Just curious...what store, where?

RhodeSongs has just been released and is gradually making its way to
record stores around the USA. Towers, Musiclands, Sam Goodys should
all be getting it in, plus others, if their distributor carries Happy.

RS has 10 album-version songs, 4 acoustic re-recordings, one cover song
and one new song. Here's the track listing:

1)  Feed The Fire (album version, from Warpaint, 1991)
2)  I Say (album version, from Equipoise, 1993)
3)  The Wretches Gone Awry (album, Rhodes I, 1986)
4)  Ode (album, Ecto, 1987)
5)  The Revelation (album, Rhodes II, 1986)
6)  Because I Learn (album, Rearmament, 1986)
7)  If So (album, Ecto)
8)  I Have A Heart (album, Rearmament)
9)  Let Me Know, Love (album, Rhodes II)
10) Temporary And Eternal (album, Equipoise)
11) Feed The Fire (acoustic guitar and voice, original version on Warpaint)
12) Save Our Souls (acoustic, original version on Equipoise) 
13) Given In (acoustic, original on Rhodes I)
14) In Hiding (acoustic, original on Warpaint)
15) Ashes To Ashes (acoustic cover of Bowie's song, never before released)
16) Summer (new song, never before released)

(The songs are not in that order on RhodeSongs)

If Americans can't find this in their local favorite record stores within
the next couple of weeks, you might ask if the store can order it for you.
It is also directly available from Aural Gratification for $13.99 + $2.00
postage & handling. (All of her albums are available from AG for the same
price, but if you order more than one CD, just add $0.50 more per extra
CD)

Anyone outside the USA will have to mail order it because she has no
international distribution yet. E-mail me for a FAQ, which has more
complete postage information for non-USA orders.

Aural Gratification
P. O. Box 380
Bearsville, NY 12409-0380

...is the address to mail order. Happy sees all the mail, so tell her
where you heard about her.

>P.S. those earlier CDs have 
>some pretty scary looking covers, what's up with that? 

:-) She painted them. She likes monsters...

If you'd like a FAQ, e-mail me. If you have any other questions, either
e-mail me or join Ecto-the mailing list (address in my .sig) and ask
away. (Jessica is the moderator Ecto Goddess Lady person)
