the sleeve made every one of those a financial trainwreck
Never seen an LP copy of AK79, what was it... B/W? Standard 12" jacket? A printed inner sleeve? A bound/stapled booklet? Tell me more...

Don't cha hate it when happens
yes.. good reminder to use [Preview].
One of those sold to some crazy Dutch guy for US$200 in Australia.
At the risk of sounding smug, I'm SO glad i didn't pay anything like that for mine.
S'funny how it all went around the world.
Hmm... maybe the time is right for a vinyl reissue? he says thoughtfully.

May I hilariously point out that it was actually spelt Hitler's Kock?
Thank you, I was hoping I wasn't gonna have to.

the passengers around me took seeing Kabul a thousand feet below as a sign to get out their cellphones and start calling friends on the ground.
Perhaps they were calling their friends to tell them about the crazy westerner who was giggling and bouncing in his seat with excitement.

Also the rumored lost gordons album. legend has it there was an old gordons either before of just after the gordons first album (now there is a classic nz album for sure) that the engineer accidently wiped. apparently the band under took to re record those tracks many years later in their bailterspace days. Not heard these recordings or had confirmation they exist.
Wow, exciting -- that's a new one on me! Am pretty fond of the Gordons Vol 2, as well as the Live at Taita live boot.
'Tis! The Skeptics still sound like they're from the future.
Chowder over Wisconsin wuz gonna be my rave-up rekkid; but I couldn't actually find anything coherent to write. Still sitting on it.
Also considering Bailterspace Robot World, S J Fits Melt, the first solo David Kilgour (the album that got me into Thunderclap Newman) Here Come The Cars, Verlaines Some Disenchanted Evening, Dead C Eusa Kills (remember them blowing Sonic Youth off the stage in 1993?)... and on and on and on...
What about comps. Expressway Pile=Up? (still buzzed about the time I convinced Stephen Kilroy to do 45 Degrees Below Frozen at the Wunderbar in 2001) AK79? (Simon, any progress on the debacle you outlined on the Psecret list?)
Anyone with an interest in post-punk in NZ owes it to themselves to get a look at Andrew Schmidt's new issue of Mysterex (#4).

Bevan:
I have some great psychedelic albums from the early 70s (e.g. Jessie Harper 'Shades of Midnight Sun')
Do you actually HAVE that album? cos I'm looking for someone to be my friend and rip me a copy, after having had my LP stolen a few years back.

Though it was I that Russell quoted in his Hard News: Moron y Moron piece ("either vaguely threatening or threateningly vague"), I actually have softened my opinion on Tamati Kruger in the Sunday interview.
For a start, he was probably just trying to answer as well as he could, in the face of a series of stupid questions. He might as well have said "How the hell am I supposed to answer that? Am I a soothsayer?". I mean, no possible outcome can be discounted, can it. Which is effectively what he said.
I doubt he was trying to be threatening, especially since Chaz Doherty basically answered the same questions with much more direct and moderate responses.
BTW what's with all these innocuous surnames? Doherty? Kruger? Hardly the stuff of revolutionary legend. Oh.. I answered my own question.
