Hi Leo, thanks for the update.

That is a shame about the liner notes. As I recall, the Collectors Choice reissue of Verlaine's debut included a few pages of notes from Tom himself about the recording of the album, no? I remember being stunned that Verlaine actually participated in the reissue (much as I was stunned by his participation with the Rhino reissues of MM and ADVENTURE right around the same time).

I'll skip this reissue, but glad both albums are back in print, for now. (Hmmm, maybe I can gift a copy or 2 for the holidays?)

Phil

PS: Extremely disappointed in the liner-notes (10 pages wasted) by UK journalist John Tobler. Incredibly, Tobler spends 3 pages on just Symbolist Paul Verlaine; 1 and a half pages on Velvert Turner & Hendrix!; 1 page on Johnny Thunders, Squeeze, The Dolls, Janis Ian, Shadow Morton, and Peter Perrett; and 1 and half pages on J.D. Daugherty’s 1990s session work!
