Yep, I've had the Rezillo's CD for a while. I was looking for
album art suitable for framing (they're great conversation
pieces and look really cool in plexi-boxes on the wall). I
happened across "Can't Stand the Rezillo's" on vinyl in
mint condition for $8.00...couldn't resist. If you haven't
heard the Silicon Teens debut LP from 1981, look for it.
Some of the coolest synth-space-surf stuff around...ever!

Now, If I could only find the X-Ray Spex LP "Germ
Free Adolescents" I'd be set for life. Whatever happened
to Poly Styrene?

I have heard about it, and have probably driven past it several times.
I'll look for it when I'm out there next. I dig the Rhino mail order
catalog I get once in a while. Great reissues! The DIY series
was brilliant and they're still some of my favorite CD's!

I don't get to Pasadena often, but I do get to Glendale. I'll try to
check it out if I'm in the area (yes, I actually am jotting all the
suggestions down).

C'ya!
