Try two years.  Or more.  I'm beginning to believe it will never see the light of
day.

It's quite a bit busier than a Blech poster.  You can view it at:

(The scan is a little too bright, but you get the idea.)

I like it a lot.  I get frequent comments on it.  It also has a "I (heart) my DR"
logo at the end of the strap.

They also did all the pre-"Pomme Fritz" Orb releases.

Glad I got my DR Emigre when it was $7.95!

On now: V/A - Some Bizzare Album
