Subject: TWW at Price Club! (and more)
To: love-hounds@eddie.mit.edu
Just picking up some really old threads... Someone, (Ron Hill?) said last week that they saw _Two_Rooms_ at Price Club. Well, back in late December, I saw THE BOXED SET, TWW !!! At Club Price!! It was going for 99$CAN or about 85-90$US. And that was before taxes had gone from 9% to 15.56% (combined provincial and GST)! Back then, I had just became interested in KaTe, owning only TWS on cassette. When I saw the boxed set, I was interested, but I had no CD player. Within weeks, it was gone, and I haven't seen one there since. I bought a CD player this summer (from Club Price) and bought the boxed set for 140$ (grrrh plus tax, slightly used) from a record store. I haven't seen any box sets in stores since. (Well, they have it on cassettes) It seems that _Live_at_Hammersmith_, _TSW:_The_Videos_ and TSF have all been rereleased in Canada this year on videotape. I bought mine during the summer and they all say 1991 on them. On _Live.._ I noticed that the video quality was pretty bad when compared to the clips of it on TSW and TWS. They must have used an old circa 1980 duplicating master. Sigh... I want my HDTV!!! :-) The Rolling Stones have a concert film out in IMAX theatres now. How about The Ninth Wave, on IMAX! KaTe, 5 stories high! :) I'm sure there were other things I wanted to comment on, but I don't have copies of old gaffas with me. Oh well...
