When I was at Tower in San Diego (the one on Sports Arena) this summer
there was a Diamanda Galas CD set that I really regret not getting -- it
was a red box with the names of her three albums on it ("You Must Be
Certain of the Devil", "Plague Mass", and "Secrets of the Pit" I think?)
so I assume that it had all three albums in there.  It cost under $40. 
Should I have grabbed this, and if so, is it still floating around out
there?  The first thing I ever heard by her was "Let My People Go" on the
Mute Tonal Evidence disc and I now have to have *everything*.

Me too.  Granted, if you got "Theodore" *just* for "Be Kind To My
Mistakes" you might have been disappointed, but there's a lot of other
good stuff on there too.  And if you sent in the little survey you also
get a copy of the NEW EDGE MUZIK promo disc, which is even *better* (with
some great traxx from Fishbone, B.A.D., and Movement EX . . . ) 

FirstKate: I got "Hounds Of Love" on CD (back when the UK import version
was in the US chain stores) after |>oug's incessant preachings, and
haven't looked back.
