If you know where Beckie Bell (STEPPIN' OUT TONIGHT) is,
let her call her agency, they're trying to reach her,
to no avail so far; she is probably staying with some
friends in Detroit.  She has a hit in the Netherlands and
the radio people want to talk to her.

Was "Pigus Drunkus Maximus" by Top Jimmy & the Rhythm Pigs ever released on
CD in the US, or anywhere else in the world?  If so, where?  Is it still
available?  If there is no CD, anyone have the vinyl for sale?

It's a good album, certainly better than a lot of the dreck out nowadays.
[For example, the highly-hyped Matthew Sweet album.  Awaiting the flames.]
Lindsey is a little less experimental on "Out Of The Cradle" than he was on
"Go Insane", meaning that the newer album is more "even" at the expense of the
high peaks (and low valleys) that speckle his earlier work.  The first half
of OOTC is better than the second.  My opinion is that Lindsey wasn't really
ever meant to sing a ballad, and I wish he'd stop trying, because his ballads
are (inevitably) pretentious, overblown marathons that sound like songs from
bad musical theater.  As you might guess, he has a ballad in the second half of
OOTC, hence my feelings.  What he excels at are peppy little pop songs where
his gift for matching a good riff with insidiously catchy lyrics stands out.
The first single, "Wrong", is a good example of this, but there are better
ones on this album: "Don't Look Down", "Countdown", "Soul Drifter", "You Do Or
You Don't", and "Doing What I Can".  He also provides some nice guitar
instrumental intros to a couple of the songs, and his playing throughout is
quite good.  So, I unreservedly recommend the album, but be advised that
"Street Of Dreams", which I sort of alluded to above, may challenge your
patience.  The only significant dip on a very good album.

Nop, and the album reviewer in Melody Maker was A)v surprsised, and B)couldn't
find out either.

She really liked the album - I think it has the B52s magic about 2/3rds of the
time but it didn't quite sustain in the way Cosmic Thing did. But maybe, like
Cosmic Thing, I need to give it a few more listens to fully appreciate it. The
single is superb - of that I have no doubts.

But don't expect it to be the same as before - how could it be with the death of
one member and the departure of his sister? I don't think Ricky Wilson was as
good a singer in any case, though I do like the early sound.

It's a mistake to expect bands to stay the same - they must evolve to maintain
the creativity and innovation.

What apparently happened here is that the "boys of honor" version was the
original, up to the civil war. The song was popular with the Southern
troups, so the Northern troups started to satirize it:

	Johnson boys, raised in the canebreak
	Never learned how to court a maid
	Turn their backs & hide their faces
	Sight of a pretty girl makes them afraid

etc. I've seen both versions in songbooks; the satire version is much
more fun to sing. [Sorry I can't cite a source for this info. I came
across it somewhere a few years ago when I was trying to find the funny
words and could only seem to locate the straight versions]

I liked what I heard, but I have yet to hear them on ANY US radio station,

well, after re-issuing and  re-re-issuing every stone roses single on
 silvertone(practically), and then sellingthem individually as a box
 set for 65$, silvertone has issued "turned to stone".

it's a b-side compilation, with long versions of "one love", "fools

so it's something to tide everyone over until we find out that

There are three very big record stores in central London. The above
mentioned Virgin is called the "Megastore", and is right on the corner
of Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road. As Dave says, right next to
Tottenham Court Road tube station.

After leaving the Megastore, walk down Oxford Street towards Oxford Circus.
Just before you get to Oxford Circus (about a 5 minute walk), the HMV Shop
is on your right. You can't miss the large blue and pink sign. Nearest tube
station is Oxford Circus.

Finally, after leaving the HMV Shop, continue on to Oxford Circus (about
another 100 yards), then turn left down Regent Street. Another 5-10 minute
walk gets you to Piccadilly Circus, where you will find Tower Records.
Nearest tube station is Piccadilly Circus (indeed, Tower even has a shop
entrance inside the station!).

It is worth visting all three since (although there is of course a large
overlap in their mainstream stocks) it is difficult to predict which one(s)
might have some of the more obscure stuff.

Tonight I picked up a curiosity:

"The Very Best of Country Banjo"
United Artists UALA 411-E
(c) 1975.

This album came out in UA's series of cheap oldies reissues. Anyway, what's
curious about it is that there are a few artists on this album that I
didn't think recorded any tracks for UA/Imperial/etc. (the UA series
of labels). These include tracks by David Lindley, Mason Williams,
and Jim (nee Roger) McGuinn.

Of particular note is a great original banjo tune by David Lindley,
"The Johnson Boys". Does anyone know what the source of this stuff is?
(The Jim McGuinn tune is "Banjo Cantata", Mason Williams does "Whistle
While You Work", David Lindley also contributes "Clinch Mountain Backstep";
other tracks are by Jim Helms, Billy Cheatwood, Mike Seeger, Dick Rosmini,
Billy Faier, Joe Maphis & Dick Weissman).

Locally it's $16 for both together in the same package.  I've heard
rumor that people have also gotten copies that were just the Blue Room
single without the Towers of Dub single, but no report of cost for
them.

>* Is the version of "Towers Of Dub" on U.F.Orb the same as the one on "Blue

No.  The Blue Room single version is the "Mad Professor Remix" of Towers
of Dub, and it's quite bizarre (in a good way).

Most definitely.  The Edits of Blue Room are pretty much throwaway IMO
(though it makes it easier to find the beat/non-beat parts for mixing :-)
if you have the long version and the UFOrb album.  But the Mad Professor
Remix is pretty significantly different from (and I like it better than)
the version on the album.
