Well, so far I've received a gratifying 21 messages expressing interest
in the lyrics booklets for the "B-sides" disks in the Boxed Set. So
inspired, and with the great assistance of Jorn Barger (who kindly
provided the lyrics along with some of IED's annotations), I have made
an initial layout of booklet, and hope to have the first real draft in
the next week or so.
A clarification: I _will_ be placing the Encapsulated PostScript (EPS)
file onto gaffa.mit.edu (our fateful-er-faithful host and archive
machine) for public FTP accesss; those of you of a technical bend can
download and print your own booklets. I will also be making available
complete booklets (maybe with glossy covers) -- I see no need at this
point for any reimbursement beyond that for postage. Once I get an
idea how much the booklets weigh, those who choose can send me a
S.A.S.E. or something...
I still don't have a boxed set myself ;-< Is the person who was
selling them for $100 US still in the market? (Sadly, the cheap
Canadian mail order places I've tried are all out..) Is the survey on
prices done yet? Am I desperate? (yep.) Am I going to pay $200 at a
local store (nope.)
I trust yalls December is being magic again... o<|:-{)

If you will do this, could you mail me (I unfortunately don't get to read gaffa as often as I would like).

John M. Relph says: > Since it's been a while and nobody has come forth with a CD booklet > for _This Woman's Work_, I have taken it upon myself to make one. !!!! well, this is a bit awkward. i *have* actually come up with a booklet -- two, in fact, with a dozen odd digitized photos, and many, many hours of checking lyrics against the recordings. so, where is this book? well, i have been trying to get it rendered on a real postscript typesetter and offset printed. unfortunately, the estimates have been remarkably high. the reproductions have to be of a fairly high quality -- you need to use little tiny letters to fit the lyrics, even with just one song per page. i was also going to put the postscript files into the archives, but there are problems with the fonts i used: i need to make a "Times" version... apologies to all who have been patiently waiting for the booklets, but it does seem a bit redundant to begin another set now. As usual, i am insanely busy (and will be out of town for a few days), but if John (and anyone else) would like to email me at the address below, we can try to work something out. belatedly footah, -greg -- gb10@gte.com -- "Please be kind to my mistakes."
