I was uncomfortable mentioning "Come To The Sunshine" prior to
this post, as it likely would appear to be self-serving.
Now that Pandora's Box has been opened, I can tell you that it
is a beautifully put together package, with wonderful liner
notes, great graphic design, interesting photos and some very
excellent material.
I particularly recommend one by The Other Voices, called "Hung
Up On Love," which was written by S'Pop member Paul Levinson,
who was the moving force behind that group. The cut was produced
by an "interesting character" named Michael Rashkow and Ellie
Greenwich. The lead vocal, unfortunately, is also done by that
interesting character. Why? Well, a few reasons - none of them
justifiable. Best thing about it is the Hutch Davie chart - oh,
yes, and the intro.
Rhino Handmade produces these things in numbered, limited editions
of 7,500 pieces; they cost $20. The graphics are worth the price;
you can judge the music.
I do not know what their plans are, but the Rhino site has a lot
of info.
Di la,
Rashkovsky

It was Liz Phair. Her third LP, "Whitechocolatespace,"
had three really catchy tunes. One of the few newer
artists that I can actually listen to these days.

Me, previously:

More innocent faulty-memory problems. Others were right--I'm confusing
the poster that came in the Dylan album (and I was wrong about it being
Peter Max, too!) with the "Dylan's roots" poster from Eye.
Makes me wonder how many of my other memories are bogus....
