I have a circa-1990 CD single that has both sides of the single. (The other is "Pictures On My Wall.") I imagine it's close to as rare as the vinyl, though.

Turns out that was actually the Crucial Three, and they stayed together for about six weeks without, apparently, recording anything. Details at AllMusic.com. What a six weeks that must have been... Usted no puede imaginarse csmo es difmcilmente al pedido por correo cincuenta linternas rojas cuando usted es un pato sin la direccisn numirica de la calle, Andy Q: What was the last good movie you saw? A: "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." [Laughs.] I'd rather watch 15 Harry Potter movies than "The Hours." Q: Tell me about "The Hours." A: I think the basic premise of "The Hours" is that modernism is responsible for AIDS. [Laughs] It's a chain of unhappy women leading to a guy who throws himself out the window, all with the link of "Mrs. Dalloway." Virginia Woolf walking into the river leads to him throwing himself out the window. Any movie that opens with a woman walking into a stream with rocks in her pocket is not my kind of movie. And it all seems to be this morass of psychological opacity and sexual ambiguity and unhappiness. It's the most morose movie I've seen in a long time. Nobody knows anything, everything is lost, everything is despair, everything is unhappiness and water's rushing over your head. Not that there's not tragedy in life. But if I'm going to watch a tragedy I'll watch David Lean, you know. I'll watch "Doctor Zhivago" if I want to cry. At least that's a clean cry. - --Helen Knode, film critic and author of the recently-published novel THE TICKET OUT, from an interview by Barbara O'Dair at http://www.salon.com/books/int/2003/04/02/knode/ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 5 Apr 2003 23:58:44 +0100 From: "....signed md" Subject: Re: [loud-fans] ...so I finally figured it out...
