Whew!  Just checked out the BOC FAQ -- amazing!  Top notch stuff.  Okay,
with regards to hard-to-find BOC stuff that's floating around let me see
if I have this straight:

"Arthur Comics" and "What is Quicksand" released in a limited promo
pressing by Elektra

"Arthur Comics" on Elektra compilation _Elektrok_

"Arthur Comics" and "What is Quicksand" on suspicious import _Fantasy
Distillation of Reality_

"Wings of Mercury" on live import _Into the Crypt of Rays_

Two tracks on soundtrack of _Bad Channels_


Hmmm.  How available are these?  Does anyone out there have copies?  I
mean, the Elektra promo must be rare as hen's teeth, right?  Should I even
bother haunting the used record-marts, or is it a waste of time?


...my brain hurts...
