Just to clarify ( the internet can misrepresent at times ).. I posted my utter shock that Matador is picking up BOC for US release. My shock was genuine but not a critique nor disapproval. It's *great* that they got 'em! I'm just blown away as it is a bold move. Props to them. Blackalicious availability was asked about. On the *retail* end, I dunno. But check out these wholesalers, who dominate the indy Hip Hop game: Fat Beats- NYC BUDS - NYC Sandbox - NYC (? ) Jersey (?) they're an internet Hip Hop source...maybe they sell directly (?) I don't have numbers; look 'em up. Remember, they are wholesalers who probably can't get stuff to your door, but they probably can help you. Good luck! Peter np: Darrin Verhagen - Soft Ash ( for those of you with a taste for minimal/experimental/dark ambient/concrete/electroacoustic.... check out the Dorobo label from Australia...*incredible* stuff and nice artwork, too. ) ******************************************************** xxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx, <also: xxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx> Peter Becker - Distribution Manager/ DJ Pool / Mail Order/ Demo Tape Filter Asphodel - PO Box 51, Chelsea Station, NY NY 10113 Ph: (212) 604-9362, FAX: (212)604-0783 http://www.asphodel.com *********************************************************
