Subject: (ztt) For those of you who own the Japanese FON Mixes

Could you please tell me if "A Nation Rejects" is the version featured on
the "Paranoimia" 12" or the one on "The Ambient Collection". If it's the
latter, is it taken straight from the LP or is it rid of the ambient segues
?

Thanks for your help,

Topher.

Subject: (ztt) Uni ZTT Reissues: Ouch!!!

I've just seen several of the new Uni versions of ZTT stuff, and have to say
that every one of the CDs I saw looked shoddy beyond belief. Uni apparently
didn't shoot the new booklets or back cards from the original film, because
the reproduction is terrible. (808 State's "Gorgeous" has to be the worst --
really blurry.)

Promo copies of four Frankie CDs, "Gorgeous," and Propaganda's
"Disturbdances" all were at a used-CD store near me (Heavy Rotation on
Ventura Blvd. in Studio City, CA, if anyone is interested). Because the CDs
weren't shrink-wrapped, I was able to check out the interiors of the
booklets. Many photos had "moire" patterns (the screened look of a bad
reproduction). In general, every piece of art and type looked as if it had
been reproduced via a very bad computer scanner.

I have no idea if the sound quality of the CDs themselves is any
better/worse than previous editions. (Can anyone help me out here?) But if
the packaging is any indication, this reissue campaign is a real insult.

Subject: (ztt) Propaganda/Brucken videos

     Hello everyone;

     I'm trying to locate a copy of the homemade Propaganda/Act/Brucken
     video that was offered on the list a couple of years ago.  I had a
     copy, but I've misplaced it.  Is anyone interested in trading?  I have
     videos by the following groups that I am willing to trade:

     Erasure            Talking Heads           Blow Monkeys
     Seal               Joe Jackson             The Beautiful South
     Paul Simon         Fine Young Cannibals    Bryan Ferry
     Sugarcubes         The Christians          The Clash
     Art of Noise       OMD (soon to arrive)    Frankie Goes to Hollywood
     Stand by Me - AIDS Concert Video.

     These range from homemade copies off of TV to professionally shot
     concerts, and professional videos.

     I also have most CD's released by Claudia, along with some 12" vinyl
     that I'm willing to copy or trade.

     Thanks for looking

     Mike
