    The albums "Nothing's Shocking" and "Ritual de lo Habitual" are both
    available in the UK.  I think they released at least another album
    before these two but it is only available on import.

    	Another vote for JA, good stuff.
825.5First AlbumSOURCE::ZAPPIAHard hard yearThu Apr 11 1991 18:2610
    
    	Yes, there was one other album, and if memory serves it has a couple
    	of covers by the Rolling Stones and Low Reed.  I think it was mostly 
    	live.  It's discussed in RADIO_RADIO.  
    
    	Off to see 'em with Lush (3rd time and still looking forward to them 
    	too!) the end of the month.

    	Hi Jay,
    
    	Sorry wrong side of the pond!  I was referring to their up coming

825.8SAY HELLO TO MY MOMCRISPY::CUTLERJWed Apr 24 1991 10:487
    Thanks Jim,
             Thought it was to good to be true.Have you heard about the
    touring festival Janes are involved with?If anybody goes I'd be
    interested to hear what it was like.(Can't afford the plane fare on my
    Dec wages).
                    JAY
    
825.9U.K. ReleaseSOURCE::ZAPPIAI didn't know that thing had a speed limitFri May 03 1991 16:078
    
    	Their first release which had only been available as a U.S. import
    	is going to (or already has been) released in the U.K.  It contains
    	early studio work and live tracks from the Roxy in Hollywood.
    
    	Hopefully not too dated!
    
    	- Jim

    I'd still like to know what Jane's Addiction actually sound like. Nine
    notes in and no luck.

    Seriously Over-rated.

    They sound like a group of kids that got new guitars for Christmas.
    Banal lyrics and 70's guitar solos.
    They sound forgettable first time round but it grows on you eventually.
    
    overrated (imho) too.

825.13KETJE::VLASIUWed May 08 1991 16:154
"Being caught stealing" is an excelent song but the rest on "Ritual.." is not
as good. Too many influences for me (Beatles included).

    Just because the lead man has got a smig/goatee/growth on his chin just
    like Frank Zappa doesn't mean I'll be paying my yankee dollars on it
    y'know...

    Y'know...sometimes I wonder...

825.19Jane was GREATENTOP2::DELPHIASmilin&#039; at Everyone!Fri May 10 1991 19:227
    I saw Janes Addiction in Springfield Mass Civic Center last Friday 
    night and I and 7,000 other people thought they were nothing less than
    excellent,judging by the reaction. Over-rated? - BULLSHIT! I only
    wish we had more bands that could rock like that... The concert was
    excellent ...Opened up with "Up the Beach",featured "Mountain Song"
    and of course their current radio hit. This being better than the
    hundreth arena concert I have seen,Jane ranks up there. 
825.20Sometimes it just happens that way.....FSOA::KSULLIVANFri May 10 1991 19:344
    Their sound?.....somewhere in the direction of Gene Loves Jesabel.
    
    I was pleasantly surprised by their live show also, having disliked
    anything I'd previously heard......
