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.
