FOETUS DISCOGRAPHY v4 (as of January 1993)
==========================================

A discography of ALL (as far as I know) releases from Jim Thirlwell under his
many variations on the Foetus name as well as other projects.  I haven't
included releases on which he is merely the producer since there are too
many to list, and I don't know half of them anyway!  I also haven't included
"guest appearances" for the same reasons.  In most cases, I have listed the
label(s) and catalogue number(s) for the version(s) of the release that I own
or know about, so this information may vary in other countries.  As well,
cassette versions of the releases are ignored on this list but may exist.
Releases are listed in (approximate) chronological order.

LABELS LEGEND:   S-I  -  Self Immolation (England)
                 S-B  -  Some Bizarre (England)
                 PVC  -  PVC/Passport (USA)
                 HOM  -  Homestead (USA)
                 U-D  -  United Dairies (England)
                 WAX  -  Wax Trax! (USA)
                 422  -  K.422 (England)
                 CAP  -  Capitol/EMI (Canada)
                 WID  -  Widowspeak (USA)
                 B-C  -  Big Cat (England)

NO COWBOYS
   No Cowboys                    1980      LP       (???)       reSPECt1

   *** Thirlwell is a relatively minor member of this group, which
   *** pre-dates all of his Foetus material.  This release is little
   *** more than a curiousity, since it's really not very good (IMHO).
