[rec.music.gaffa] This Woman's Work and other miscellany

rlm@ms_aspen.hac.COM (R. L. McMillin) (06/01/91)

Saying "This Woman's Work" is "sadly overpriced" is an understatement!
Has anybody found a better source for this CD set?  My girlfriend and I
will be looking in Arkansas on the theory that lower prices prevail
where there is little demand...  (She grew up there.)

Also, I noticed a lack of Katemas parties in the Los Angeles area.
Since IED announced his moving to the City of Angels recently, I
wondered if perhaps there were anyone else in this area interested
in starting one (unfortunately, I don't have the space to do it).

On Vickie's report that 

> Warpaint is in the Rhino Records _store_ in LA"

Really?  How disturbing not to have found it first!  And to have
to admit to the chagrin of an non-local knowing about something
as useful as a good record store.  Additional info?

Here in LA, we are working on getting better radio stations, since
Kate airplay seems to be at record lows (so to speak).  MARS-FM just
started broadcasting (one infamous (?) Fredrick J. Snakeskin as
program director) but so far very little Kate...

Of course, I can imagine that demand is SO low there that there's not
a single copy in the whole state!  I would be delighted to be proven
wrong, though.

     Aren't CDs in Britain 12 quid?  8 CDs times 12p is 96p, or roughly $192.
Imported and sold in US for $199 makes sense, although I'm sure they're sold
for less in _some_ US locales and Canada.  The box is severely overpriced for
domestic CDs, but imports are normally $22 around here, times 8 is $176.  It
seems to make _some_ sense.  It would be nice if EMI-America would put out a
set.  Ha.
     Champaign-Urbana being such a Kate-fan town (intense sarcasm intended)
the one and only shop here that carries the Box sells it for $199, $140 for the
LP set (which sold out.)  Now the only LP set that exists in town goes for 200
bloody dollars, too.
     I'm certainly not going to pay $200 for two CDs.  On tape is fine with me.
     Thanks for the lyrics, Vickie.  I'm still Happy-less, but when Rose get's
in her CD...
     Happy KaTeing.
