He says that they are brand new and still in the shrink wrap. He asked me to find out if any of you would be interested and what they would be worth. If you guys are interested I can act as a middle man and you can use a credit card to buy them. E-mail me directly: info@oglio.com There are only 10 copies so I'll take the 10 best offers by 1/31/97 and pass them along.

First-> I receive some E-Mail regarding the pictures. I didn't take those pictures. They are professional pictures from the band and Ivan itself between 1983 and 1988. They come from Alert Music (the old MWH's manager). They are great by the way. Second-> I did receive another confirmation yesterday from my friend at musique plus. He said that HE'S SURE that Ivan is recording something right now, but he's not sure if it's French or English. Third-> HEY TOM I received you package. INCREDIBLE. The sound is GREAT. 100000000 times thank you for this good work. Fourth-> I was checking the video Where do the boys go yesterday, this is all tape in Montreal, If you come to Montreal one day, I will bring you to this BIG orange ball. It's a restaurant. Is there some else from Montreal, the native land of MWH???

Awesome news! awhile back I predicted that the new Ivan album would sound balanced between various styles he's done, but I couldn't be more happier to be wrong. It might be a bit naive to hope for another ROY or FOTE (I or III) but at least it sounds like he's given up on being another "4/4 in the neighborhood banging on the same guitar"! I can't wait!!!

I just picked up the Men Without Hats Folk of the '80s EPs from my friend. I am impressed with the condition of the records. They are still in the shrink wrap and have only slight corner wear from being around for 16 years. The track listing is as follows: modern(e) dancing utter space antarctica security (everybody feels better with) The average bid so far is $25. I have a total of 7 available (I thought he had 10 but he only had 8).

There was debate earlier about Canadian vs. US track sequence. Since both sides had good points we decided to give MWH fans the closest thing to an original CD. We used the same cover design of the ROY & Folk (III) _CDs_ and the same track listing in the order it appeared on the original CDs.

My name is Denny and I'm new to the mailing list. I am a big fan of the early MWH. Lately, I have not been to keen (that rhymes!) with their releases, but now that the greatest hats is out I am back in the swing of things. I love "I LIKE" and "I GOT THE MESSAGE"!! I think the Pet Shop Boys could do a great remake version of IGTM with Bananarama singing the chorus! Whatya think? I must ask this!! Why in the video for I LIKE, does the background letters spell I LIKE "T"? What does this mean? I have always wondered...

It's $25 at the only regular store in town that has it. Although it was a wednesday, I loved 'On Tuesday' from the very first time I listened to it. (Most music I like needed more time to grow on me.) They were really at their best in ballads! Think of 'You And Me' or 'Everybody Wants To Know'! And yes, Hillary, I'd also say that I like PGTW (the song) most of all I've heard from them so far (including ROY). In particular, I love the awsome remixes. Hmm, so why does noone ever talk about these albums? Perhaps they are not rare enough? ;-) I wonder what we'll talk about when everybody has the 2in1 ...
