anybody know anything about ordering Ace records stuff to North America affordably ... the catalogue alone is 15 pounds!

Chris Barrus to the thread!

I've been picking up this stuff over the years when i come across it. No idea how to track it down now.

The Solarflares, Day's new band, have a second album out and it's a real monster. First three tracks are a high point.

A Taste Of Pink and In From The Cold just got reissued on Ace. Distribution in the states is kinda spotty, but hell I just picked up the In From The Cold reissue at Fingerprints just down the street (god I love that store)

Fritz, I'd go in this purchasing order:

The Last Fourfathers
The Wizermizerdemelza
A Taste Of Pink
In From The Cold

But you really do want all of them, along with the "Shine On Me" reunion single which is one of the best singles of the 90s. I've had very good luck with purchasing stuff from Detour Records in the UK. They've got the reissues and always get in some of the rarer stuff.

Oh, and the Solarflares have three albums out (Matt, that's the third one you've got).

I have Pop Rivets "Live in Germany '79" -- it sounds kind of like Thee Headcoats but more modish and shambolic. It's good, but not essential by any means.

4 months pass...

just scored a few Medway records used at my local shop:
Prisoners - Rare and Unissued
Delmonas - Do The Uncle Willy
Medway Powerhouse Vol 1 comp - milkshakes, prisoners, mighty caesers, daggermen, pop rivets etc.

the prisoners one's pretty up and down, as one might expect from an odds n sods collection, the delmonas is great but has a lot of stuff I have on another record...haven't heard the comp yet

Thinking of you (broken pieces) is killer garage pop. It shoulda ruled the world.

Graham Day is unstoppable. His current band the Gaolers just slay...
