Sonic Youth White Album...

[hofmann@nrl-css.arpa (James B. Hofmann)]

Apparently, Folks, it's all talk and no do so you may as just well send
away for the Pussy Galore cassette of Exile On Main Street (no address but
it's floating around in zines and so forth).  I also heard Sonic Youth
were going to refilm "Gone With The Wind" with Thurston as Ashley, Henry
as Rhett and Lydia Lunch as Scarlett O'Hara.  I believe THAT one when I
see it.  

As for the discography, besides the Starpower 12", it looks okay.  The
cut on the Chemical Imbalance 7" is a live version (done incidentally 
at the June gig at the 9:30 club and recorded by Tom Lyle (G.I.'s) )
of "Marilyn Moore" from EVOL (which is pronounced correctly, I'm told,
as E-V-O-L).  Also, among other numerous compilations, they put "Kill
Yr Idols" on the sup-pop 100 vompilation and it sounds
like a better mastering job was done.  Also there is a early version
of "Death Valley '69" on a 7" floating around - but it's one the
band wasn't too thrilled with releasing but someone else owned the
right apparently.

As for the people who said 1986 was an un-noteworthy year for record
releases, I say you are all full of offal and haven't been listening
to a word me, John Hogge, Bill Hsu and yes, even Wicinski have been
saying.  Open your eyes - and take off your Melody Maker blinders.
