Date: Thu, 12 Mar 1998 22:02:11 -0500 From: Jeff Keibel Subject: TAD 8005 CD Perfectly timed with Kristin Hersh's already sold out concert at the 2,000 capacity Barbican club in London on March 19, 4AD releases a new "temporary" EP from Kristin called "Like You" (TAD 8005 CD) this coming Monday (March 16th). The three track CD single features the album version of "Like You" with straight-to-tape versions of "Shake" and "Your Ghost" recorded just before Christmas.

A bit miffed about the new Kristin Hersh single - simple brown cardboard case with the KH logo, one song from the album and a couple of simple versions of other album tracks, and it's more expensive than a regular CD single almost everywhere. I appreciate the need for promotional releases, but couldn't 4AD offer slightly better value for money for fans? Or at least some fancy packaging or an odd-sized vinyl release to please those of us feeble-minded enough to be impressed by such things.

It's worth picking up for the crisp live to tape demos of "Shake" and "Your Ghost". The CD and packaging itself is unique too. It's a clear CD except for the encoded sound portion and only a green lettered artrist/title font in the center to identify it. The single is released in a card sleeve with a hole in the back side so you can see the disc. I think other than BAD707CD, this is te only other comercial UK CD single that came out in something other than a digipack or jewel/slim case. Nice little item indeed!

There seems to be a few key Kristin promos from the past few months. The Rykodisc cassette is a neat two track card sleve with "Like You" and "Rock Candy Brains". Features two exclusive pics of Kristin, although they are VERY tiny pics. VRCS 0429 Ryko also produced a very nice advance CD of "Strange Angels" in a digipack. White with silver graphics, this is a fine looking promo and again, features a nice portrair of Kristin inside the front cover. RCD 10429ADV 4AD UK released a nice 3 track promo CD called "Promo" in a card sleeve with "Like You", "Home" and "Gazebo Tree". KH3 JEFF KEIBEL TORONTO, ONTARIO CANADA
