        Well, 'Tales From Atomhenge' is very much that sort of
compilation, featuring several otherwise-unavailable tracks, but of course
(a) it like all the other Virgin material is out of print (hasn't anyone
got Branson's e-mail? I'd rather like a CD of '25 Years On' though that
Gilham's not the only one with an original vinyl these days), and (b) it
still hasn't got 'Death Trap' on it, which I thought was a near-criminal
omission.

        Mind you, I'd still like ToA. Doesn't seem to be anywhere any
more, but my first HawkConvert picked up a copy with no trouble, and that
wasn't long ago. Yours,
                        Jon
