I think your site works good enough, fast enough although not so fast as Yahoo. It took me about 30 seconds to a minute to go into each page. For downloading (screen saver), I need 55 seconds.

One thing that really disturbs Linux users, the text on some pages seem to be overlapping to each other so it is a little bit harder to read.

I almost wonder if some of the European T&T pressings or Japanese 3" are more rare--but its just a theory. I'd bet that the UK Prime Time TV poster pack/product tie-in 45" and my Japanese Copernicus 3" are as rare if not more. I have not seen them anywhere else, with the exception of one PTTV poster pack. I take it back--you wanna know what is bloody rare? The Vokal remix of Third Time Lucky. It does exist, but barely. My holy grail? An early Japanese pressing of T&T with original Japanese cover photo, which seems to have gotten switched out with the European brown shot in subsequent pressings.

IMHO I'd say it's between the 2-CD Japan-only "Basia Xmas" set or the 45RPM single "Intro - Haunted Cocktails". Otherwise there are bootlegs, pictures, posters, sheet music, promo material like valentine packs, tour programs, shirts, and framed collectibles in recognition of 500,000 copies sold, 1 million copies sold, etc. all which are getting harder to find. Finding demo tapes would be quite rare indeed. Nathan On Mon, Jun 16, 2003 at 05:38:23PM -0500, tom,kelly&jordan wrote: > > Hi, > > Knowing that Basia's CD ESK-1276 is the rarest of them all.
