This is interesting. However, I still would like to know the label, year the album was originally released, etc.

I'm about to send the latest draft of the list...So, you'll see what I mean.

Thanks. This sounds worthwhile!

Hi,

Here is a review I wrote of The Dance.

http://waxidermy.com/2006/02/22/the-dance-soul-force/

They also have a myspace page. I reviewed their other work on
waxidermy as well as Chandra Oppenheim who released an EP in 1981 when
she was only 12 years old penning four amazing songs with
instrumentation by The Dance.

You can put the Chandra out there for all the moms and pops worried
about their kids ;)

Forgive my naivete, but I have no familiarity with this!

Can you attain the requisite information on the forthcoming reissue so that
I can include it? I'd use your BLURBIAGE from below for my list as well!
