1. I can’t believe this Slapp Happy 7” goes back to 1983!
- time freakin fly’s = yikes.
2. Curious, if any listeners ever saw LUDUS in concert, & what the dynamics & vibes of the performances were like.
3. from CT, only got into 99Records about 4Xtimes.
- all were an education revelation of exposure to music that was pretty esoteric and hard to find.
4. Tony, how long (ballpark) after 99Records closed, did it take to have the remainder product for sale?
