easy to love ... hard to get ... addresses
As the person who used to run Hemiola - before it became impossible to
sell even twenty copies of anything transatlantic within the United
Kingdom - I thought I'd let you know what was on it and also tell you
that there are no copies whatsoever left so there is no point anybody
writing to me to buy one. It was actually scheduled to come out about 18
months before 'Mother. . .' but got delayed due to pressing plant
bankruptcy. And the songs on that lp are actually remixes of the Tuba
tracks; the band having asked me if I minded them putting some of the
same stuff from the Hemiola e.p. on the lp, which was due to come out so
much later. Naturally because the lp ended coming out about the same
time most people have assumed that 'Tuba' is the mutant offspring of
'Mother' rather than the progenitor.Also, as a result, the e.p. did not
sell that well at first. Most people preferring to buy the better value
lp, and let's face it that lp is fantastically good value! Anyhow, the
e.p. began to sell slowly and steadily and eventually all 1500 copies
were sold. As it was so expensive to make, the material was pretty much
available elsewhere, and I had other releases to put out I've never
repressed it.
And as I am now destitute and back in school I probably never shall.
