hmm...I'm not familiar, but am very interested in that Ronnie & Clyde LP! I do know that the label you're referring to is Derailed out of NYC. If you're in the college radio biz, you may know one of the owners, Sherwood of AAM Promotions. I think they've been licensing a lot of stuff from Leaf UK for domestic release. In addition to the Sons of Silence Vs. Ronnie & Clyde 12" I know they've released an excellent comp. of previously released on Leaf stuff called "Derailed Presents Fallout" (MDMA - 02): 1. The Sons of Silence - It's a Bloodbath 2. A Small Good Thing - Cooling System [edit] 3. Ronnie & Clyde - Chicken Dinner 4. Luger - Pass Agent 5. The Sons of Silence - Silence Go Boom! 6. Four Tet - Field 7. Witchman - 4am On Point 8. Twisted Science - Bleeder 9. The Sons of Silence - Vibraslap (65 Elements) 10. Boymerang - The Don

I'm really excited about this! I really dug the R&C tracks i've heard. Rest assured i'll be getting the lowdown from Sherwood next time we speak. ;) Andrew larsonaj@muohio.edu
