Some Bushwhacker tipped me off that somebody was talking about Foetus on
this group, so here I am...

Actually, "Rife" is fairly old now.  It's been out for seven or eight months,
I think.  There is supposed to be a new studio album under the name Foetus,
Inc.  out soon, but the owner of Wax Trax in Denver didn't know about it
yesterday and he does well at getting the imports in quickly.  The name
is allegedly "Sink," and it's rumored to be a double album.  Some of this
information comes second hand from people who've spoken to Thirlwell recently.

I believe that the version of "Hole" that you saw is the import version.  
The domestic one has the red cover (grey on the back).  The import is mostly 
white.  It doesn't come with the EP of Wash it all Off/Halo Flamin' 
Lead/etc... and as far as I know is otherwise exactly the same as the 
domestic LP.  Since you have the CD, you may not know that the domestic
"Hole" includes the EP, but doesn't list the extra songs on the jacket.  
It's certainly worth having, though all of the extra songs come from two 
earlier singles which are still in print as imports (Wash/Slog and Finely 
Honed Machine).
