Well, that kinda sucks.

Quickiki,

I bought a CD of the Passions via Gemm about 6 months ago. This was a new CD from an outfit out of Texas (I think). In any case, it was recorded from an album. Doesn't sound too bad, though I'm really into vinyl -- and a lot of it direct from the salvation army -- so to be honest I've kinda stopped hearing the hiss and pops I think.

But let me tell you, it's so amazing that I'd buy it on cassette (hell, 8-track!). Just incredible -- some tracks are terrifying. Played it to death on my show when I first got it.

Oh, and I just checked gemm. Copies still out there.

But I agree, clean CDs from Tapes would be extra special!!! Capitol is funny. Ultra Lounge seems to have proved the stuff will sell. If they can do an Ultra Lounge of all of Mrs. Millers stuff, it seems they could do an Ultra Lounge of these two LPs.

Hey here's one question for everyone: Do these two LPs really go well together? Seems like Ritual goes with Tamboo, and Passions goes with the Primitive and the Passionate.
