I got a wonderful surprise today in my inbox - a very nice e-mail from
American Music Club that tipped me off to the fact that they have their European Tour-only support CDs available on their
US-based webstore! For those who had the unfortunate experience of trying to order from their Decor Records UK-based site (and lived in the US), this will come as quite a nice turn of events. (So much cheaper too!!! Damn our weak dollar!)
Mercury Band Demos: These demos have some of my favorite AMC tunes, a standout being "Love Connection NYC," which I actually heard for the first time on Mark's first solo record, the live "Songs of Love" (also something to look for - a WONDERFUL album). Limited to 700 copies.
Everclear Rehearsals: Man, AMC in their prime - another great tracklist. I can only hope that the quality is good. Standouts include 2-takes of "Jesus' Hands" and the always wonderful "Chanel #5." Limited to 600 copies, which means if you don't order it now...it might not be here tomorrow. Don't leave it to eBay.
Atwater Afternoon: This is actually the US tour CD, but not the exact version you would find on tour. From what I remember, there are 300 handmade editions that you could pick up at a show (which I missed) and this version is the more professionally produced (packaging that is) version and is limited to 1500.
Mark Eitzel, Live at WFMU: This is actually a repress of a tour-only CD that Mark sold on his
Invisible Man tour. The original version was another handmade affair, with Mark signing each copy. This version does not have that extra love, though I have noticed there is a limit of 2 per customer which leads me to believe that they might be running low. This could be your last chance...
