What are the chances Mary Lou or someone > (Rubric?) could buy the rights and give it a proper reissue. i am under the impression that mary lou is not too proud of the tape/album and so i suppose it's somewhat unlikely that there will be a reissue. i'm also not sure if there would be a market for it. i once talked to scottish band the delgados after seeing their early 7" only singles go for $15 and more on ebay. they said there would be no point to reissue them, because there would be only 50 people (apparently they even know most of them!) who are still looking for that stuff, and a reissue would be a minimum of 500. it's probably the same with "real". > > In her recent interview with Rachel, Mary Lou even talked about something > along these lines: > > MLL: "...it's so easy now, anyone can make a CD, and if you want to put it > out, there are ways to go about putting it out online." i believe she was referring to the fact that you can put out your own music that way, not somebody else's. smiles, carsten - -- http://carstenwohlfeld.de "i'm so happy i could slit my veins" (close lobsters) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 05 Mar 2001 13:56:57 -0600 From: "Jonathan Gillespie" Subject: Re: [MLL] Mary Lord "real" tape I think there would be a market for a reissue of "Real", starting with most of the people on this list. I, for one, would rather have a copy on CD than on tape, as the tape will wear out one of these days. Will a record company ever buy the rights to "Real"? Sadly, probably not unless MLL has a top 40 hit, and the biz gets in a tizzy about her. This next part is strictly my opinion. Ebay sucks. Don't buy "Real" on ebay. The person selling "Real" on Ebay is just making copy after copy and selling them for outrageous sums of money. It should be free or cost of a blank tape and shipping. My two cents worth..... Jonathan p.s. My job won't let me have the time off for SXSW, so I'm thinking about quitting that week. Anybody know of any employment opport. in Texas? hehehehehe _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 05 Mar 2001 15:20:56 -0500 From: The Sleepwalker Subject: Re: [MLL] Mary Lord "real" tape If someone can get me a good generation copy of the tape (or a CD), I'd be glad to do my best to find a way to get mp3s of it available somehow for everyone.

Anybody know of any employment opport. in Texas? good luck with the new job, jonathan...;-) i got some important exams coming during the sxsw week plus i'd have to rob a bank to pay for the flight, but i'm still considering it actually... smiles, carsten - -- http://carstenwohlfeld.de "i like hate and i hate everything else" (madder rose) ------------------------------ End of jinglejangle-digest V4 #32 *********************************
