What's the story behind Laurie's "United States"? I don't think it's available
on CD - is it? Is it still available on record, or is it out of print?

btw, I just got Marianne Faithful's "Blazing Away" on CD. Most of it was
pretty good, but I don't think she has the anger to pull off 'Why 'dya do it'
anymore. It was not convincing. Anyone else feel the same way?

Thanks,
