You might try Rockboss.com I think they were carrying those. The first
couple were on Popllama and then Heidi was on ESD... Rockboss is the
mailorder source for Popllama stuff now... I don't think Uno does much
mail order anymore.
I just had a look at my stuff.... Heidi has a second disc with Remnants
Of An Empty Set, which was the second album. Fly Like A Dog was the
first... Near The End Of The Harvest was put out after Jimmy died.. It's
also on Popllama. I don't think Dog ever got a cd release, at least I
don't have one.. Might be some of those songs tacked onto the Scott
McCaughey solo album, Chartreuse Opinion. It's now called a Minus 5
record....
I knew Silva a little, met him on his last birthday... We had a nice
time. Once we started talking we realized we'd been to the same Flamin
Groovies gigs.
When I saw him later that year he told me he'd gotten a budget to record
the follow up to Harvest in Montana. We planned to make arrangements
after Christmas. Of course he died a couple of days before Xmas. More
than a few people felt like they had lost their best friend.
