567.0. "looking for Rhino CD's" by SKYLRK::POLLAK (Warp eight Mr. Sulu...) Thu Dec 11 1986 19:03

     Several months ago I saw a Fireside Theater on CD. At the time
    I couldn't afford it, now I cann't find it. Has Rhino records gotten
    out of the CD market? If they are in the market still have/will
    they release more Fireside Theater albums?

    I assume you mean FireSIGN Theatre...  Rhino is still in the business
    - busier than ever, in fact.  I dunno if they think the market will
    support Firesign Theatre CDs (the latest one was SUPPOSED to be
    an interactive CD game using a graphics adapter, but these never
    got on the market).  You can try writing them.

    I saw at least one Firesign Theater CD at the Strawberries at
    downdown crossing last sunday... I do occasionally like to listen
    to those nuts, but I couldn't fathom the market supporting them
    on CDs....

    "Eat or Be Eaten" is the one FT CD I know of.  As I said, it was
    intended to be an interactive game, but got re-edited as a somewhat
    more normal (if you can use that term with Firesign Theatre) comedy
    record.  The cuts I've heard from it, though, clearly show the
    original intent - it's a collection of 99 almost independent
    routines, with numerical clues buried within.
    
    There was a report on the game version a few months ago in Digital
    Audio.

I have seen Eat or Be Eaten in many shops; I'm almost sure there's one in
the Minor Chord in Acton right now.

I own "The Three Faces of Al" -- supposedly the "first spoken word CD."
