Lonely Whistle Music

Lonely Whistle Music has been distributing tapes and CDRs since 1984. Originally set up to house the music of Don Campau, over the years this label has been offering the best in home recorded, personal music from many different international artists.

I have recently deleted items from the old catalog but if you really want a specific older item, let me know and I’ll see what I can do.

Many Lonely Whistle CDRs can be downloaded or streamed for free, but if you would like the high quality WAV files, the special and unique paper covers with inserts, and a hard copy of handmade quality, please browse our catalog and place an order.

Prices are kept cheap to allow you to take a chance on little-known artists — and there is a money back guarantee on all items.
