brap@sonic.net asked for reviews of the new WE picture disc.
I don't know what responses are forthcoming as it's not out
for a little bit yet...
street date is 2/10/98 for stores though we are selling them direct through
mail order as mentioned in a previous email of mine. There are 2000
available worldwide to be divided up to US stores, mail order, import to
Europe and abroad.
As mentioned in a previous email of mine ( sorry, I don't have it, I'm on
the road ) they can be obtained direct through Asphodel. Until I get back
from the road, just email me to reserve one and I will be sure to hold one
for you. For those who have sent checks and money orders, yours is
reserved and we won't cash your checks until the mail time comes around.
The mail time should be the first week of January.
Not looking to pick on the CTI fan who mentioned that *every* CTI release
is great but I must say that I have about 30-40 CTI records and most of
them are great....there are *certainly* some real cheesebombs out there,
too. I used to hungrily buy all of the CTI I could snag and got some real
dogs along the way. Another super dope label, of course, is Kudu. As with
CTI, the majority of it is prime! But not all...
On the Weather Report tip, "Sweetnighter" is most definitely reissued on
CD, as with most (all?) WR back catalog. I've seen it all over the place.
I even believe that this CD is a "Nice Price" series if I'm not mistaken.
And with all of the end of year reminiscing and the IDM poll going down,
has there been talk or was there a mention in the poll ( sorry, I forgot
)of "greatest expectations for 1998"?
always looking ahead...
and for crying out loud, folks...did anyone mention Matmos?
a landmark for '97....
again, pardon me if I have forgotten...
