If you're really >interested in finding VP stuff, those might be the easiest places to try. I've got both of these from the days when Cleopatra was more liberal with review copies. Volume One is definitely worth having. Volume II contains what sound to me like rejects from the first release on the first CD (the eighties), with a lot of more recent bands on the second CD somewhat making up for the stuff on CD 1. Cleopatra just released a CD and a video by The Virgin Prunes "Sons Find Devils". The video is described as follows: >Live retrospective of material fr. 1981-3. Live @ Hacienda in Manchester, >conceptual promo clips fr. Vienoff & Dublin. Guest spot fr. Dave-Id. 10 trks: >"Pagan Love Song," "New Form Of Beauty," "Walls Of Jericho," more. 55 min. The cd has 14 tracks. ------------------------------ End of idealcopy-digest V1 #163 *******************************
