	Actually that was on Flickknife too, wasn't it? I never got the 
deal worked out there but if one Flickknife release, among many others 
not ICU, can come out on CD on Cherry Red why shouldn't another? I hope, 
at least, because Trev or no Trev that's also a fine album and I live in 
fear of wearing out my vinyl (bought from some kind soul on this list a 
long time ago--but still looking for _Ersatz_ of course).

> *Did Steve ever get located???*

	I'm pretty sure he's still where he was but just minding his 
own. I see the download tracks have now been taken off even 
http://www.deadfred.co.uk and only the unconnected links remain. When I 
last heard from him, and this was years ago now when ICU Mk, er, 5 I 
suppose, were still gigging with him on board, the move to `Fred's' site 
had been because Nik was planning CD-R re-releases of all the albums 
and thought the free downloads would stop people wanting them. Now since 
then we have three relatively fresh releases of ICU albums on CD, even 
if one of them is _New Anatomy_ (is the Spectrum program still on the 
CD? I want to know), and a CD copy of _Passout_ isn't so very hard to 
find for the dedicated Kollector (i. e. I have one and I hardly go to 
great lengths to get these things). So _Presidents Tapes_ is looking 
rather lonely and given that people seem to be considering these Werkz 
viable property that Steve must not give away, I guess it's in 
*someone's* sights...

	Why does it have to be yours, Mike? Steve's still got a stack of 
mint 7" copies to give away, as I understand it, that's how I got mine 
anyway, and I assume that he still has the masters too because he's like 
that. But he would have to be *involved* by that same *someone*. And as 
ever the problem with these deals seems to be people talking to each 
other nicely, yours,
