Hi!
        Well, someone a while ago posted a address and listing of her stuff 
here...I will dig it up and repost it...basically, she sells her stuff 
directly, and WEA Records distributes only  the latest, THE VISIT. I prefer  
buying from her, but it is also good to buy from WEA since they will 
continue to distribute her stuff if there is strong sales...and there should 
 be, her stuff has been on the top seller charts in most Canadian cities 
almost since the release of the album...about 6 or more months ago (I have 
lent out my copy, so I cannot check the date). If you like Kate Bush, Sarah 
McLachlan and Tori Amos, you will probably like Loreena McKennitt as well!
