http://www.mercuryrev.net in the 'vibrations' section

www.cdwow.com if you want to buy a copy. They offer free international shipping.

i'm trying to find a contact to their managment to ask if it's going to be released in the US, before I spend the quid on import. (like i should have done the last time around--heh)

Yeah, I wouldn't want to be spending the quid either coming from the US dollar right now. Today it was £1 = $1.95!!!

the secret migration's mediocrity (and i know this is a controversial thing to say) made me decide to never, ever spend the money buying an official, new LP on import again. that LP was just so boring. the only thing i liked about the record came when i unknowingly received a copy of the limited 2-cd edition on it. their cover of nico's 'afraid' made it somehow worthwhile.

$1.95?!?!
Well, I'm glad my paycheck being worth less can make Amy and Dog happy.
I'm sure Jackie is loving that too.
*huff*

Me, too.
Speaking of dollars-to-quid, has anyone noticed a "new trend" of eBay sellers from within the US charging GBP instead of dollars? This really kicks you in the crotch for shipping. I guess they are targeting UK customers, but I have passed on a number of auctions lately because I don't want to pay such excessive conversion rates to someone shipping from NYC or Utah!

All I'm thinking is that it's making Ostrich Skin boots around £220, which is highly affordable.
I hope it lasts. I better get on ebay then....
