survivor, and Heat of The Moment.

The CD has a scheduled release date of October 16 and signed copies will be available for pre-order soon.
