I'd highly recommend the posthumous _The Sound Of Philadelphia_ CD collection (UK/Rev-Ola 14/'93) compiling the first four singles plus a considerable number of demos, radio session tracks and outtakes from the early years (1982-86) ... 23 tunes totalling almost 80 minutes. Failing that, you may be able to find the _Boxed_ LP/CD, which is a compilation of the early singles only. Other than that ... well, Alistair and Tim are watching. §;^D "The Point Of Perfection" -> "Hip Hip" §;^D Andreas The rain it raineth on the just And also on the unjust fella But more upon the just because The unjust steals the just's umbrella (Charles Baron Bowen) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

unreservedly recommended by me too. this has everything you'll ever need.

two versions of this that i'm aware of, one in green and peach (?) one in pink and dark purple, the pink one being a re-issue. i'm sure either are kicking around bargain bins and charity shops looking sulky and magnificent even as i type this.

watching you just neatly double track name dropping giving the Point Of Perfection as being Hip Hip and probably agreeing wholeheartedly, although i have to say i am very partial to If It Rains. Did that sentence make any sense at all? As for vinyl, well i'm still partial to it but with new releases i can't say i bother too much. i do like the pause on the Sinister CD between sides one and two though... Tim and i at least know of someone who used to programme in a pause on his cd player to simulate turning the record over... Not that's excessive, surely? not getting into the name-slugging tomfoolery at all, except to say that to all who might have birthdays soon, or later, we love you all and wish you all those birthday wishes and please now no-one ever call me a sod. even if i quite clearly am one. keep the faith, the duke ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
