        Yeah, I was kind of trying to choose between sound and
collectibility :-) I know _To Helen With Love_ sounds great because Andy
Gilham's played it at me. I think I'll probably stick with my original
plan though and get _Solid Citizens_ because I've been meaning to get that
for much longer... Thanks for opinions all, yours,
