Well, you can find her stuff in the states (admittedly not easy) but by
the time the international currency speculators have their way it
unfortunately may not be worth it. I reviewed two Kitty/Polygram (Japan)
releases a few months a go and my bottom line is that "Maiden Japan" is
an interesting album that has a few good songs but nothing great. I
would not recommend it at import prices. "Groovement" her remix album
is better. There is a pretty decent DJ Krush remix of "When I'm With
You" and some decent musical help from Mondo Grosso on a couple of tracks
but again it is a lot of money in the U. S. Nothing on these albums
comes close to her work with UFO. Also, the liner notes have about 7
million pictures of her; a pathetic display of vanity or bad taste or bad
photography or something.

P. S. Tell those candyasses at Downtown records to get off their
retrograde butts and get some good music for all those Noho
trendsetters. I'll make you a tape if you know any of my good friends in
the Happy Valley.
