The last time I checked [the occasion was Eno's birthday show last year],
there weren't any more copies of the OS left with Eno's OPAL people in
L.A., and what copies were still around could perhaps have been ordered
through OPAL in London. This was before OPAL was folded by Warner Brothers
last November, so all bets are off.

The set being offered for sale was the third printing of the deck. There
were no plans for another set. At one point, a group of us were hunting
about trying to compile a correct and annotated listing of all three
editions [what was added, what was dropped] of the sets. We had real
trouble finding a second printing. I'll have to go rooting around in my
old computer tapes and see if I can recover the dump of my stuff from
long ago to see if it might be archived. Don't hold out much hope....

I'll see if I can manage to type them in when I have some time [whenever
*that'll* be].

On another note, I spent a pleasant Friday chatting with one of those
record company folks who keeps an eye on Eno now that Opal's dead. For
those of you who've followed this, the chronology goes something like
this:

Initially, there was an Eno album called "The Shutov Assembly" of
newer instrumental work, and a "Song" album to follow later.

Next, the decision was made to fold the two together [after the relative
success of the Eno/Cale album]. The title was to have been "My Squelchy
Life." This project was close enough to being finished that review copies
were produced, and several reviews of the album appeared in the British
press [Q, Wire].

Then "MSL" started to slip and slip and slip. Then OPAL records had its
tent folded.

So, here's the story NOW:

In the interim, Eno decide to ah...'rework' stuff. He and Fripp have
just crawled out of the studio, having redone all Fripp's guitar parts
for the upcoming project. Rumour has the guitar playing being "as
revolutionary as it was hearing the leads for "Baby's on Fire" the
first time".

There should be a CD5 out in July. No title given.

August is the release date for the new rechristened album, to be called
"Nerve Net".

An additional instrument/ambient album is scheduled for an October/Nov.
release. No title given as yet.

Additionally, Eno has some material produced which should appear on
the soundtrack to the upcoming Ralph Bahkshi film "Cool World."

I hope this is of some use to you.

sees it easily enough as the crowd parts, giving him shy looks and shuffling
back as if unveiling a monument. Only a few minutes late the police come by
to draw a white outline around the important corpse before spiriting it away.
