BOC, BRAIN: Les Vegas

[Jonathan Jarrett]

        Dear All,
                  some advice, if I can ask you for it? I was perusing the
Cellsum webpage the day before yesterday because I still don't have _Piece
of Work_ and was planning to assemble an order of that and a couple of
other things. Now I discover their prices have gone up rather, so I'll be
restrained (stoppit) and only get one thing besides that, but what? I was
planning to make it _Solid Citizens_ but in the time I've been meaning to
do this _To Helen With Love_ has also emerged (yes, my organisation is not
great, I know). And more importantly for this message, _Fool's Gold_ by
Les Vegas, the boy Braunstein of the original SWU. On closer inspection
this doesn't seem to have any SWU tracks on it per se, but there are
several tracks which feature Donald Roeser and/or Al Bouchard at various
points in Braunstein's career, from 1972 to not quite sure when, and one
also with John Trivers for an interesting BOC-connected line-up. It's also
marked as "limited".

        So, what I wonder is, given that the man is inclined to use the
word "retrospectacle" and that his stage name suggests he is almost
utterly without discernment :-) has anyone else picked this up and can
anyone tell me whether it's any good? It surely has Kollector's value, but
is it a Thanksgiving present or something I actually want? Yours, grateful
for data,
          Jon
