Typical Girls: Women in Punk/Post-Punk/Underground Music (Circa 1975-1980s)

[Dina Hornreich <dinahornreich AT earthlink.net>]

Ok, I splurged on the sony japan reissue of _Return of the Giant Slits_. No, 
I don't regret blowing the cash -- insound got it for me within a week (FYI). 
Although, I DO have to point out that there is a Japanese version of 
"Earthbeat" ("Daichi No Oto"). It tickled me so much that I had to share this 
information with you. I don't believe this is on the original version of 
ROTGS!

It is the original track listing:
1 Earthbeat (except that this is the Japanese version)
2 Or What Is It? 
3 Face Place 
4 Walk About 
5 Difficult Fun 
6 Animal Space/Spacier 
7 Improprely Dressed 
8 Life On Earth 
With the addition of a track 9 (which is the original version of Earthbeat).

There are a few pages of liner notes -- in Japanese, of course! The lyrics 
are bilingual, though (English and Japanese, side by side).

I'm curious -- on the cover it says, "All songs we sing for Ivi." Who's Ivi?
