Are there used/rare CD stores there that could find me a copy? Try Cheapos. Enormous used CD store. Has the occasional gem ... I picked up Peter Mulvey's Goodbye Bob CD there back in February. Incidentally, Peter's latest CD, The Trouble With Poets, is a must have. Some of his best work yet. I forget the address for Cheapos, but turn left after coming out of Waterloo Records and walk about a block and a half. 9th and Lamar, possibly.

Stay tuned, k? Thanks, sweetheart! Based on Sarah (AKA Bandera199)'s advice, I did call Waterloo yesterday. They said they do get used copies from time to time, but none at present. Ditto for Antone's, to whom they referred me. No luck on eBay either. The deal with this EP is that she cut four demo songs in 1995 (three of them with Jay Farrar of Uncle Tupelo/Son Volt fame) after signing with A&M, but was then dropped from the label when her rep was herself let go. A&M subsequently refused to let her release the cuts nationally, eventually compromising by allowing a limited release -- which she could sell only in her home state of Texas. At this point, you can only find used copies. Big deal, you say? Well it just so happens that everyone seems to agree that this is by far her best work before or since. Typical quote: "...showed a greatness in her that the earlier records had only hinted at." It also helped stoke up her career by getting considerable radio play, despite the fact that no one can actually buy the damn thing anymore! Starting to get the picture? Any help would be appreciated. I do have a CD burner and would pay for ultra safe packaging (and provide great music on CD in return) should anyone be willing to lend mr their copy. I live in the Washington DC area. My apologies for the use of group bandwidth on this puppy! -Meri- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo@smoe.org with 'unsub scribe small-repairs' in the message body.
