Ben brings up a point...is everyone going to wait for me to get the CD first? Because I don't mind playing guinea pig in this particular situation, especially just in case it turns out to be a one track dud and then I get to be the pariah of the mailing list (I can see my mailbox now: "...you arse hole! you made me spend $32 bucks on one ****ing song!"). But I would hope that if someone else got it first that the first thing they'd do would be to post the info to the list. Actually, this CD is apparently so old (almost three months) that CD Europe is already selling a USED copy of it! > Now, why didn't anyone comment on my Basia and Butthead mail? :) Probably because no one else understood it except for you and I. I mean, how many 40 year olds out there do you think watch Beavis and Butthead? And seeing as how you and I are apparently two of the youngest people on the list (with the noted exception of our new comrade from Japan who, I think, said that he was in high school), well, need I say more? I appreciated it, though, Ben. :) No one else might've, but I sure did! Toodles! BTW, it was Miki Howard who redid "Until You Come Back to Me," and it was, ironically, the same year Basia did her version. Howard's version was more like the original, though, if I remember correctly (slower and less dancy than Basia's version).

As for where I find this stuff, I was fortunate to grow up in the warm sunshine of California (near San Francisco) and have been collecting for numerous years (about 16 now and I'm only 34!) so a lot of people know me and thus pass on info, etc. >> I have a call in to find out about the Water Of March CD. >> I hope we are not getting screwed here! > >Instinct tells me that we, in some way, are...CD Banzai will have my >order form in hand by the end of the week so, who knows what it'll be.
