ARGH!! Well, Tower has been busy phasing out their CD single stock. Mtn View Tower "[doesn't] carry them any more" and SJ "[has] a few left" so obviously they're not getting any new releases. Sadly, they don't have the 12" import yet either, but with people like us continually checking, maybe they'll get the idea. I've got a slightly better lead on finding the CD single. Neither Compact Disc Warehouse (Sunnyvale) nor Streelight (San Jose) have them yet but both were hopeful (checking back in next week). I've been phoning around SF trying to see if *anyone* has it in yet. Only one I found is Reckless Records of London (Haight@Masonic) which has the 12" and is sold out of the CD single. They say they'll be getting more in next week. To find this stuff you have to hit stores that *really* specialize in imports. My impression of Tower & Star is that they carry some import stock, but it's\ updated infrequently and is useless for finding just-released stuff. Scott Lindsey |"Cold and misty morning.

OK, not exactly Bay Area, but... we have a local CD store that does in fact carry a lot of imports, and the owner mentioned to me a few weeks ago that he carry ALL the Kate paraphenelia he can get his hands on. Singles, bootlegs whatever... (as long as it's on CD)- He had the interview CD on his shelf at the time. As I've been on vacation, and am catching up on news, I haven't had a chance to stop in and see if he's got anything yet (but I did catch TSW on KITS' import show last night; Steve Masters commenting something like "Here's the most beautiful cut from tonight's program"...). The store is called 21st Century Compact Disc, on Soquel Ave., in Santa Cruz. (408) 426-5480 -- James C.
