Incidentally, would anyone know how much a near-mint condition (played perhaps three times at most, on good turntables) copy of that single, picture sleeve and all, might be worth? Mind you, I have no intention whatsoever of selling mine or anything, but I *am* curious. -Ray R. +========================================================================+ UUCP:{uunet!ncrlnk, gatech!hubcap}!ncrcae!secola!smoak!avcom!radlein!ray FIDO:1:376/14.96, 12.3; UUCP #2: [sdcsvax nosc]!crash!pro-carolina!rayr; ARPA:crash!pro-carolina!rayr@nosc.mil; or INET:rayr@pro-carolina.cts.com What is the answer to this Question?

Yep - "Happy Christmas" is what mine says....speaking of runout grooves, does anyone have a complete list of Kate messages from runout grooves? I recall "Life is Love" (or vice-versa) from "Army Dreamers," and "Why don't we all breathe the same air - OK?" from "Breathing" (and "Happy Anniversary to the P's" [?] from "The Empty Bullring"), but what others are there? I also remember that my "Hammersmith Odeon" 7" EP *doesn't* have any messages; any reason why not? -Ray R. I think my "favorite" - if that word is appropriate, given the context - runout message is from the posthumous Joy Division "Love Will Tear Us Apart" 45/33 single: "Don't Disillusion Me" one one side, with the other reading "I Only Have Record Stores Left." +========================================================================+ UUCP:{uunet!ncrlnk, gatech!hubcap}!ncrcae!secola!smoak!avcom!radlein!ray FIDO:1:376/14.96, 12.3; UUCP #2: [sdcsvax nosc]!crash!pro-carolina!rayr; ARPA:crash!pro-carolina!rayr@nosc.mil; or INET:rayr@pro-carolina.cts.com "It's not the bullet that kills you -- it's the hole" -- Laurie Anderson DISCLAIMER: "We Only Know in Theory What We Are Doing" +========================================================================+
