Forward into the Past

As I've elected to listen to some Firesign during my commutes, and particularly during the long drive home from Mom's house next Tuesday, I figured it was high time I organized my Firesign CD collection. Lo and behold I'm missing a few -- yes, me, the former Firehead Head! -- so Robin's going to be transferring the following from my LP collection onto CD so I don't have to search for 'em: Not Insane (1972), Lawyer's Hospital (1982), The Three Faces of Al (1984) and Eat or Be Eaten (1985). I could have sworn I have the CD+G version of EoBE somewhere, particularly because the '80s were my era, when I was actually putting out their newsletter -- but hey, that was over 20 years ago, it could be anywhere now. (Rob's going to buy me the EOBE and Martian Space Party VHS tapes, which we'll then transfer to DVD along with my VHS copies of Weirdly Cool and probably throwing in Everything You Know Is Wrong as well before that tape becomes hopelessly warped-not-in-a-good-way.) Also need to transfer 10 of my 11 Dear Friends discs (I have CDs of #1 and #6, the only one I don't own on vinyl), particularly #8 as that's the one with the straight reading of AA Milne's Winnie the Pooh story "Eeyore's Birthday," one of my favorites.
