The Church USA Dates

I live in the North of England near Manchester.
Neither HMV,Virgin nor Piccadilly Records (prog importers) have their albums.
The independant store in my hometown which is usually quite good,does not have them either nor does our own HMV.

Bah.

You wanna talk about it being hard to find Church albums?

Cut to 1988, when I must have looked for an import copy of The Blurred Crusade for nearly 5 months before I finally found a cutout cassette of it for 2 bucks. Even tried to special order it from the Tower records in downtown DC. Several months later, after the success of "Under the Milky Way", Arista rereleased the entire catalog on CD. All of that searching ended up being moot...

Almost as annoying as spending 35 bucks each for EG releases of Larks Tongues, Lizard and Starless and BB, only to have them remastered and rereleased for 15$ several months later.

P.S. I'll be at the show in Falls Church (grin), which is actually in VA and not NC.

I have been a fan of The Church over the past 20 years and have many of their CD's.  Now though, you'll have to probably get most of their stuff from CD Universe or the like.

Nah.  Actually, they have a quasi-spiritual aspect to them, but beyond that...
