Hi Leo,
I, too, miss SecretX, sort of...
I actually bought extra copies of LIVE AT THE WALDORF back in 2003, too. I
bought them to try to get "low" numbers (since it was a limited edition)
but
realized my folly and left them sealed instead. I actually just sold one
for a
modest sum on eBay last week -- trying to get my daughter's 529 funded!

Re:
(TV) Verlaine on sale at DeepDiscount.com
Hey Philip,
You should get a cut of Tom's share of each cd.
I'm wondering if T.V. not releasing the 4th "tv"-album (or anything else)
is
because his
smoking finally caught up to him and his now serious health concerns swamp
any
plans for
releases.
See, if Ms. Secret X was still with us she would know the answers.
(Anyone see any news/reviews on that short, electric duo tour of Japan
with Ripp
last October?
Maybe he died from sushi poisoning over there? )
Just for the record [bear with me for a sec. Keith, I know your response
to this
is a hearty
"Who cares!" :>) ]
her initials are L.T. She first met Verlaine during tv's 1978 tour in
S.F.; at
the time she was
a H.S. sophomore
writing music articles for a S.F. fanzine. I tried contacting her
recently, but
her last
e-mail address is extinct.
(I know several people think she just made up all the stuff she wrote on
this
List, but I must
say I never found a
single discrepancy against what I already knew from my own
research/oppressiveness.)
RE: extra cd copies of Verlaine/Telev's work:
When they first starting coming out I bought a lot of extra copies of all
7 of
the Collectors'
Choice (CC) re-issues/remasters;
I figured it was a better investment than tax-free Municipal bond and that
by
the time my 11
yr. old nephew was applying to colleges,
I 'd be a wealthy man and coup pay his way. (And the very rare
accidentialcWrong-Mix by CC
1st solo album will allow me to move to warmer climes).
The only extra CC one I regret selling was "Live At The Waldorf" as no
more
exist.
I have a copy in very good condition of the Verlaine/P. Smith poetry
collaboration, "The
Night",
but it's not a 1st ed., signed copy, so my niece will have to pay her own
tuition.
Leo
More seriously, Philip, thanks for the feedback on my Q on digitalizing
vinyl
the other day; it
looks like I'm going to
buy a good but cheap soundcard from Joe Hartley and go the non-USB method.
"He did what we all do.
He went about his dull routine
as if all the days in the world
were still to come".

DeepDiscount has Verlaine's first two albums on CD for under
$6 right now...
great gifts for a friend for St. Patrick's Day, or something.
