I stand corrected...I shall duly chew out the person who told me this mistruth. Embarrassment. I should know everything about the Woodentops! > The Housemartins' album 'London 0 Hull 4' is fantastic - buy it. I agree! Cheerful and fun and they're the Jesus & Mary Chain's least favorite group.

Of course, the imports have already >been out for months - but why should American audiences care how long they >have to wait for stuff to be released? CBS records are an EVIL CONGLOMERATE. Just try to get a copy of the Woodentops' "Giant," and chances are you won't be able to get your hands on one for love or money. I managed to get an advance cassette around the 10th of last month (it was released in the U.K. around the 1st of July), and finally got my friendly record dealer to special order me one from England after much bothering, which I got last week. Anyway, the reason it was such a fuss was that CBS has BANNED the import of this fine LP from our shores. Note that "Giant" won't be released in this country 'til later this month, if it comes out on schedule. As for The The's single, I haven't seen many copies of that floating around, and it took me about 3 weeks to get Bill Nelson's LP when that came out. These parallel import bans are SCARY, folks. They might lead to bigger-type import bans. Who needs The Wedding Present, Bogshed, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, Anna Domino, etc. when you can BUY HOMEGROWN CBS PRODUCT like Billy Joel, Michael Jackson, etc.? Besides, CBS cut off WJHU's service, and now their subsidiaries (i.e. 415, Def Jam) keep calling me and asking why we're not playing their records...BOYCOTT!!!! > Space Antlers, > -Peter E. Lee Peter, you've got amazingly excellent taste. I am sorry for the outburst, but I tend to get passionate about stuff like this. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Sue Trowbridge "Now I know how Joan of Arc felt as the flames rose to her roman nose and her walkman started to melt" - Morrissey arpa : ins_aset%jhunix.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU uucp : ...{ihnp4!whuxcc | seismo!umcp-cs | allegra!hopkins} jhunix!ins_aset (or) : ...decvax!decuac!aplvax!aplcen!jhunix!ins_aset
