I haven't seen the issue but Uncut is supposed to have raved about the Kevin 
Thista-a 5star review.
Your "NP"is the most exciting one I've seen yet.I love Kid Creole-have 
everything on vinyl.I have been thinking about investing in a cd comp.I do 
miss their live shows dearly.I used to see every Chicago gig.
