I had a girl the shape of you, I loved her with my breath But I would hate to admit that romance likes to end in death And darkness is the shore of light, the truth is framed with lies And a girl can smile so sweetly though her mouth is stuffed with flies When you're thin and damp and shoddy Just remember that you're in a body Ooh baby, when that human music plays I dont know why ...

Let's see, since 1986 . . . My copies of _Gotta Let This Hen Out_, _Element of Light_, _Globe of Frogs_ and _Queen Elvis_ are all on vinyl, as is my "Balloon Man"/"Globe of Frogs (Electric)" single. It's all digital after that.

Wow! I've seen Robyn stuff woj hasn't! Actually, most of the used record stores in Portland, OR, have a copy of Perspex on vinyl when I go in. So, here is one eye-witness report. I've never seen Respect on vinyl, though. Of course, most of the singles for all of the above mentioned albums were released on vinyl in one form or another. > > >Are there any fine fegs with audio digitizers who are also on the tribute > >tape tree? woj is doing a web page for it and would like some sound > >samples from the _glass flesh_ album (of course we'll have to ask unca > >bobby about that...) > > damn, i keep forgetting that i have an audio digitizer for the amiga. > it hasn't been used in, um, probably five years. i wonder if it still > works.
