 HUBERT VON GOISERN UND DIE ORIGINALE ALPENKATZ - It's All Over Now
     [ALPINE LAWINE]  MIck and Keith wouldn't recognize this one, much
     less the Womacks.  An Austrian oom-pah-pah-and-accordion/hip-hop
     band on acid.  Thanks to Daniel Keller in Germany for sending me this
     insane record.
 THE GRACELAND-McCULLOUGH TIGERS - Yes, Lord [HEAVEN/Fire Ant] A gospel
