Re: New HOL in Amherst MA!

[Louisa Ellen Shein <leshein@student.umass.edu>]

I've been lurking for a while (years actually) and have lots to say 
about everything (Kate related), but for now I'll just share my really 
exciting news!  I found the new EMI centenary HOL release at Newberry 
Comics out here in Amherst MA!  I think it was the only copy they had, 
but perhaps other Newberry Comics have them.  I saw it just sitting 
there with all of the usuals, snatched it up and bought it before I had 
realized what happened. 
	 I always find these things hard to compare, but the re-release sounds 
great to me, really clear, separate moments and voices emerging in ways 
that just make it even more powerful, if that's possible. I listened to 
it straight through (of course) and it was the closest thing to 
listening to it for the first time that I'll probably ever experience 
(since the first time, three years ago... I was a late bloomer, but 
actually a young one since I'm only twenty one.:)  And its a special 
treat for me that it has "My Lagan Love" on it, since that was the one 
song I had never ever heard...(So now i guess I've heard everything... 
until the next album).
	  - Hope others have found or find this re-release - and hope you enjoy 
it as much as I am!   - louisa
