I never thought I'd get them either, and wouldn't have if it was just a case of looking for them in bricks and mortar record shops. Let the net be your friend.

In the UK you're better off with Netsounds - at least everything advertised there actually exists.

actually come to think of it, I don't think there's a proper Lilys album widely in print. I think places have overstocks of some of them, but the only lilys records that show up in most stores I go to, both online and real, are the split with Aspera (demos), the Bliss Out Ep (good, but not really satisfying any Lilys jones), and the "Selected" EP (great, but only 5 songs).
so yeah, someone go ahead and make all that old Lilys stuff available...

I'd also add to the list:
Wall of Voodoo - _Dark Continent_Oingo Boingo - The first EP. Yes. Oingo fucking Boingo.The first Bevis Frond albums that came out in the US on Restless (or was it Reckless?) and as far as i know have been OOP for awhile.
-Matt, who grew up in the 80s. Obviously.

Rollins label reissued Y a few years ago didn't it? (Infinite Zero, I think) with "beyond good and evil" as bonus. Is that OOP now?

And George G, wasn't 'Conquistador' reissued by Blue Note on CD abt 5/6 years ago, abt the same time as 'Love For Sale' and 'Unit Structures'?

All I know is I paid far too much to get that one and We Are All Prostitutes on Japanese import!
"I'm always surprised when US ILMers talk abt how diff it is to find the first This Heat alb on CD, as it seems to be widely available here in the UK (Camberwell Now recs, on the other hand...)"
I'm not in the US and I'm having trouble finding it Andrew - do you know where it's currently available (All's Well by Camberwell Now, on the other hand was recently re-released and is available on mail order from http://www.rermegacorp.com/!)

Scott 2, Scott 3, and Scott 4 should be in print here in the U.S.
Gainsbourg's Histoire de Melody Nelson too.
Also that ultra-rare record by Bohack, It Took Several Wives would be a good one too.

You can apparently still get "Y" on Japanese import for a relatively trifling £20 from http://www.101cd.com/

I remember not especially liking this, even back when I liked the Talking Heads a lot more, but I think I remember preferring the version of "Drugs" here (and also liking "Psycho Killer").

As I've said before, ad nauseum, they were a lot of fun to see live back in 1988-1991, and some of their videos are pretty good.
(As long as P-Orridge is in charge, the back catalog will be mis-managed.)
