[Orb Information Service (UK) postcards, typed in by Mike Brown]
[The front of each postcard contains a full-color image.  The
 Blue Pearl one is blue with white lettering and designs, the
 u.f.orb one has the cover art from the album on it (no lettering),
 and the Blue Room one has the "fractal earth balls over whirpool"
 design from the single, with the orb logo in the center.]


The Orb invite you to listen to their versions of Mother Dawn by Blue Pearl

Blue Pearl is masterminded by Youth who as you know is a long time
collaborator of Dr. Alex Paterson (Little Fluffy Clouds, Perpetual Dawn,
Majestic etc...)

Blue Pearl "Mother Dawn" The Orb Remixes will be available from 13th July
(BLRR 73)
