 KN> hey, what are you doing over in prog rock?
 I heard it was slow over here, and I'm just trying to do my part to
 generate a little traffic.  
 KN> Welcome home.  :-)
 Thanks!
 
 KN> I confess you caught me out, posting a copy of Gib I 
 KN> hadn't read first, however, hereby hangs a tale:
 Oops. Did you read the ones that you posted in the same packet as your
 reply?  Seems there /are/ some Epitaph CDs available, albeit boots.
 
 RM>>  Wow, I've been listening to Epitaph for ages! 
 
 KN> So have I, since about 1974.
 Yep, 'bout the same here.
 
 KN> ..they had that guitar harmony thing down..
 They sure did!
 KN> ..they *looked* like some sort of proto-gothic speed metal band.
 Heh. Yeah, I've seen pix!
 
 RM>> I have only _Outside the Law_, but really enjoy it. 
 
 KA> I, too, only had that one album.
 _OtL_ is still the only thing I've heard by Epitaph...
 
 KA> I bought it in 74 from a delete bin, knowing nothing about them.
 I first heard 'em on the radio, believe it or not.
 KA> I ended up learning all the guitar licks on it..
 Cool!
 KA> They seemd to have been some sort of a German band..
 Definitely German.
 KA> ..with a Chicago (city, not band) connection.
 Yep! I was living near Chicago at the time, when I heard "Outside the Law"
 on the radio. Several people I knew ended up buying the album. Indeed, it
 was a sort of minor cult classic in Chicago-land.
 KA> I lost the LP back in 76 and have been trying to replace it ever
 KA> since. I recall enjoying the album a lot.
 You /didn't/ look at Gib 7/26 before you posted it, did you?   Someone
 said it's available on CD from NZ, as a boot. If you want actual vinyl, I
 think I can get you one here in Memphis. A used-vinyl emporium I frequent
 had TWO copies, last time I checked. Probably run $4 to $6.
 KA> ..there was a thing back in the 70's that fed German bands into the
 KA> Illinois/Wisconsin nexus. I remember hearing about a tour Guru Guru
 KA> did of Wisconsin where supposedly they all ended up staying and buying
 KA> Harleys and becoming a mini-motorcycle gang..
 Cool! Most Germans would feel right at home in Wisconsin, I imagine. After
 all, beer and bratwurst are as esteemed there as in Germany!  
 NP: Bloodless Pharoahs "Nowhere Fast"
 Not too Prog, I'm afraid.. Sorry!
