People have been talking about differences between the US and UK versions of
"Hunkpapa," but did you know there are differences among the UK versions as
well?

There are (at least) two different UK lp sleeves -- one on a rough cardboard
stock that is brown and one on a smother stock that is grey.

Just another irrelevant, anal fact from one of the more obsessive collectors
on the list.

The Sea and Cake sound like Shrimp Boat, one of their previous incarnations.

Hi,
I am new on the 4AD list.  I live in Kootenays region of British Columbia

country music (unfortunately country is the only kind available here).
Cocteau Twins, DCD, This Mortal Coil are the only cds on 4AD label that I

The cover art for Four Calendar Cafe was done by an artist named Walter Mink, I
believe.  He does children's picture puzzle books, where he assembles a collage
of objects/toys, and then the text asks you to find certain thhings in the
picture.  Given Lucy Belle's age, Liz and Robin would probably be familiar with
him.

Sorry to be nitpicky, but small photos of all 4 band members appear on the
cover of the 1st self-titled album. They're not the main focus of the design,
true, but they are there.

Also, do you count Fat Skier as an album or a single? It's a Sire release that
had v23 artwork, albeit the only one.

As for the vanity issue, I know that Kristin's not a big v23 fan, but she also
hates photo shoots. I wonder what the next Muses album will look like, now
that they're releasing it themselves. Hoping for more Shinro...

'Listen Up To Cabaret Voltaire'  is a collection of rarities for CV-die
hards only. I don't know which live CD you saw - they did at least 4: 'Hai
-Live In Japan', 'Live At The YMCA', 'Live At The Lyceum' and ;Pressure Co.
Live In Sheffield' - but neither of them is a good starting point. Better
Mecca' or 'The Crackdown'.

What I don't like about BB King's and Chuck Berry's red ES-3XX is the lack of
f-holes.  I've been seeing lots of pictures of Epiphone 335 clones lately, Noel 
asis,
Paul Weller, even George Harrison, circa Sgt. Peppers.

Cocteau Twins haven't worked with v23 since Love's Easy Tears in 1986.
Beginning with Blue Bell Knoll, v23 had no part in the artwork/graphic
design of their sleeves.  This may be attributable to 1) The fact that
the band had signed to Capitol, and perhaps Capitol didn't like v23's
perspective on album artwork, or 2) The band were sick of v23's artwork,
and felt that it didn't properly express the music it enveloped (I'm only
guessing), or something else entirely. Who knows...

As for the Four-Calendar Cafe artwork in particular, I don't know if
they've actually SAID that they had a hand in designing it; some design
firm called Lifeboat Matey did the work.  Those who hate the artwork
may find it amusing that the toilet seat in the bathroom at September
Sound is clear plastic with all those little trinkets from the album
cover suspended inside it...hehehe...

I'm really curious as to what they come up with for 'Milk and Kisses'
and the related EPs.  With everything that bands are doing with CD jewel
cases these days and with digipaks, the possibilities keep growing. I
imagine something shiny...

i personally like to see w.d. play no matter what hes doing...
unless its playing pseudo-drums in princess dragon-mom, in which
case he beats them ferociosly for 30 minutes straight.

but heres what you do:...
get _mouth by mouth_ and play all
the tracks that say "courtesy of the dirt eaters..." in small
print at the bottom in the liner notes... then you have yourself
a dirteaters set... in every ford is a good place to start to
figure their sound... warren is just the coolest to watch
play gui.. with his mint green charvel. but dirteaters
are a little more straightforward rawk (if i may be so bold)
than hnia...

so basically go see them... the dirteaters are an excellent band,
warren is way-cool to watch perform... i think you have
yourself a purty darn good night carved out...

Most of them are listed in the 2000 dollar range, but in reality you can
buy one for around 900 bucks... That or get an Epiphone, and knock off a
few hundred bucks.  Vintage guitars will ALWAYS cost more.  This place
called GUITAR CENTER has a couple of 1059 335's, going for $8000.  Yikes!

Reissue.  I'm not wealthy enough to own a vintage.  jAZZMASTERS are
indeed nice, but there are a lot of problems with them.  I don't think I
would buy one again.

Except for the gold hardware, LUCILLE is a sweet guitar.  THe closed body
is a super nice touch.   Less feedback and stuff.
I'm sure the boys and girl of SLOWDIVE (RIP) have a few 335's laying
around.

Most that I have seen are more like $700 - $900.  I've noticed that a few
seem to have different speakers... Does anyone know about this?  A few
look like they have aluminum speakers, whaile a few ohers look like they
have the standard speaker you would find in most amps.
Anyone know anything about the newer FENDER Ultimate Chorus amps?
130 watts... I played through one, but it didn't feel like it could
handle the power... It was overdriving *too* easily on the clean channel...
The guy at the store was trying to tell me how much better it was than
the ROLANDS, but I think he was just beirng a typical salesman.  ANyone

Subject: [I] Think I'm Getting the Hang of It [while] Facing the Wrong Way


I just got these two items and I think they're definately worth owning.
Here are some thoughts:

FTWW is really cool...a real digipack instead of the paper sleeve TIGTHOI
has.  A good bet for trying to get a copy is to order something from 4AD UK
mail order.  That's how I got mine.  I didn't even know about it when I
ordered, but there it was in the box anyway!

Tarnation and Mojave are great, but contrary to what some have been saying
on the list, just because you like Slowdive doesn't mean you'll like Mojave.
 From the one song on FTWW (which, by the way, is the "mystery" track on
TIGTHOI), they are very country -- in a Patsy Cline/Tarnation kind of way.
Maybe that song is unrepresentative though.  I like them both a lot, but
then again I like "cool" country music -- i.e., Patsy Cline, Hank Williams
Sr., Gram Parsons -- as opposed to the shit you hear coming out of pickup
trucks with bumper stickers that say "There's only two kind of music,
country and western."

The Amps' song is really good too.  Very loud and obnoxious.  The sound is
everything you'd expect from a 4-track basement recording.

Air Miami sounds just like Unrest and Heidi Berry sound just like Heidi
Berry...unfortunately.  I just never got into either one.  They sound a bit
dull to my jaded ears.

I still haven't made up my mind about Scheer.  All I can say is that there
are different Scheer songs on each of the compilations -- "Take You
Anywhere" on FTWW and "Sometimes" on TIGTHOI."  The same goes for Air Miami.

And, for those TWP fans out there (me, and about three other people), the
remix of Christianity is pretty good, and unique to the compilations.

Guess that's it, y'all!  Oh, except for the catalog numbers:

FTWW cat. no. "FTWW 1"
TIGTHOI cat no. "PRO-CD-7625"

personally, this isn't a bad set to get for starters.  i'm sure there
are more hard-core CVs out there who might dispute this.  BUt if yer
low on cash, this is a handy collection to have.  I basically have
everything I could find by CV on disc and a lot but not all vinyl.  I

No, I'm pretty sure The Fat Skier was never released by Sire. It's
4ad-only.

Hey, I have the limited edition sweat from Ivo's head!  Itcame in a
little limited edition, numbered glass jar, designed by Gerber baby foods
and v23.  The jar fits into a nice little wood box with red limited
edition velvet lining.  When you open the box, which has 24 carrot gold
filled etchings and is encrusted with diamonds, beautiful music fills the
air, and limited edition angels dance in a pattern choreographed by v23.
I'll start bids on this limited edition (see also:limited edition) "HOLY
WATER/Blood of Christ" at $25 bucks... Any takers?

Wrong-o. My copy was released by Sire. I don't think 4AD ever released a
standalone version of it, although I've seen a 4AD release of House
Tornado and The Fat Skier on one CD.

I have a Sire cassette of The Fat Skier, it has all the tracks except Soul
Soldier on one side, with Soul Soldier as the 2nd side.  I saw quite a few of
them in Los Angeles in the late eighties, but I haven't seen them since...
I would bet they are out of print.

You are right...my oversight.  Brash (and false) statements on my part!

Something else I overlooked--their photo is on the inside of "University"...

No way!  my copy on LP says: "Art Direction: Kurt DeMunbrun (and Kav helped
too)".  I consider it to be a really long EP, I guess.  Another interesting
particularly, I don't know. It's the only one.

Someone took issue with my statement that they were into being on the cover:
 I didn't mean the FRONT cover, I just meant "somewhere on the packaging".

Being a font of second-hand information, here's what I've heard:  The absence
of a v23 cover after 1986 was a direct result of the deteriorating
relationship between the Cocteaus and 4AD.  This apparently all started with
the release of  1987's "Lonely Is An Eyesore"--seemingly revolving around the
Twins unhappiness with their equal-billing with other 4AD bands, especially
newcomers Throwing Muses.  Thereafter, their involvement with 4AD/Ivo/v23 was
(purposely) diminished.

Anyone else have a different take on this phenomenon?

Ian.

I have the 4AD version of "Skier" on vinyl. Why don't you kids try the

send 'em $2 for a stinkin' mail order catalogue and stop wandering around

Fat Skier is not v23 at all. Read your liner notes (and for those wondering
both the Sire and 4ad versions have the same crummy artwork).

I can confirm that there is no 'A kissed out float boat', instead it
is 'Aikea-Guinea'.  I have trouble believing a fan could have made
this mistake.  Could there be a legal reason for doing this?

On a directly related note, someone on this list( or perhaps the 4ad
newsgroup) had a copy to sell.  Is it still available?  If so, would
you please email me your asking price?  If email to me fails for some
reason, use '[email protected]' and include the bounced message to

        Wrong. I bought the 12" domestically (on Sire) when it first came out.
It's been unavailable Stateside for sometime now. Anyone know if it's
going to be re-issued?     Noah

        Well, I already have it, but while the subject of 4ad mail-order
catalogues is up, I sent them $3 for a catalog several weeks ago and have
since then received JACK SQUAT!!!, as they say.
