I wish they'd re-show the "appeal on behalf of people who say the wrong words". The fact that they don't is a major dish of ointment to me.

Research shows it was apparently on a (Soft boys?) rehearsal tape, but never released. It's not on any of the albums. Is this an RH original that never fully gestated? Does anyone have the rehearsal recording in question, and could provide to me? Also - I am assisting with a publication project and need a goodly number of stock photos. I have looked at many online sources, and they vary a bit in how they charge and what they offer. Can anyone make a recommendation on purchasing stock photos? (Or getting free ones, if such a thing exists?) I can tell you more about what I'm working on if you will be so kind as to reply via my email. Many thanks. ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V18 #153 ********************************
