Tower in Chicago had about 10 of them, I asked the guy why they weren't sale priced, so he said "I'll fix that." Went over to a computer and put them on sale for $15.99 (not much but better than $18.99 Best Buy might have it for a buck less (as they do online), I'll look later today. Nice booklet, has lyrics (except for the lone cover, "Angie Baby") and tells you who sings and does solos on particular songs (as well as letting you know Terrence plays scissors and school belt on SCHOF). Interesting who they thank in the liner notes too... Glad to have a real copy of it finally. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Aug 2004 00:30:00 +0000 From: "Brendan Flynn" Subject: RE: OV: UDS Released in the USA nice find William, but i think the problem is not with compass giving the money to pay for the gigs, but whether the band can be bothered to go across to the states!! its hard enough to get them to play in the UK at the moment. brendan. >From: "William Kates" >To: oppositeview@smoe.org >Subject: OV: UDS Released in the USA >Date: Tue, 17 Aug 2004 01:24:52 -0400 > >The Uncle Devil Show achieved what CYDMG could not; it is released today in >the USA on Compass Records.
