They do sell their discs at their own shows. I honestly have not
looked to see if it's the entire catalog ( I was only looking for
anything I didn't have at the time... Christ is my Hope and Don's
album... both of which I have now.) But they do sell them.

At their most recent show in Lancaster, PA as people shouted out their
requsts for old favorites, Karen said that they didn't remember how to
play a lot of the old songs. Also I recall reading an interview where
Karen and Don said that they thought the early stuff didn't even sound
like them to them anymore. So I think that they have just gradually
moved on.

Cheers,
