I have this one too -- recorded in '76 in Hempstead, NY. Sound quality's decent, but at some points it sounds like the levels are too high. My copy also has a defect on the disc itself, about 30 seconds into Diamond Head, that makes that song unplayable... - --Don - -- Don Becker becker@panther.adelphi.edu http://www.adelphi.edu/don Unix System Administrator, Adelphi University "I am not anything to you.

Pain, Passion, and Perversity, served up hot and steaming via the Avalon Drive-Through Window Of The Soul. Can the Pain can any fresher than Joey Trum's tale of 'Just Another Low' heartbreak from the Windy City? And a tres-bittersweet European touch, which I know you In-Crowd Avalon sophisticates love. Who would've thought that the very first CD Dawne would ever, ever see would be 'Avalon,' and that said disc would be the soundtrack for a "totally hot" liason with An Older Man--the theme of the Last Contest, it appears--who somehow possessed the intestinal fortitude to show it to her? Ever the bi- continental, Dawne then took on an Athens taxi ride for a 'More Than This' reverie--but you may ask yourself, is More Less when delivered by way of Natalie Merchant? I must admit I thought the contest was sewn up by old-enough-to-buy-her-music- without-a-chaperone strumpet (and future Mrs. Vapor) Azile 2001--any woman who can rev the combined, firing-on-not-all-six-cylinders engines of Will, Mick and Arnie deserves, well...Something. If There IS Something, that is. But keep your garlic handy, my friends, because that dark horse with the dark red toenail polish--the Thinking Man's Anna-Nicole Smith, Colleen Matan--has just delivered us a pipe bomb: a Three-Women Spitzian fantasia chock full of implied gift-giving and death-by-scarf. The mind, of course, reels. Please, any and all stragglers--c'mon, Heather, you little glam-loving, baby- fantasizing communist--get those entries in! After all, this is The LAST CONTEST. A winner will be announced promptly in the next eighteen months.

If There IS Something, that is. I believe that would be firing-on-not-all-eight-cylinders engines...give us some credit. And, had I realized that Ms. Azile 2001 was a strumpet old enough to buy her own music, I would have emailed her privately, so please excuse me. And let me assure you there IS something she deserves, although Avalonian protocol and the laws of common decency do not allow me, at this time, to divulge the content of said SOMETHING.

Wow. This one slipped past the Vapester. The 10K Maniacs cover of "More Than This" was recorded after the departure of Natalie Merchant. This was her replacement, I think Mary Ramsey. Just as annoying if not more than the original, but now they can't write songs. Great band though.
