Haven't been on the net for a while..(account died, and currently in
New Jersey for the summer)...

SOme records I got since school ended...

DAVID J's LP, "On Glass" (On Glass Records, of course!)...
David J = Bass player from Bauhaus, in Love and Rockets, etc...
Good album, but don't expect it to sound *like* Bauhaus (only
one song sorta does - "I Can't SHake the Shadow of Fear")
The music has more acoustic guitar, piano, and the like...one
track even has the Jazz Butcher...

The Mission's EP, "Serpents Kiss" - sounds exactly like the
Sisters of Mercy (I wonder why?!?! *snicker*)  need I say more?
But good stuff nonetheless...

Love and ROckets' EP "Kundalini Express" is...GREAT!  THe usual
distortion guitar....and a cover of "Lucifer Sam" on the B-side.

and for some unknown reason, I purchased a copy of Sigue Sigue Sputnik's
"21st Century Boy"...   and...it isn't much better than "Love Missile
F1-11"...  in fact, IT SOUNDS pretty much THE SAME...just different words.
Even the B-side, "Buy EMI (4 Million Pound Mix)" sounds like the B-side
of Love Missile!!! (ARGH!)

Until I get on some compuiter system again...

The following concerns the Kate Bush picture disc. I posted an
article to LH about it several weeks ago, and deleted it, but it
never went through. However, I kept a printed copy of the file,
so here it is:


(Date:  June 8, 1986)

I finally got a hold of the KB picture disk of "the Big Sky".
In fact, I got the very last on e in the HMV shop in Brighton!
(However, when I went down the street to Virgin records, they said that they
were still waiting for the order to come in!)

I have to admit, it's somewhat of a disappointment in that the so-called
"stunnin" picture of Kate is the very same one that has been used over and
over in many articles, not to mention the "album issue" cover of the KBC
newsletter - namely, the "hands on temples" face-shot. Yawn.
Well, ok, it's not that it's a bad picture...it's just reflects the ongoing
tendency of the KBC not to go out of their way to dig up extra special
pictures for use in special "collectable" items. In fact, I would have
thought that they would put out more picture discs, etc, in light of
the large number of collectors.

Since this specific picture has often been used before, it was strange that
they would re-use it for the picture disk.  The back of the pd is white, and
just has a small "Laura Ashley" style face-shot, with Kate in the frill dress.
Still, the pd is obviously worth searching out in light of the rarity of
such items. (It doesn't sound like EMI printed up all that many of them).

Last month's Spin: they had a full page Butthole Surfers review and a
full page Surfers interview, and they wouldn't put the Surfers' name
on the cover. Are these guys afraid they'll scare the trendies away
or what???

This month's Spin: so Spin decides to carry Jimbo. Does this mean I'll
have to buy every issue now? (please, no, no... :-) The first instalment
looks much slicker and comprehensible (heh) than older Jimbo strips
I've seen...

The latest OPtion: Interesting (but too short) interview with Fred Frith.
Also Chris Cutler and Tom Hodgkinson (sp.?), and differing views from
Jon Hassell and Wim Mertens (sp.?) on Third World influences on new music.

I just sent a message to Doug Alan concerning this, but I think
I'll make it a wider posting, to increase my chances of success.

Basically, I'm looking for a Japanese Import CD of Joni Mitchell's
1982 album (on Geffen Records) of "Wild Things Run Fast."

Now I KNOW that it exists, because I saw it in Tower Records
on Sunset Blvd. in 1983, but at the time I didn't have my CD player
yet, and it was also priced around $18.00, which, at the time,
seemed pretty high, so I didn't buy it.

Of course, I have cursed the day ever since, because I have
been searching for it constantly, but havn't seen it ONCE since then.

Does anyone know of any good Japanese import CD firms?

If anyone happens to stumble across a copy of it, could you buy
it for me, and I will gladly reimburse you for whatever it costs,
or if you are into collecting Kate Bush stuff, I'm sure I'd have
some rare stuff that you would like in exchange.

or to       ed191-bq%ucblilac.arpa

(By the way, that's a "Q" as in "Quail" at the end of the username)

I'll be at the latter address as of July 20.

Thanks,
