rob,you must have missed the posts when they were first released.
there was the electronic equivalent of dancing in the streets,if i remember correctly.
i havent found these in the stores yet,so haven't picked them up.and when i do,
it will probably take  a month for them to find their way to my stereo,simply
because ive heard them so many times.(i do plan to buy them,even tho' ive got both on
vinyl and tape,and have paid to have one of them archived on cd-r.)

next- i would like to suggest you spent the next four years hammering the band and
management to stop whining<;)> about the bootleggers,and start releasing some of the
live stuff to you.do it in a series,with limited quantities,and they will sell.
the only things NOT in my collection,are the things im likely never going to see.
so all that leaves is bootlegs,and if im going to buy those,why shouldnt it be
hw and hw relations making the money?
thank you for your efforts,they >are< appreciated.
