  Returning Oddities

A few reasonably priced rarities and oddities should be making their reappearance in the DA store very soon. Keep watching.

The first titles to make their return should be "Swirling Mellow" (alone on CD) and "All Day Sing and Dinner On The Ground" - both in jewel cases (a first for "All Day Sing").

More will follow.

Do you get the cassette interview that came with Swirling Mellow?

OK.... maybe its from being a bit beaten and weathered from an unusual amount of work, but... I just asked around and no one seems to remember there being an interview on Swirling Mellow. Which interview are you referring to?

Posted by dennis on 05-23-2008 at05:35:



Okay, I confess I have no idea either.


It just sounded cool when Ron E mentioned it.

I have this old cassette, photocopied sleeve insert thing I think... though I don't properly remember... side one was swirling mellow, side two was an interview, with Tony Shore if I remember.

Where's jyroflux been lately? I think he helped out on a couple versions of the "Mellow" tape. It went through several variations over the years, so you could probably ask a dozen fans what was on their tape and get a dozen different responses.

I got mine in '89, I think it was one of the first batch - it was just a 60-minute cassette with the same "Mellow" program on both sides. Photocopied jacket, natch.

Mine had Mellow on one side and te second side of the tape had a mixmatch of songs that were from Breifing from the Ascent, Bibleland Roughs, live cuts and other weird junk.

Maybe we could combine all the Mellow tape bonus stuff into one disc... we would need a CDR of whatever people had they wanted on there like this interview.

I've never heard Mellow, but I vote for as much bonus material as possible to be included. I'm excited about picking up some of these rarities that I have not heard before.

I am so buying "All Day sing and Dinner on the Ground" with a jewel case. This is a CD that frequently travels with me and my wife spilled water on my CD case once and ruined the cardboard cover. I wept for weeks. Now I will weep with joy for a chance to have this release in a jewel case. I would not mind having some of my other rarity stuff in jewel cases either. As far as mellow goes I will have to consider it based on my budget. God bless!

I'll mail you this tape if you want...if its okay to make a copy first...I figure you can make a better digital copy than I can.

Or the 1994 one with the "MC Tracks" excerpt? That was conducted by Dr. Shore.

That's a good one too.

Maybe that's the interview I'm thinking of, I'll check and let you know... if I can find it, I've just moved and all my tapes are in a box somewhere...

Posted by audiori on 05-25-2008 at12:19:

 

Thanks for checking. We'll include it if there is a weird old Eddies-related interview there somewhere.

---

Posted by Ron E on 05-25-2008 at17:08:

 

I don't think it was Eddies related, I think it was more, Doppelganger era, if I remember, now I really have to find this thing!

Posted by Ron E on 05-25-2008 at17:10:

 

okay, I found it, now I have to find something to play it on! I think our only cassette player is in the car...
