(lol) I considered that at best one might get this item at one's doorstep a week before its street release. And have paid a premium of at least $8 (including shipping) for that honour. I'll just pretend I downloaded a file off the Internet and pretend that I've listened to it everyday about 2 or 3 times on average and pretend that I love it (cuz, of course, no such file ever existed for us to enjoy and entice us - that would be ILLEGAL!) and await my preorder from CDNOW.com patiently so that I can wear out the digital grooves on it when it arrives the first week of July. And I'll be at least $5 up on the deal, including shipping. - -Dave B > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-ztt@lists.xmission.com > [mailto:owner-ztt@lists.xmission.com]On Behalf Of Charles Daraghy > Sent: Tuesday, June 15, 1999 1:24 PM > To: ztt@xmission.com > Subject: (ztt) comical ebay seller selling debussy > > > > I thought this ad and his reasons why he justifies a $20 starting bid > and why he believes he deserves $30 or more for it, was worth > a posting > for this list, and possibly the RIAA and Universal records or whoever > else gave him the promo in the first place: > http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=116229275 # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info ztt" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email ztt@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # ZTT discography available at http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?ztt ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 15 Jun 1999 16:51:26 -0600 From: Ernie Longmire Subject: Re: (ztt) comical ebay seller selling debussy On Tue, Jun 15, 1999 at 02:24:23PM -0400, Charles Daraghy wrote: > I hope someone like Zang writes him and says "Breaking street date is > punishable by death. Good day!!" The labels have apparently been cracking down on promo sales through eBay, which I think is utterly ridiculous. If they don't want these getting out of the hands of the various industry weasels they send them to, they should stop sending them out in the first place. - -- Lazlo Nibble - lazlo@studio-nibble.com - http://www.studio-nibble.com -- # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info ztt" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email ztt@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # ZTT discography available at http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?ztt ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 15 Jun 1999 17:51:13 PDT From: James Dawson Subject: (ztt) Frankie Lives Again??? I just heard from my brother, who lives in Virginia, that Frankie Goes to Hollywood was advertised in the list of performers at something called the "Fairfax Fair" in Fairfax County last weekend (June 12/13). He said that the advertising actually listed the group as "Frankie Goes to Hollywood," not as "FGTH" or another cover-band name. I thought he must be nuts, but he told me to go to this address (which may not still be up by the time you read this message): http://www.fairfaxfair.com/index1.htm Sure enough, on Saturday the 12th at 6:30pm on the "Bud Stage," it lists Frankie Goes to Hollywood as one of the performers! May I discreetly ask if anyone here has any idea just what the hell somebody is trying to pull? Somehow, I don't think that Holly, Paul and the lads got back together to play at places like the "Fairfax Fair"... - --James Dawson stjamesdawson@hotwriter.com _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

Barry was nice enough to write back and explain as best he could the situation and who their management company is. i dont know if they are doing other dates or where. (modern english) It is true that Holly Johnson was not with the band (he has been ill for years, but I understand he is pursuing a solo career at this time); however, our understanding was that one of the originals was one of the originals was, in fact, part of this line-up. Contractually, we booked and billed the show as "Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Relaxed" - the current touring name for this group. We knew from the start that Holly Johnson would not be a part of the line-up and had the same reservations that you now appear to have. We actually had decided not to book them unless we got another 80's band with a little more credibility (of original members) to be part of the same bill -- that's where Modern English came in to the picture. Modern English is actually the original band (although like most bands there have been changes in the line-up over the years) and they did a great show! They're doing the Festival circuit this year and have performed at very large events in Charlotte and Atlanta during the past two months, in addition to our show and clubs up and down the East Coast. The Frankie show was a good one, but we decided that as they were the opening act on a 3-group bill that it would be just a 45-minute set - Modern English did an hour and Fastball 75 minutes. Finally, insofar as it being unfair to the "real band," our understanding is that what we had here was actually the closest thing to it (without having Holly Johnson). It appears that you think otherwise based upon your information about them in Florida - I would love to know more about that. We knew what we had was not the original, but also recognized that even as a tribute band that we would still have a good show. If you have knowledge that none are orignial members, please contact me with that info. As I said, we were under the impression that there was one originial remaining with this group. If you're still interested, their representation is by Mountain Entertainment. Thanks for the interest.

Barry I'm not sure if you or Beverly would be the one to contact, but I was intrigued by one of the shows on your Bud stage on june 12, Frankie Goes to Hollywood. This is not the real band from the 80's, but rather a tribute/cover band that seems to have been doing alot of shows in Florida. The lead singer is not Holly Johnson and none of the other band members are original band members. I'm curious who their management is. I do hear they put on a good show, but it's really unfair to the real band, who is being ripped off by this act. If you have a contact, i'd appreciate hearing about them. I'm undecided if I want to try and get them booked locally up here, or contact them to find out what the real story is. You do have some other great shows, too bad i'm in Poughkeepsie, NY ! Is the band "Modern English" the original band? I haven't heard of them doing any recordings or tours in like 10 years. Great to see Artists like Chad Brock and Mark Chesnutt on their too. hope to hear from you - -charles daraghy # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info ztt" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email ztt@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # ZTT discography available at http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?ztt ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Jun 1999 23:08:22 -0700 From: "Karl Hirschberger (Intl Vendor)" Subject: (ztt) ZTT: Propaganda Dual1 Hi all, i`ve just bought the 2x7" single duel with ordernumber DUAL1, over this order number is a sticker with a german order number: 860 259-213.

At this time, the German record company used to take the original British pressing and put a sticker on it with the German order number, so they wouldn't need to press it themselves. Andreas Thein has released as far as know four singles as Rififi, the most successful being their second release Dr Acid and Mr House. The first was Accelere Mon Amour (a cover of an old tv series theme). Another cover version followed (Shaft), the last was Big Money Noise.

I have a copy of my local newspaper (don't knock them) published here in England. It has a review (reviewed internally) of the 'Metaforce' single. It says WFW: "Art of Noise - Metaforce (ZTT Records - out now) ** DISAPPOINTING return from the 1980s electro music pioneers. This is just a regular rap, with the vocals provided by Rakim. It does perk up in the final bars, but by then it's too late." Apparently 'The Seduction Of Claude Debussy' is released on June 28th here in UK. According to Chronicle & Echo: Ratings: ***** - Present these boys or girls with their Brit award Right now. **** - Excellent this should sell stacks. *** - Pretty good worth investing in. ** - Definitely got to have taste for this one. * - Why did they bother?
