Good eye! Hardly anyone ever notices the gap. I started working with Laura when she was recording Pangaea. At the time, she had already released Z Therapy on CD in 1990, and previously had a little known and quite treasured cassette release that was actually a class project for a UW women's study course she had taken in, oh, 1998 or so. It was called "Menstrual Hut" and wasn't meant for release, as it was recorded in her bedroom on a boom box. When she played it for her class, they all wanted copies, so she made a handful. Then Ladyslipper, a women's music mail order catalog (www.ladyslipper.org), heard it and asked Laura to stock it with them. So she made a hundred or so cassettes, eventually sold them all and never reordered. So. When I started working with Laura, I knew about Mentstrual Hut and considered it the first release, and so Z Therapy was the second release, and Pangaea the third. I took care of getting the disc pressed and didn't check out the catalog number for Z Therapy before I bestowed OB3 on Pangaea. So it's sort of a mistake on my part, but in retrospect is also a sly reference to the rare (and impossible to get, so don't ask me, and don't lose your copy if you have one) Mentrual Hut. There you have it... Mary ------------------------------ End of octoroon-digest V5 #15 *****************************
