        My sister has called Warner Brothers (several times), asking
        about the lack of Ambrosia CDs.  She's always been told
        that they have no plans to release any Ambrosia on CD.
        In addition, they've stopped making the records as well.

    Lou Reed- Metal Machine Music, Take No Prisoners
    Too bad, with the exception of MMM (which I would love to have unopened
    on vinyl) these would be definite purchases.

    Any of you that correspond in one way or another with WEA (Warner
    Brothers, Elektra, Asylum or even Atlantic) with negative results,
    get names of people you talk to and what office. Draft up a messages
    and send them to me. I may not be able to do anything about it,
    however I've a 1st cousin that's V.P. of marketing at WEA in
    Hollywierd. If I get enough complaints, I'll just package them up
    and mail them down to him.

    Vangelis's unreleased works especially "Heaven and Hell" on RCA.

    I wish CBS would release Rockpile's LP "Seconds of Pleasure" -
    I would be in heaven! But I suppose that would be asking too much!
    And while I'm dreaming, how about Dave Edmunds "DE7"!
    
    I wish...

What a great album.  I picked up "Seconds of Pleasure (Months of Touring)"
last week (on vinyl).  $4 at tower.

        re several - not that I don't believe you; I'm just curious.
        How do you know the titles you mentioned won't be released
        on CD?  E.g., in .1 I mentioned that the word on Ambrosia
        came from someone at Warner Brothers'.

    In my case, it was simply an assumption based on the fact that
    the album (Steinman's only one) hasn't yet been released on CD, and
    that the album wasn't a big seller to begin with.  I'd love for
    Epic to prove me wrong...

    	I've never seen anything by "Everything But The Girl" on CD.
    
    	Does anyone know if they are or will be available?

    re:.11
    
    Yes, but I'll be more specific in another note, so this one
    doesn't get sidetracked.
    
    re:.previous
    
    I suppose it's a specious to assume that because a label hasn't
    released a given album on CD yet that it's unlikely to. I've
    thought the same thing about KATRINA AND THE WAVES (their first
    LP), which has yet to be released in the US on CD, but *is*
    available in Europe and Japan. And, much to my regret, neither
    of The Nails' albums have yet to be released on CD, but who
    can tell?

    The import Rockpile "Seconds of Pleasure" CD is at Rockit Records
    in Nashua (at least it was last Friday).  About $20.
    
    BTW, it has as a bonus the 4 song "Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe Sing
    the Everly Bros." EP included with the first pressings of the vinyl.

	I'd suspect that we'll never see the "real", which is to say the
original London version of Jesus Christ Superstar.  They've got an abridged
version (which is half length and out of order), they've got the broadway
version (I think), and they've got the movie version.  That doesn't quite
measure up to the 28 (or is it more) versions of "the four seasons", but it
doesn't look good. 

    Re/ .15:
    
    As I mentioned elsewhere in this conference, the "real" original
    version of "Jesus Christ Superstar" IS on CD.  Good luck finding it,
    though.  I found it at BCD about a year ago.  It's on two discs, and
    has some weird tie-dyed design on the booklet which looks nothing the
    the original cover art.
    
    The only other two recordings I've seen are the London stage cast
    version (NOT the same as the original, studio version), and the film
    soundtrack.  I've never seen a Broadway cast version.
    
    Some albums I'm getting pessimistic about:
    
    	Soundtrack to "Pennies from Heaven"
    	Soundtrack to "Cabaret"
    	Phil Ochs' "Pleasures of the Harbor" and others
    	All the Smithsonian Collections of Jazz, American Popular Song, etc.
    	Chrysalis (the group, not the label)
    	Lincoln Center Revival Cast "Annie Get Your Gun"
    	... and for that matter, tons of other original cast recordings

    It seems likely, and sad, that the 60's stuff from Tom Rush, mostly
    on Elektra, won't be released on CD. He bought up all of the rights
    to the records and now has re-released but a few on vinyl. Given
    the cost of cd production and the low volume sales (small ads in
    magazines), I think it would be difficult for him to afford to produce
    a cd release.

    
    Big Brother and the Holding Co.: Be A Brother
    
    
    This is pre-Janis. I haven't been able to find the album, been looking
    for it off and on for years.

    
    Re: .19
    
    "Be A Brother" was the first of two *post* Janis Joplin Big Brother
    records.
    
   

    "The Pope Smokes Dope" by "David Peel and the Lower East Side" will
    probably never be on CD (it should of never been on LP :-)

    re .5 The Cruiser
    
    I wrote a letter to Warner Bros asking them if/when they were going
    to release a bunch of albums onto CD.  I got MY letter back from
    them with someone hand writing in a note to the effect "no plans
    as of yet ..." with no signature!  It must've taken at least 2 seconds
    of their time.  This really pissed me off!  Warner Bros seems to
    be REAL SLOW for releasing older material onto CD as compared to
    some other labels.

    Well, my dreams have just been answered! I just got in the latest
    update from Noteworthy, and it says that Rockpile's 'Seconds of
    Pleasure' album comes out on July 19, 1988!!! 
    
    Now I just hope they were nice enough to include the Everly Bros.
    songs that came on the EP (which came free with the first pressing
    of the album).

    And I forgot the best part - only $7.92 through Noteworthy!!!

    C.W. McCall  "Wolf Creek Pass", "Black Bear Road" (you remember-"Convoy").
    This came from Chip Davis of American Grammaphone (Yep, "Fresh Aire"),
    who  said he sold the rights to the McCall stuff to Warner Bros
    long ago and there are no plans to put them out on CD.

    Split - The Groundhogs

    re.25
    I once had an album by C.W. that was a fav but lost it in a move
    several yeras ago efforts to replace it have been in vain I cant
