Why....thangya very much.....there's several volumes of this stuff as I've
been assembling these things and taking them to board meetings with major
label people and asking them "Why the hell haven't you re-released this yet?
And better still....when can I release this stuff?"
I'm putting together some other volumes for Mr. Bash and Spradlin....I'd be
happy to do the same for anyone that wants one....please send me a note off
list with an address.

Might want to mention here that The Boomers is the defacto, undercover
identity of Ian Thomas -- the "Painted Ladies" guy (and brother of SCTV
comedian Dave Thomas). In lieu of the fact that Anthem Records have never
[and apparently WILL NEVER] release Ian's 10 solo albums on CD, he's gone
ahead and built a large European following as a Boomer.
Good stuff.
