Anyone familiar with the needledrop LPs put out by Major Records (TJ Valentino, Inc. of NYC)? I just found a stack of 100 of 'em at a local store. I picked up 2 'cause they had Roger Roger cuts, but I didn't recognize the names of any of the other composers/arrangers and so left the other 98 records behind. Someone please tell me if there's something great on MR, and I'll head back ASAP.
Toodles,

LOS ANGELES Stanley Fleishman, who championed the rights of disabled people and won a ruling in which the state Supreme Court found that Henry Miller's book "Tropic of Cancer" was not obscene, died Thursday of pneumonia and complications from surgery. He was 79.
Fleishman, who was disabled by polio when he was 1, was a familiar site in court with his crutches when he stood to argue his cases on such divergent subjects as public access rights for the disabled and free-speech rights for the makers of adult films.
Facing deteriorating health, he used a wheelchair for the first time two months ago when he took his last case before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, said Barry Fisher, his partner in the Fleishman & Fisher public interest law firm.
The more controversial free-speech cases he took on included Miller's once-banned book "Tropic of Cancer"; the adult movie "Deep Throat"; and the rights of the Pussycat adult theater chain.
It was during his work on behalf of "Deep Throat," that he observed people in wheelchairs were being excluded from juries for not being "in possession of their faculties."
He argued successfully to have them included in juries, along with blind and deaf people, and followed that up with lawsuits seeking access for the disabled to jobs, airlines, public buildings, restaurants and hotels.
His work brought him honors from everyone from Playboy Magazine's Hugh Hefner to advocates for the disabled.
Mignon Garland
SAN PABLO, Calif. (AP) Mignon Garland, a dancer who carried on the legacy of Isadora Duncan in the United States, died Sept. 15 at the age of 91.
Duncan helped pioneer modern dance by turning away from ballet and looking to ancient Greece for inspiration. She died in 1927.
Ms. Garland, born in Brooklyn, N.Y., decided to devote her life to dance that year after attending a performance by Duncan's disciples.
In the 1930s and 40s, Ms. Garland toured with the Minneapolis Symphony, danced in Moscow and New York, founded several dance companies and was dance editor of New Theater magazine.

A batch of new releases in at Forced Exposure:

_____________________________________________
ATA TAK (GERMANY):
CATALOG ITEM IN STOCK FOR THE FIRST TIME:
DER PLAN: Geri Reig CD (ATA 3767). CD reissue of the first
two Der Plan albums: Geri Reig, which was originally released
in 1979 and Normalette Surprise, originally released in 1981.
It also includes three bonus single tracks. The core members
of Der Plan were Kurt Dahlke (aka Pyrolator), Frank Fenster-
macher & Moritz 'RRR' Reichelt (there's some early Mike Ink
studio/mix involvement as well). They were a bizarre electronic
pop group, considered to be one Europe's strongest Residents-
influenced outfits at the time. Utilzing the German language,
eye-blending surrealist graphics and costumes, and pure
international mystery they left their most bizarre impression on
the records contained here. The quintessential Ata Tak band,
although the label has also released records by: Andreas Dorau,
Oval, Deutsche Amerikanische Freundschaft (DAF) & Die
Todlische Doris amongst others. $15.00

HAZLEWOOD, LEE: Trouble Is A Lonesome Town CD (SLR 037).
"Released in late 1963, Trouble Is A Lonesome Town was Lee
Hazlewood's first proper solo album, appearing between the
dissolution of his trailblazing late '50s partnership with Duane
Eddy and his chart-topping late '60s work with Nancy Sinatra.
While Lee himself considered Trouble primarily a 'writer's album'
(to showcase his songs for bigger artists), it's actually the first
manifestation of what would become his own unique aesthetic,
a highly personal vision that would be difficult to imagine being
interpreted by anyone but its originator. Like Faulkner's mythical
Yowkapa-tonka, Lee's Trouble (loosely based on his birthplace)
brims with baroquely American people, places and stories: the
