They had a policy of releasing *everything*, including recordings of all
their live shows. You used to be able to get a limited edition "suitcase"
containing the whole catalogue on tape.

Two versions of this...
1. The group felt they had taken the concept as far as they could, and
wanted to move on. Cards were printed and sent out with the message "The
Mission Is Terminated" on.
2. Chris Carter started shagging Cosi-fanni-tuti, who was at that time
Gen's girlfriend and that's why they split.
But anyway, some good stuff there if you rake around <g>
bye,
Eric.
