Subject: (hats) Videos

Hi, Chris here.  Writing from Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.

I would like to get my hands on as many Men Without Hats videos I can.
I'm not interested in concert videos.

I would greatly appreciate any help, or tips on where to look.  Thank
you.

Actually Richard,  I think he was just sick and tired of hearing everybody
on the list compaining.  I didn't interpret his comments in any way as to
think that he would look away from any kind of bootleg trading.  One thing
that I did find humorous about Stefan's comments though is this; he said
that "only he and Richard" must have understood that his comments about the
"black hat" award were a joke.  Well..., I may not have a very good sense of
humor then.  From reading his comments, there was nothing in the message
that would have led anyone to believe he was joking or being jovial.  In
fact, his comments of "I just hope that all of our fans aren't as "big fans"
as you are. Your 48 hours are almost up..." wouldn't lead me to think that
he had been joking about the infamous "black hat" award.   So, my guess is
that mabey Stefan realized that he had gone "a little" overboard, and was
trying to get some ground back, but I still feel that he wouldn't approve of
ANY bootleg trading whatsoever.

Just my thoughts on the subject.

By the way, I found a web site here in the USA that is selling Pop Goes The
World for $22 plus s&h, which seems like a pretty good deal.  I haven't seen
too many domestic stores selling this CD and the ones that do are asking for
more than that because they claim it is an "import".   If you're interested,
the url is: http://www.adifferentdrum.com/list.html

Talk to ya later.

Subject: (hats) Re:  Pop Goes The World CD

I'm a little confused about the way MWH stuff is distributed over the World.

About 1 year ago, i tried to get my fingers on Some MWH CDs.

I ordered THE COLLECTION, PGTW, ...21st Century, Sideways at www.cdnow.com.
They sent me THE COLLECTION and an EMail, remarking the PGTW,  21st,
Sideways CDs are out of stock and they have to order it themselfes again
before they could ship them.
No problem so far.
3 to 4 weeks after that I got another email by cdnow and they told me the
CDs are totally out of stock and out of print.
As you can imagine, i was verrrrry dissapointed.

A few weeks later, i found another cdstore on the www, this time a german
one called JPC http://www.jpc.de

And what shall i tell you ?

They had lots of MWH stuff. I tried my luck once again, knowing that this
perhaps would be my last chance.
They had THE VERY BEST OF MWH (2-fer) in Stock (!)as well, so i ordered an
amount of 4 CDs.

I got a letter from JPC 1 day after i ordered the cds online, telling me to
be patient because they had to reorder them directly from canada.
And they did. It took 2(!) days and I got THE VERY BEST OF. And it took 2
Weeks from ordering till I got the 2nd package containing all 3 other CDs i
ordered. (i think 2 weeks is a very short time considering a reorder from
Canada to Germany).
I felt like the happiest human being walking planet earth.
The funny thing: I purchased PGTW for the second time. The first time in
1987 and lost it somehow.
"I Like" this CD Store, 'cause you can find lots of 80's stuff there.
Unfortunately i don't know if they ship overseas.

I can't imagine why cdnow couldn't reorder it from canada, telling their
custumers that they are the world's largest music store and the internets
number one music store as well....
And it seems to be a disinformation that all older CDs are out of print (i
think).

Anybody out there who's got an idea ?

Is it useful to order the "Greatest HATS" CD if I own the 2-fer and The
Collection?
Sure i want to get it, but is it important to hurry ?
What do you think ?

A little personal message at the end :

FRANK M. SPINATH, sei doch so gut und melde Dich nochmal per Mail bei mir,
damit ich Deine Emailadresse und Deine "na Du wei▀t schon" nochmal bekomme.
Mir ist meine Festplatte samt allen Daten abgerΣuchert, das ist mir ja
langsam peinlich, erst der Monitor, dann die HD (das mu▀ wohl an der Hitze
liegen), mal gucken was als nΣchstes dran ist, wahrscheinlich das Modem !
WΣre nett von Dir, ich habs zwar schon aus dem Kopf versucht, bekam aber
alles wieder zurⁿck, weil ich diese Uni-Server Adresse nicht richtig
zusammenbekomme.
Okay, bis dann !

Best regards

DAVE

Subject: (hats) Pop Goes The World CD

Dave,

I checked out A Different Drum's web site and online ordering form and it
does look like you can order cd's to a foreing address.  The cost is $2 per
cd for sipping and handling to a foreing address.

As to whether or not you should order "Greatest Hats" since you already have
"MWH Collection"...I would say no.  They are almost identical albums and
track lists.  The only difference is that "Greatest Hats" has the following
three tracks:  Freeways (Euromix), Sideways, and On Tuesday.  These three
songs were replaced with different songs on the "Collection" album.

That is the only difference.  Does anybody else agree with me, or am I just
way out there by saying not to rush out and buy "Greatest Hats" if you
already have "MWH Collection"?

Take Care,

Steve

Subject: (hats) been dead for awhile

Thanks for loving my sarcasm, however, I don't think you should have
been that way with Stefan.  I disagree with his methods but it hasn't
made me lose my cool.  I was really careful in my message to him not
to resort to calling him names or cursing or making threats.

Subject: (hats) Thursday's Chat session

Richard,

Sorry I missed the MWH chat session on Thursday.  Between work and school,
Thursday's are pretty full for me.   Did very many people participate, and
was there anything interesting discussed?

I was just wondering.

Thanks,

Steve
