I assume that everyone has picked up on the fact that Beth has left EMI and is currently pondering over a few labels?? ;)

At the risk of sending Ali into paroxysms of the heebee-jeebees, maybe she should try the Thea Gilmore approach.

Well, she started her own subscription fan-club (see her thread for details, or ask Ade...) and uses this small company for production and distribution. It seems they contract out to Universal for actual physical distribution of the music.

And I think some of us can be forgiven for not remembering the fine print in that review, since once you go to the LA Weekly review and notice their "Adult Entertainment Expo Part 2 (NSFW)" slide-show, you tend to get distracted and ultimately forget why you went to that website in the first place. Also, you'll go blind, making the optician unnecessary!

The way it is worded 'once she decides how to release it' may point to the Thea option or digital download or perhaps she will deliver them personally to each of us?? :huh2:

Might just mean whether it's as hard copy through the independents, download etc., from her website (which is getting popular these days), or ... who knows!
Went to the JobCentre today, and the Army were there going "Be the Best" ... now T-Mobile just told me I didn't have the qualifications to sell phones, Microsoft said I didn't have the qualifications to answer the phones, and the Army want to let me loose with a machine gun?

I hope whatever she does, it gets a vinyl release..my COS vinyl is quite lonely, and i'm unlikely to find any of the earlier albums at a reasonable price.

You'd be surprised! some on ebay recently haven't been too bad - what do you call reasonable?? I'll keep an eye out ;)

Um, I have about a $25 limit. That's about what most new vinyl costs in the shops here. I might've paid around $30 for Oasis' "Be Here Now" reissue, that might be my biggest purchase, honestly.

I mean, really, vinyl is the ultimate way to listen to music, but you gotta put a reasonable cap on it, considering you're buying albums you (probably) already bought on CD and know by heart. I've seen some CR reissues on ebay for around $40-50, but with shipping you're probably above 50, more if it's a UK seller. Just don't have that kind of cash these days. :(
