I've been looking for 2 albums for the last 7 years. I used to own copies, but they were destroyed when the house I was living in burned down in 1975. The first album is called "Spirit in the Dark", by Aretha Franklin. It won a Grammy Award in the early seventies for a song called "Don't Play That Song" (!!). Apparently, it has been out of print for quite some time. I would pay a reasonable amount of money to have this album. The other album is more obscure. Electronic music or jazz buffs might be familiar with it's artists: Leonid Hambro (sp?) & Gershan Kingsley (sp?). It's called "Gershwin Goes Underground" (I think). On the (pink) cover is a drawing of George Gershwin with an "afro" hairstyle (**cringe**). It has THE best version of "Rapsody in Blue"** that I've ever heard. In my opinion, this 10++ minute piano & synthesizer piece beats the hell out of anything that Wendy Carlos or Tomita has ever cranked out. None of the orchestral versions I've heard convey the same terrific sense of humor and excitement. I would be willing to pay an unreasonable amount of money to have a CLEAN copy of this album. ** This is NOT the semi-popular 1977 disco version of "Rapsody in Blue". I'd appreciate any information that would help me find either of these two albums (especially the latter). Please send mail directly to me. Chip Hoover ...!mcnc!chip

I've been looking for a couple of records by a group called Prelude. The records are "How Long is Forever" and "Dutch Courage". These were originally released by Island records and have been out of print forever. Has anyone ever seen them? Dan Neiman ittvax!neiman

A friend of mine is looking for an apparently hard-to-find album. The name of it is something like "John Barleycorn Must Die" by old old Traffic (i think!) If you know where we can get this album reply to me by mail (or through the net). We'd really appreciate it!! kathy case western reserve university--cleveland, ohio uucp: ...!decvax!cwruecmp!tookman

Anyone out there know where I can get any old "Music Machine" ? In particular the song "Talk talk". The style is best described as "late 60's punk". Another song I can't find is the Sex Pistols' take-off on their own song "Anarchy in the UK" where the line I am an antichrist is replaced by I am a capitalist It's not on any Sex Pistols' album I've found yet...
