Could someone please fill me in on the details of His Name is Alive's "King
Of Sweet"? How rare is it, how much does it sell for? I've seen 'limitied
to 2000 copies' printed on it, is this accurate? All information ever so
greatly appreciated. Thanks much.

howdy tony,
actually, the 'chains changed' ep was released on cd at one point,
on a japanese compilation disc called 87, that contained five
different (full) ep's by 4ad bands, those bands being throwing
muses, the wolfgang press (big sex ep), a.r. kane (lolita ep), marrs
(pump up the volume ep) & frazier chorus (sloppy heart ep).
although i haven't seen the japanese cd since i bought it back in 88
i still see the vinyl of 'chains changed' every so often at used
records stores (here in yucky pittsburgh.) perhaps the reason i
still see it is that people don't know what decent music is (the
radio stations all blow here.) god knows when i lived in la a few
years back it was getting pretty tough finding it, however.
sorry, no idea how many were pressed.
hope you find it. if you exhaust your other options then let me know
and i'll try to find you one here.
peace love and squalor,
K-

I was looking through the 4AD catalogue (valid to June 1994) and I saw something
that sorta confused me. I'm sure this query will make me look a tad retarded, be
ause
I'm sure the answer is obvious. Blue Bell Knoll is listed as having 4 formats vi
, CD,
MC , LP and D. What is this D? It is the only offering in the whole catalogue
having this format.
Put me out of my misery....

or, for those of you who like actual words, Industrial.
anyone wanna give me some info on hate dept., that is....if you have
any info? i saw them play last week under rather extreme, inebriated
conditions but my senses were not so dull as to be ignorant towards the
cacophony that surrounded my poor li'l eardrums. i really dug what they
did, daddy-o. my friend happens to know a bandmember, but she also
happens to not know a darn thing about what they have available and
so forth....which is unfortunate for me. had the tequila worn off earlier,
i would have asked said band-dude...but all i could manage was a sly
grin and a small wave "hi".
in any event, i gave up on most industrial musical musings awhile ago
{forever giving special exception to skinny puppy, and the twisted
mass acception phenomena known as trent reznor}, but i'd like to give
hate dept. a spin on the cd player. any band that can do a depeche
song & make me laugh at the catty delivery of the cheesy intro vox to
master & servant is worth a shot...
friendship bracelets,
kelli-jeanne
PS - to those of you awaiting response mail from me, repeat to
yourself..."patience is a virtue". i've got 3 months worth of
e-mail and other odds & ends awaiting download time. i'm sifting,
ever so slowly, through the wordy sludge and i will get to
everything soon...

I believe the chains changed ep appears on a japanese
cd together with two other eps originally released by
4AD. If you are a completist you have to get The Fat
Skier on vinyl because the B-side (a long version of Soul
Soldier) does not appear on any CD I know of.

Add the thirth Tindersticks album ( autumn),Scheer's debut (March),

release that album;it should have been out in June '95) and some
other stuff I can't think about now or I don't know yet and this

Not so sure they're randomized so much as the Cocteaus repeatedly steal
song titles from any of their other songs. You know how there's always one
fan of any group who insists on collating and documenting all the etched
messages on vinyl run-off grooves. Well, there must be a Cocteaus fan
who's made a list of all the song, EP and LP titles nicked from other
Cocteau song lyrics!

I have to correct myself here....The first Creation album did not include
the original version of Shine On. That was included on the German
Creation singles compilation.
Of course, there was also a free 7" included with initial copies of
this creation LP that included "Shine On (Demo Version)"
Confused yet? :)
House of Love - self/titled Creation album
(w/Christine, Love In A Car)
Great indie pop! Lots of youth and emotion, and
some great songwriting. Nice 2nd guitar from
Terry Bickers.

Gack! I leave for the weekend and suddenly a thread about my favorite
band pops up. Hope everyone's not too tired of discussing this. There's
some confusion about their albums that I hope I can clear up...they had
six proper albums. I have an extremely exhaustive discography that
I can mail to anyone who's interested.
In addition to these albums, they also had many additional songs
and b-sides that didn't get collected...
The videos I know of are; "Shine On" (original), "Christine",
"I Don't Know Why I Love You", "Beatles and the Stones", "Feel"
"You Don't Understand". I'm sure there are more.
BTW, the official reason for the break up was that Pete Evans,
the drummer was leaving the music biz. I still haven't heard anything
from Guy's project "The Madonnas".
House of Love - self/titled Creation album
(w/original Shine On, Christine, Love In A Car)
Great indie pop! Lots of youth and emotion, and
some great songwriting. Nice 2nd guitar from
Terry Bickers.
House of Love - self-titled (Creation singles compilation)-German only release
(w/early Creation singles/b-sides, 2 unreleased songs)
Less polished indie pop, but still great. This
has the two "lost" b-sides from what was intended to
be their 5th Creation single "Safe", but was later
shelved.
House of Love - self/titled 1st Fontana album (Butterfly cover)
(w/Shine On ^2, I Don't Know Why I Love You, Beatles
and the Stones)
This is the classic House of Love album, IMHO.
It's ultra-produced and has my favorite drum-sound
on it "Shake and Crawl". This was Guy's pinnacle as
a lyricist.
House of Love - self-titled (Spy in the House of Love cover)
(lots and lots of b-sides, outtakes, mostly re-recorded)
Not a bad collection of b-sides, but a bit more uneven.
House of Love - self-titled (Babe Rainbow cover)
(w/Feel, Crush Me)
This one is as highly produced as the Butterfly album,
but they went for a more organic, 60's-retro feel.
Overall the songs are quite good, but some are a
bit overindulgent.
House of Love - Audience with the Mind
Supposedly recorded in 3 weeks, like their debut
album. It features the main trio of Guy, Chris
and Pete Evans with an occasional guest guitarist.
I believe this album was knocked out quickly to
fulfill their commitment to Fontana, and it shows.
Also has a song sung by Chris (the bass player) which
is not very good.

The D-format is a DAT-tape of the Blue Bell Knoll album.

It's the code for a DCC - Digital Compact Cassette...I much prefer MiniDisc
myself, but I think both formats are pretty much dead at this point...

Wait a minute... Blue Bell Knoll is available in DAT-format, listed as CAD
807 T on the package and as CAD T 807 CD in the catalogue. This is not a DCC.
Normally the D stands for limited edition. There's not a CAD D 807 listed.
I do remember reading somewhere Blue Bell Knoll LP initially was released in a
gatefold sleeve, though it carried the same CAD 807 number.
Can anybody confirm this? Frank?
Cheerio,

It was release on the 1987 Japanese 12" compilation on CD. It took me 3
years to track down a copy (courtesy of another list member!).

To tell the truth, I at first hated King but eventually came to find it
highly listenable. With that, however, came the realization that it is
intensely depressing, especially in its more 'upbeat' moments. None of
this influences my placing it on my disappointing list, tho. I found it
so basically because it lacked points of brilliance and cleverness. All
stylistic quirks accepted, it's still heavy on the cheezy and predictable
bits and seems plastic in places. I also found it irritating that the had
taken what was essentially a solo project and turned it into a big
kollektiv a la The Sisters of Mercy. The music was more alive and more
solid and self-consistant when she wrote alone. I'll grant you it sure as
hell doesn't belong on the same list as Bel Air and Bleak, but neither
perhaps does Tri Repetae. Part of disappointment is how much you liked
the band to begin with.
