I ordered mine from Cherry Red Records (in the UK) a week ago. They seem to have the best price -- 10.95 GBP total (about $17) which amount includes shipping to US.

Steve,

Please check the short-lived thread "The Aerovons" that I started on 6-12-03.

CDU sez: Beatles inspired gem by this St Louis band.

Includes track listing.

I never heard of 'em until today.

OK, I'll be a little more helpful: www.cherryred.co.uk/rpm/theaerovons.htm

Quite an amazing story, actually.

 

I'd never heard of them before either but, there was a really good article on them in the Feb issue of Record Collector (p. 92). It's enough to make me want to get the CD.

Cheers,
Chris

"Meetings with the Beatles, recording sessions at Abbey Road, and one amazing album, Resurrection. Beautifully-produced string-laden pop with soaring melodies and sweet harmonies, it's one of the most wonderful pop albums of the late 60's."

 

AEROVONS - Hmmn? Did AEROSMITH get their name from them?
(I know I've heard the "point in the Dictionary story"(E.g. Arrowsmith), but like a lot in their bio "Walk This Way" I find it hard to believe!!!

 

Yep. That's purportedly how the Grateful Dead got their name. Jerry Garcia was sailing on DMT when he conjured up the words "GRATEFUL" and "DEAD" from a Funk and Wagnall's New Practical Standard Dictionary.

Anyone interested in this should check out the MEET THE REDCOATS CD.

Same amount of good natured Beatlesque plagiurism involved.
