Elvis looks very one-of-these-things-doesn't-belong-here on the cover. It's pretty comical-- there are are three very stuffy opera-singer types on the cover, all half-smiling in a very dignified way.

It's *absolutely* worth seeing, but it lacks the tension of most of their other works (aside from, of course, "Hudsucker", which I happen to dearly love). Of course, it wasn't really supposed to be all that tense, either. I think they totally accomplished what they set out to do, and I'd probably see it again if the opportunity presented itself (Jeme?

One is the Yip Song promotional CD. This is the cardboard gatefold sleeve, featuring some illustrations by Robyn and one picture of him lying on his bed with his guitar. The tracks are: Yip Song, Live In Years, and Bright Fresh Flower. I already have one, but since they are a bit of a rarity, I thought I'd buy it for whoever needs it on the list. I'm just asking what I paid for it: $7.95, plus postage (shouldn't be more than $1 I think) Actually, I'll take a nickel if its ok with you. First come, first served. The other one is a Madonna of the Wasps promo CD. Not the cardboard sleeve one, but the skinny import CD single case one. The liner card has the tour dates for March 89. This one I'm keeping. I love the picture of the Figurehead/Madonna/Wasp. Its one of Robyn's best drawings IMHO. Well, toodle-oo.

He cackled mercilessly at me and disappeared in a cloud of Quail dust , which set off my sinus's something rotten. I went into a bizarre coughing fit which led to my getting mucus all over J Edgar s coverpiece. The swine! Nat, remain strong and we may yet overcome the misguided Quail , save him from himself and lead him back to the true path of fegdom, but we must present a united front if we are prevail. With this in mind, watch out for the secret fegcode which I will send you so you may read between the lines and decipher the cryptic Fegfriend messages I will send thee in the near future.

It's going for £6, inclusive. Interested parties mail me. This album is rarer than hen's teeth in the UK, possibly because Robyn finally let the hen out, but more likely because it was never released here. Dunno why, because it's excellent.
