The sleevenotes are pretty extenstive too, around 4500 words including quotes from the interviews with Lewis in 2000-02 by me and Kode9. it's the first concerted attempt to fully document the story of the Ghost era.

My favourite bit is where they ask him what his favourite colour is and if he's a Batman or Superman kinda a guya

really looking forward to both the interview and the Roots of El-B notes!

also, is there a way to read that Mills interview online? there's a couple of Mad Mike interviews somewhere pretty hilarious regarding space fascination

are there enuff copies of this to wait until next week or is the vinyl run as limited as the headhunter LP???

I'm pretty sure there'll be a copy for you next week. They're everywhere at the moment from what I've seen.

This one is next on my hit-list for sure.

Contact the record store and tell them the sounds terrible. Usually they just send out a replacement and tell you not to worry about sending the faulty one back....

If it's happened twice from the same record store I'd suggest maybe getting your records somewhere else???

wish i'd had your foresight - just blew almost thirty quid on the lyrical tempo wax. still, 'count it off' ain't on the cd or the vinyl, so that's summit...

Stone Cold
Masterplan
Faith In You

Black Puppet
Nu Birth Remix
Dru Hill Remix
K Klass remix
Damage remix

What have I missed??

This might be a stupid question BUT

who made up Ghost other than El-B?

Was Jay Da Flex involved? And how influential were the other guys on the Ghost output?

I've personally always found El-B's remixes his most compelling stuff, not quite so much the Ghost releases.
