All these posts from Tin Tin reminded me of the other Tin Tin, though he's dropped that moniker. Cooking Vinyl (who have just signed XTC, coincidentally) are releasing "I Love My Friends" on March 30th in the U.K. The single "17" comes out two weeks before that (not the lavish three cd affair, just one). As far as recording goes, the Lilacs are purchasing a 17th century computer (Stephen's words, not mine) and some hard disk recording gear and will begin recording THE LILAC TIME '99 in the summer. Oh, and the Legacy & Jazz label (Sony) in Japan will release a reissue of "Astronauts" at mid-price with 7 or 8 extra tracks. I have more details if anyone is interested. This info comes from someone who is in touch with Stephen. Sam 'A happiness that makes you choke beyond words' - Duffy ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
