Hopefully, most of you out there will realize this is a huge rip-off, but
for those of us who don't, let me explain for a moment.
What this guy is proposing, is to put ST onto a CD (I presume it was the mp3
from the internet, whether it was or not, it isn't the point)
and then attempt to sell it here for $40 dollars. Beware, people.

p.

Oh, while I'm here, anyone up for another Aussie PopMart Tree? (I was the
head of the one that occured many moons ago) Perhaps we could try and
circulate all of the Australian shows to anyone in Oz/Nz that wants them?
If anyone's interested, mail me.
