Thanks for keeping us informed. I managed to get one of my friends in Chicago to pick up the CD plus bonus. Yeah...we all have the album about three or four times now. It's worth it! How many of us have several pressings of the other Scritti albums? Too many of us, I imagine. Anyway, thanks for keeping us up to date. Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to see Green and co. on this tour. I'm in NYC now, but will be writing and working on a couple album projects in LA next week when they are in town. Guess it wasn't meant to be this time. Maybe they'll make a return visit? Hope we don't have to wait another 25 years! David,

No. The guy (or girl) looked around and said 'I guess i could give it to you'. And did. Happy. they will go to the gig, too, I believe. Just thought you'd like to know. little epiphanies

Don't know how many they had. The staff there seemed to think that they hadn't arrived yet, helpful as usual. Disappointing, but itunes availability is something at least.

Lots of blank stares from the sales staff when asked about it, and helpful advice along the lines of 'the other store's probably doing this promotion, not us'... but no CD.

As I mentioned earlier, we do hope to have these tracks up on iTunes after the tour, which I know is not exactly the same. If we come up with another bright idea for how to get these to people, we'll let you know...

(Import, domestic... domestic again!) Didn't bother me, though... I got it signed after the Roxy gig! (And touring band member Dave oogled it enviously...) Definitely, it should be for sale along with the other merch at the tour... $5 for a three track CD would be a BARGAIN.
