http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2504364861&ssPageName=ADME:B:LC:UK:1 n o r e s e r v e p r i c e From the Bola discography..... UNNAMED ("SHAPES") "Shapes": this mysterious limited edition 3 LP vinyl release by Skam had no name or artist associated with it, and the tracks were unnamed; the 6 tracks, one per side of vinyl, were identified only by shapes printed on the vinyl. "Shapes" is an unofficial name assigned to the release, and the tracks are generally given the unofficial names listed here. "rhombus" is sometimes referred to as "trapezoid", since it depends on how you look at the shape. There was much speculation that this album was by Bola, though this has never officially been confirmed. However, I am indebted to Cicerobuck/Arthur G. Scratch for the following information: in about 1995 or 1996, a tape from Bola was circulating, and it had these tracks on them. As Cicerobuck also points out, the fact that the track "trapezoid" is the same as the Bola track "quinss" on the Vertical Forms album is a bit of a giveaway! thanks for listening, kyf
