Subject: (ztt) The ZTT reissues have begun...
October 20th. That is the date for the American Ztt-ers to wait for. On
that date, the ZTT reissue will begin in a full assault. There are many
cool things about these reissues, including the first US releases of
Propaganda's Wishful Thinking, FGTH - Reload, AON - Who's Afraid with the
original (?) UK cover and the original issue of 808 State's 90! And all at
a midline price too, around $11.98 list.

some cases I cut from the discography if they looked the same. Some titles

Salt Lake City is the location of xmission.com, that hosts this list,
remember, so don't knock it :) I spent 2 weeks in SLC working for
XMission, actually, and got a feel for the environment there. It's a bit
square, with the religion and all of that, but the geographical isolation
has had some interesting effects on the culture. One of the things I found
most intriguing was that synth-pop is HUGE in Salt Lake City. Okay, maybe
it's not selling out arenas, but the genre apparently never experienced
the kind of decline that the genre felt in the rest of the world in the
early 90s. I passed through Salt Lake again last month, and my traveling
companion remarked that her impression of the city was that it and its
inhabitants are "very mild." Putting all this together, it wouldn't
surprise me to see FGTH and Propaganda being relatively popular there.
The other thing to consider is that Soundscan is probably getting its
sales information from distributors and major chain stores when they place
their orders, rather than point-of-sale activity. So if Tower, Camelot,
Best Buy, Barnes & Noble or any of the other major chains open a new store
or simply decide to order a batch of Propaganda CDs for distribution
to stores throughout Utah, then that particular week you'll probably see
Salt Lake at the top of the list. I am just speculating, though. And
that's not to say that register sales don't translate into distributor
orders.

Subject: (ztt) very dry soudscan info
i usually lurk about the list, but i thought you might like to know the deal
with soundscan, as i'm in the industry.
1. soundscan only registers "scans" or "sales" when a piece is sold to a
consumer at the point of purchase, NOT sold to a retailer. RIAA
certification (e.g. gold & platinum records) is based on units shipped to
retailers (which is why they are, for the most part, meaningless, but make
great copy for publicity people).
2. soundscan numbers are only estimates as scans are "weighted" (i.e. if an
album sells at an indie store (as opposed to a chain like musicland, it may
count as more than 1 sale to reflect sales at non-soundscan stores. this is
very complicated, so i'll leave it at that.
3. the "index" referred to probably has to do with expected sales based on a
market's overall sales ranking in the united states. so, if a title was
expected to sell 100,000 units across the country and, say, salt lake city,
usually accounts for 1% of an album's sales, it would be expected to sell
1,000 units. if it sold 2,000 units instead, it's INDEX would be 200.
similarly, if new york city's sales percentage were 50% and the album sold
50,000 units, it's index would be 100. thus, salt lake city would have a
higher INDEX ranking.
hope that helps clear things up.

Once upon a time, there was a little girl who believed that
the moon was made of green cheese, that hearts were
made of butterscotch, and that someday her prince would
come. One day, while sick at home with a cold, curled up
in front of the television, a strange man burst in, ate all her
food, hogged the remote, shit on the carpet, and wiped his
ass with her flannel nighty. After that, she didn't believe in
fairy tales anymore.

Subject: (ztt) very dry soundscan info, continued
on rereading my earlier post i found a mistake: the index explanation (3.)
is screwed up. markets' ranking is based on their OVERALL album sales in a
given period (a year, say), not per release, as i stated earlier. sorry for
the confusion

Subject: (ztt) Reminder....
Reminding you that tomorrow Friday 24. at 0000 CET (That is Saturday
actually) MTV Europe will feature highlights from the VIGO festival in
Spain.
Clips with 808 State are promised. They are touring a lot, it's just a
shame they can't release new material for us who aren't living at the
right places to catch them playing.

Subject: (ztt) art of noise remix tribute
A while ago there was some banter on the list about a homegrown AoN
remix LP... After one of many recent computer crashes, I lost the
address of the guy that was going to co-ordinate it (at one point he was
going to collate submissions in April). So I'm posting to the list to
see if anyone knew what was happening, if anything...??
I have a mix of a track from Into Battle which is beginning to take
shape...

Subject: (ztt) FGTH-SEAL on Laser Discs
Hi,
I know that some of us are also collecting ZTT artists on Laser Discs,
Besides the legendary "Value Of Entertainment" LD (that I don't have :-( ),
I found by chance in Paris a very odd LD released in Japan in '86. It is
called "Rock Around The Dock - The Wind Of Liverpool". This is a kind of
"playback" gig with a stage on water where different artists played two
songs. This included FGTH who played "Rage Hard" and "Warriors". This is
very fun !
I also noticed two new LDs - Seal - related :
1. Released in June ' 98 (in Europe, I don't know about the US)
Best of MTV Unplugged (1&2) - 85 min.
including :
Seal - " Prayer For The Dying" - acoustic
2. to be released in the US (10 November 1998)
Seal - SEAL, 1991
I suppose this is the LD version of the VHS tape released in '91 (as well
as a LD but in Japan only, and very very hard to find)
Regards
Emmanuel
