Anybody find it more than coincidence that the same time Thrash hit the shores of the U.S. Mr SoGraham Norton arrived too? I don't know who's tonsils are more brightly polished, but I'm sorta relieved I got the boot from his webshite, as its really an auto-erotic wankfest over there. Seriously, what is he doing here? (besides spending time with Ant's mom during the day). He just rambles and rambles on there, and what used to be funny sorta sounds like Kirk Douglas after a 6-pack. The worm turns, the wind shifts one-eighty, and the firestorm turns back on the arsonists, who had been operating with impunity for so long that they'd forgotten the feeling of Heat. -From the book Songs of the Doomed by Hunter S. Thompson

hi all with alotta help from eil http://eil.com/shop/ExtSearch.asp?DiscArtist=Zoe you will find some info on the many releases of Zoe's "Sunshine On A Rainy Day" i have this UK CD single, so i know it exists: CD5: 1991 UK (Wau!/Mr. Modo/Polydor; MAGCD 14 / Cat.# 867 575-2) [if the matrix # is the number printed on the inside clear part of the CD, then it is 10158701 03] 1. Sunshine On A Rainy Day (7" Radio Mix 1991) 4:00 2. Sunshine On A Rainy Day (12" Extended Mix) 5:39 3. Moonsister Lunar Dub 6:01 (edit?) 4. Sunshine On A Rainy Day (7" Mix 1990) 4:13 and you will find a picture of the cover here http://eil.com/shop/moreinfo.asp?catalogid=49980 my guess is Moonsister (Lunar Dub 1) 7:39 is either on the German CD5: http://eil.com/shop/moreinfo.asp?catalogid=155441 or the Japanese CD3: http://eil.com/shop/moreinfo.asp?catalogid=39761 (or both!?!) hope this helps! chicken loooongtime lurker, occasional poster, digest reader

The version I have is on the `97 re-release of the Zoe single (Cat # MAGCD14)..and is 6 minutes long.Is there a longer mix available? Also..while I`m here..I have a white label of "Huge ever growing.." that I would appreciate a bit of info on.It`s not a bootleg,as I bought it,mail order,direct from Wau in Sheffield many years ago.There is no number on the run out.. just COP/MASTERS MES (or possibly COPYMASTERS MES.. its hard to make out). There are three mixes 6.57/3.30/8.31 none of which feature the Ripperton sample.The third mix has almost a minute of crashing waves before the track actually kicks in.Any info on this would be greatly appreciated. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
