"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"

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/!)

Sorry, that link s/be http://www.rermegacorp.com/

oh, climate of hunter is a good one, too.

I have a copy of 'til the band comes in from, like, nineteen ninety.

AFX- Hangable Autobulb EPs

― lou (lou), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 23:45 (twenty-three years ago)

TY for the CN info Stewart - I dunno abt that first TH alb, maybe the CD isn't as common as I thought it was, but have you tried Rough Trade or These Records or that place in Highgate or Forced Exposure or Reckless in Islington or Soho or Selectadisc or Sister Ray or Record and Tape in NHG or Camden, maybe?

― Andrew L (Andrew L), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 23:50 (twenty-three years ago)

Thanks Andrew - if I'm still drawing a blank I'll try those next time I'm in London

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 23:54 (twenty-three years ago)

stewart- these records should have it.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 5 February 2003 16:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Only Made Available, Repeat and Health & Efficiency are available according to their website. ;~(

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Wednesday, 5 February 2003 16:17 (twenty-three years ago)

email and ask abt it. I reckon they only list half the items available (and none of the stuff on second hand LP rack).

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 5 February 2003 17:05 (twenty-three years ago)

Buckley's Starsailor and Young's On the Beach should be in print.

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.

― Polo Pony, Wednesday, 5 February 2003 17:13 (twenty-three years ago)

The Scott Walker and Gainsbourg albums are pretty easily (and cheaply) available as imports.

― Amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 5 February 2003 17:22 (twenty-three years ago)

Most of the Pop Groups stuff is very hard/expensive to get. Really wish you could buy one of their records for under $100. Also Mark Stewart's solo stuff is hard to come by. As is Amon Duul(early recordings), and Disco Inferno(Though I did track down a copy of Di Go Pop). It gets expensive.
Oh, and Manuel Göttsching. After getting a store to order it for me they never called back. Still without it.

"Most of the Pop Groups stuff is very hard/expensive to get. Really wish you could buy one of their records for under $100."

Blimey Juan - I thought IIII'd paid over the odds for the ones I got, but I didn't pay anything like $100 for either of 'em!

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

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Thursday, 6 February 2003 09:22 (twenty-three years ago)

the whole Martha & The Muffins catalogue, w/ original album art.

― derrick (derrick), Thursday, 6 February 2003 10:12 (twenty-three years ago)

ClockDVA - Advantage
Virgin Prunes - If I Die I Die

― Paul (scifisoul), Thursday, 6 February 2003 13:37 (twenty-three years ago)

AMAZED that nobody's mentioned 96 Tears yet.

― Evan (Evan), Thursday, 6 February 2003 14:15 (twenty-three years ago)

If you mean ? And The Mysterians, that could be because it is available (on import at least).

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Thursday, 6 February 2003 14:52 (twenty-three years ago)

I've said it before - not being able to get stuff = classic. There are far too many records around anyway.

The Falling Joys "Wishlist"

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Thursday, 6 February 2003 15:01 (twenty-three years ago)

It is?!?! Where?!

― Evan (Evan), Thursday, 6 February 2003 15:01 (twenty-three years ago)

Some others currently annoying me with their continued absence:

Kevin Ayers - Joy Of A Toy
Delta 5 - See The Whirl
Distractions - Nobody's Perfect
Mighty Ballistics Hi-Power - Here Come The Blues
Rip Rig & Panic - Knee Deep In Hits / *anything*
The Slits - Return Of The Giant Slits

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Thursday, 6 February 2003 15:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, yeah, I forgot. What about the group New Muzik, who I enjoyed greatly? Haven't seen any on CD.

― matt riedl (veal), Thursday, 6 February 2003 15:16 (twenty-three years ago)

unfortunately, the cd stewart linked is the not so good 90's reunion gig stuff. the original ? and the Mysterians stuff is still in print via http://www.acerecords.co.uk/">Ace in the UK.

The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads

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").

― Rockist Scientist, Thursday, 6 February 2003 15:36 (twenty-three years ago)

I did mention "96 Tears" by way of saying "Cameo/Parkway owns this thread." Everything on those labels is nearly impossible to find.

― Amateurist (amateurist), Thursday, 6 February 2003 15:37 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, Psychic TV's Live at the Circus. I know they suck and all, but there's still something oddly special about this album (aside from Paula's contribution).

― Rockist Scientist, Thursday, 6 February 2003 15:38 (twenty-three years ago)

Do they suck? I like parts of Dreams Less Sweet.... (But yes, lots of PTV is OOP or available only in weird remixed versions from their dancey days. Much of what is in print is horribly mastered.)

― Amateurist (amateurist), Thursday, 6 February 2003 15:39 (twenty-three years ago)

Amateurist, not 100%, but I think most of what they put out is very bad. There are a few scattered good bits though, some pretty unusual. I say it partly to preempt others from saying it, and partly because I resent (slightly) having spent so much money on them at one time.

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.)

― Rockist Scientist, Thursday, 6 February 2003 15:55 (twenty-three years ago)

((That was an honest question, BTW, since I have just two records (which I am decidely ambivalent about, some good things and lots of dross) and was skeptical of the rest.))

Whooops. SEARCH AND DISCIPLINE: throbbing gristle, coum transmissions, psychic tv et all.">HERE.

― Rockist Scientist, Thursday, 6 February 2003 16:27 (twenty-three years ago)

I see what I did, but not sure how to get out of it.

― Rockist Scientist, Thursday, 6 February 2003 16:29 (twenty-three years ago)

"email [These Records] and ask abt [The first s/t This Heat album]."

Thanks Julio, I tried that this morning and they've just replied:

"it's currently unavailable, and has been for around three years.
the previous version (packaged in a jewel case, originally released on CD 1991)
is the only edition, sometimes it turns up on e-bay, but i wouldn't advise
buying one.

a re-mastered and re-packaged version is 'almost' ready to go into production,
and hopefully could be available soon.

we will keep you informed of availablity.

thanks for the enquiry and your interest

these"

The Feelies "The Good Earth", "Time for a Witness" & "Only Life"
Neil Young "American Stars & Bars", "Time Fades Away", & "Hawks and Doves"
Game Theory "Lolita Nation" & "Big Shot Chronicles"
The Soft Boys "Can of Bees" & "Invisible Hits"
Ornette Coleman "Science Fiction"

These are some off the top of my head. There are a few mentioned that I would second as well (Pere Ubu, This Heat, The Pop Group).

― earlnash, Thursday, 6 February 2003 16:48 (twenty-three years ago)

that's nice stewart.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Thursday, 6 February 2003 16:50 (twenty-three years ago)

"Ornette Coleman "Science Fiction""

More good news - this one was re-released a couple of years back in an extended 2-CD format as "The Complete Science Fiction Sessions"!

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Thursday, 6 February 2003 16:56 (twenty-three years ago)

all the best :zoviet*france: (esp. mohnomishe and shadow, thief of the sun), most of the first 20 Rather Interesting titles, NNCK's 'The Circle Broken' cassette, and anything else that commands upwards of $100+ on eBay.

everything released by the Vanity and Newsic/Spiral labels.

oh, and Schlammpeitziger's 'Freundlichbarracudamelodieliedgut' 2LP. 'Collected Simplesongs...' is such a poor substitute.

― summerslastsound (summerslastsound), Thursday, 6 February 2003 17:29 (twenty-three years ago)

SHADOW, THIEF OF THE SUN !!!

― Paul (scifisoul), Thursday, 6 February 2003 17:31 (twenty-three years ago)

brilliant, in'nit?

and aeons ahead of Storey's official Rapoon debut.

Lee Perry/Upsetters: Blackboard Jungle Dub

― Oops (Oops), Saturday, 8 February 2003 23:59 (twenty-three years ago)

Blackboard Jungle is compiled, along with Chapter One here.

― James Annett (jlannett), Sunday, 9 February 2003 00:49 (twenty-three years ago)

The Weirdos-Action Design EP
Bobbie Gentry-Delta Sweete, Local Gentry
The Sound of Feeling On Verve. Does anyone know anything about this? Crazy vocal jazz from two sisters, late sixties?
Runaways-all three albums
Daughters of Albion
Redd Kross-Teen Babes from Monsanto
Beyond the Valley of the Dolls soundtrack
Smashing Time soundtrack
The Swinging World of Johnny Rios and Us 4
Wayne County-Things Your Mother Never Told You

Also, I know this has been mentioned before (by Billy Dods, possibly?)--the entire Ze records catalog.

― Arthur (Arthur), Sunday, 9 February 2003 03:36 (twenty-three years ago)

All the Kitchens of Distinction albums... think they're being reissued. Anyway, they should never be out of print.

-The Smiths
-Joy Division
-My Bloody Valentine
-The Sex Pistols (easy one there)

Precious few others.

The Falling Joys "Wishlist"

Lord Custos, that just got re-mastered and re-issued here in Aus as part of a 3 album set ("Wishlist", "Psychohum" and "Aerial"). I was mega-pleased to be able to buy all three for such a low price :)

Not the original artwork or anything, though, drats.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 9 February 2003 06:02 (twenty-three years ago)

I second the Bobbie Gentry records that Arthur mentioned. I have a copy of the briefly-in-print Rev-Ola CD of Touch 'Em with Love, and the two you mention on LPs which are getting sort of beat up.

― Amateurist (amateurist), Sunday, 9 February 2003 06:10 (twenty-three years ago)

George Harrison - Cloud Nine

Only because I saw the CD used the other day and realized it

― Bobby D Gray (bedhead), Sunday, 9 February 2003 06:24 (twenty-three years ago)

Vanity Six debut. Alas it is and I can't get ahold of it (unless I pay *too* much money)

― nathalie (nathalie), Sunday, 9 February 2003 09:42 (twenty-three years ago)

Toni Basil's Word of Mouth

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Sunday, 9 February 2003 09:45 (twenty-three years ago)

For some reason Jody through my beer goggles I read that as Toni Basil's Wrath of the Math which I thought was funny enough to share.

(Good morning!)
