Hi Paul - sorry for the delay in answering - was down visiting in-laws for 
half a week, and have been busy preparing for the new baby, moving stuff to a

 PW> I found one Strawberry Alarm Clock album at $16.
Which album was it?  Strawberry Alarm Clock did 4 albums if I recall. 
Incsence and Peppermints, Everybody's Everywhere, and two others.  Which 
record is it, and in what condition?  (I am *very* interested in this 
record...)

Hmmm....  I'd have to pass on this one.  I have one already, but have been 
looking for a second copy.  I have been hoping to find one at a record swap 
or thrift store or something, priced at "a deal".  If I change my mind on 
this one, I will let you know.
 PW>  No Red Crayola, 13th floor, Sidewalks, or wacthbands. :(
Bummer.  Any Chocolate Watchband albums are the ones I was *most* trying to 
find.  I don't even have a single one in my collection.
 PW> As for anything else on the International Artist's label, you'll

International Artists (IA) was a small Texas label, and I think only a total 
of 15 different records ever came out on that label.  The records included 4 
titles by the 13th Floor Elevators, 2 title by Red Krayola, 1 title by Endle 
St. Cloud, 1 title by David Allen, and I forget the others.  As I recall, the 
other 7 records were 1 record from 7 other artists, but I do not remember 
their names.  I had this great article years ago on International Artists 
that gave all the group names and album titles of all the IA releases. I will 
dig it up.  Some of those other artists I would sure like to get records of.  
I would already love to pick up a Dave Allen record.  I have never had the 
opportunity to buy one.
 PW>    They have 4 Luniverse records. 1 by Del Vikings (a/somewhere over the
 PW> rainbow- b/hey senorita), 3 by Buchanan & goodman (1 a/flying saucer 
t1-
 PW> b/ flying saucer pt2; a/Matian Melody- b/Flying Saucer the 2nd; a/flying
 PW> saucer goes west- b/saucer serenade.
How much are these 45's?  I might be interested in the Del Vikings one.
 PW> Nothing by the Honey's. (is that how it's spelled?)
Yup.  Actually, it is spelled "The Honeys".  They were the wives of the Beach 
Boys who put out their own records.  I have a copy here of Surfin Down the 
Swanee River which is on the orange and red "Target" capital label, but that 
is a reissue, (though rare in it's own right), but I really want the original 
of this in the yellow and orange Capital "swirl" label.  Or anything else I 
can find from this group.
 JG>> I am looking for some of those Beatles "20th Anniv> picture
 JG>> discs, as I am missing a few, too.
 PW>    They have several Beatles picture discs, in both LP and 45, but we
 PW> weren't sure if they were 20th or not. Any distinguishing marks?   Can
 PW> you let me know which you're looking for?
The 20th Anniv. picture discs were 7 inch disks.  They came in clear plastic 
PVC jackets.  The first ones did not have record inserts behind the discs, 
but after the 10th issue, they did.  Each disc came out 20 years to the day 
after it's corresponding single came out in the 60's.  The pictures on the 
discs are gorgeous.  This complete set makes an awesome set.  Unfortunately, 
not knowing about these issues until they were midway through the series, I 
missed most of the first half.  If you can get any, please let me know.
Here is a list of what I have and do not have of the series.
    Title                                      Rel.       Status

22. Let It Be/You Know My Name               03/05/90  have
Of course, the ones I would be interested in are the ones I don't have.  I 
apparently discovered the series in early 1987, and then started picking them 
up as they came out.  Too late to get the first ones though.  I did manage to 
find a few early ones, but mostly they were all gone.  So any you could find 
would be appreciated!
 JG>> And as I have written previously, any "Red Raven Movie Records",
 JG>> those 8 inch children's 78's.
 PW> Still, not even a peep as to these. NO ONE here has ever heard of them.
 PW> :(
I have found several I have bought, and have found over 150 titles were 
released in the series.  If you can ever find more, let me know!
 PW> So, that's what i've got so far. Let me know if you want any of these,
 PW> and what beatles you want and i'll see if i can work up a deal. ok? Oh,
 PW> BTW, to speed things up a bit, can you send me your phone #?
My hone # is 916.342.2215.  Feel free to call any time!
Also just a note:  I also collect LPs that have nude or semi-nude females on 
the cover.  I have about 75 albums like this, (some are imports) but I would 
love to get more.  If you encounter any, please let me know the artist and 
title, so I can determine if I already have it or not.  If I don't, I would 
like to get it.  Well, let me know!
