Ah, the Peel Sessions! A couple years ago I mentioned to Charles the fun fact that this material has been released no less than 7 times! (1) The day-glo yellow cover. This was the UK print. (2) The red picture and green picture. Canadian print. (3) The reissue with the weird red picture. (4) The Legendary Manchester Wire bootleg, with the green cover. (5) The grey cassette with the 1st Peel session only. (6) Coatings, which has the last Peel session. (7) A grey album with Wire written in this weird snake-like script. I saw this album once and didn't buy it; I think it only has the 1st Peel session (it might be the vinyl version on #5). All of these album covers, except #7, are on the Wire Page.

Hello all, I was just at the Metro on February 29th to see Apollo440, good show btw, and I can concur that the Metro's location near Wrigley Field makes it one of the safest neighborhoods in the city. It's proximity to Wrigley Field also brings up another important issue... parking. The parking restrictions in that area are second only to the Loop area. There are meters on the streets, but I believe that they are in effect 24/7 and have a 2 hour limit, which doesn't make them condusive for the concert. The good news is that Chicago's minor league baseball team, your 6th place Chicago Cubs, are playing a DAY game that day. If they were playing a night game, parking would be like "split-crotch panties on the planet Algol... virtually unobtainable". There are several parking lots in the area. Has anyone set a time or place for a pre-show get together? Considering the late time of the show, 10:00pm, getting together for a bite to eat might be a better idea... Being a suburbanite, and a Chicago White Sox fan, I don't have a good knowledge of places near the Metro... any suggestions? Thanks, Ray Ciscon Remote Office LAN/WAN Support Manager Comark, Inc.

Pizza is an excellent idea, especially since Chicago is the pizza capital of the known universe! May I suggest the following location: Giordano's Pizza 1040 West Belmont Chicago, IL The Good News: They serve great pizza and other Italian food, including salads for any vegan's out there. Drinks are available. The Bad News: They're a bit less than a mile from the Metro, which may be a bit too far to walk for some of us. Other Items: If the walk is too far from Giordano's, I'd be willing to use my 'Battle Bus' (aka my Dodge Grand Caravan mini-van), to convoy people to the Metro after dinner/drinks. It can easily hold 6 people, and I can always make multiple trips if necessary. Giordano's is a local chain of Pizza restaurants that serve an excellent thin or deep dish pizza. I believe that the original Giordano's on 63rd Street (down on the South Side), is where 'deep dish' pizza was invented. I think this would be a wonderful opportunity for Chicago area list-members, and there are quite a few of us, to get together F2F before the show. Because of the late hour of the show, and the fact that many of us will be going to work the next day, makes an after show meeting implausible. If enough of us decide on this course of action, I'll make reservations to ensure a spot at Giordano's. We've got plenty of time, so think it over.
