I talked to Tom for a long time last night, and there are some intersting
tidbits to share:

1) The article Goldmine published was GG's first draft.  Tom made extensive
revisions that Goldmine didn't use.

2)  Tom is working on a book-length expanded version of the article with
Robert (?) Godwin, who's done similar books on Led Zep and others.  It's
due out the first half of next year and will have a section of color
illustrations.

3)  Gered Mankowitz is doing a deluxe book with _all_ the photos from the
TKI shoot, to be released officially in a box with a TKI CD.  A similar
thing was done this year with The Beatles' Revolver, but I understand it
was _very_ expensive.

4) Larry H mentioned in May that a new can was supposed to be coming with
a tee-shirt and 'new material'.  If it does make it out, the new material
should include Zaine Griff's "Flowers" and other obscure Kate BVs.

5)  The C-Side price list will finally mail next week.  It will be huge
because Tom's just bought two huge Kate collections.  It will include two
pages of Love-Hounds info.  You can request a copy from C-Side Records,
POB 8456, Clearwater Florida 34618.
