Which I now realise I do!  It's included in a compilation called
"Blonde and Beyond - the very best of Debbie Harry & Blondie" which I
haven't played for a very long time.  Dug it out last night and will
probably give it a spin tonight, it was kept out of the player last
night by Happy's "Equipoise" and Sibelius' "Kulervo".

I don't think it's changed too much.. although after about 100 arsons
one mischief night a few years back they started a watch program that
really cut things back in that area... well, it was either that or
they're running out of things to burn.. 
Camden's claims to fame now are the New Jersey State Aquarium and the
Sony Blockbuster Entertainment Center where many of the Philadelphia
area concerts are now held.. one of the main reasons I don't see big
name concerts anymore... I think the key word for anyone attending
lilith there would be... Kevlar

One of the funnier masters-freeing stories I've heard is of John Zorn's
"Cynical Hysteria Hour". It seems that Sony-Japan had printed only a few
copies of this one, considered by many to be among Zorn's best, and then
refused to either print more or let the masters go. Some years later,
there was a conflict when the Knitting Factory apparently double-booked
their space one night for both a Zorn performance and a Sony squid party.
Zorn's price for letting the squid have the space was that they give him
bakc the album. They did.

The other funniest one involves Harlan Ellison mailing a dead gopher to
his publisher... but it's kind of involved, and I don't tell it as well as
Harlan does...

Subject: Directions for Jessica Weiser's Concert on Sat. June 6th

Jessica asked me to send directions to those of you who are attending her
Strawberry Festival appearance in Indianapolis on Saturday, June 6th.......And
this is also an invitation/reminder to anyone else who is reading.

The location is Faith Presbyterian Church at the corner of 82nd Street and
Hague.  She'll be singing at approximately 1:30 (maybe a little before) and
then again around 4:00.....each time for about a half an hour.  (REMINDER:
These times are Eastern STANDARD Time......since Indiana doesn't change to
Eastern DAYLIGHT Time.)

From the freeway that circles Indianapolis (I-470?), you take I-69 North.
Then take the 82nd Street Exit and turn right (east).  You'll go past some
stores and when you see Community North Hospital, the church is just past the
hospital on the right at the corner of Hague Street.

Jessica wasn't all that sure of the directions, but this is the best she could
come up with (geography is *not* her strong point <smile>).  She asks those of
you with cameras to bring them so that you can take photos to add to her
professional portfolio.

So far the list of definite attendees for this event is JenniandSquid, Andrea
Rotter (from ITW), and me.  Tracy, I couldn't find Nicki's address, so please
forward this to her or call her, ok?

Oh, and Jess said that she probably can't go out and party after the second
show, but that maybe between performances we could all go over to Applebee's
or something for lunch/snacks/appetizers/drinks/desserts/whatever.

I hope to see lots of you there.......Jessica needs our support.......AND can
that girl *SING*!!!!  ;-)

Jill :D

Neal revealed:
<<np: Cindy Lee Berryhill - Who's Gonna Save The World (bootleg cd - hmmm, I

left comment on this out of my review of CLB's show, but I don't see that

it's that big a secret....  Since Rhino let this disc go out of print,

many people have been clammering for it.  Someone on the Jewel list even

paid $100 for it before the living room tours last year.  [yeah, I paid $4

for my copy.]  Anyway, CLB thought if people are willing to spend that

kind of money, she should do something about it.  So, she coverd up most

of the label info (a tag ripped off her pillow replaces the bar code!)....>>

     Yep! Due to Rhino's neglect of her earlier catalogue CLB has taken
matters into her own hands. Now reavailable at shows only, CLBs 
1st CD is out again in what she likes to refer to as "the signed 
limited CDR edition", hehehe.....
     Thanks to Kinkos, artwork is all intact minus the label ID & bar code 
which now reads: "Straight Outta Pompeii Records".     :-)
     $5 of every sale goes to her future legal defense fund.       Alan

Subject: Blondie and Fripp's 'Heroes'

Ectophilies,
             yep this did appear in CD format on one least one compliation
album. The one I have is 1993 Chrysalis/ERG (0946 3 21990 27) release titled
'Blondie - Blonde and Beyond' and it features Heroes as the final track. The
liner notes have a dicography and various overview of Blondie by Ira
Robbins... not a bad comp as they go.

I had kept an eye for 'Heores' for many years and dispaired that I would
ever find this wonderuful bit of Frippery on CD as all I had (very past
tense) was a crappy cassette copy from the radio.
