Hi folks

had to be cancelled. All other dates as sent out

==================
KOREAN CD REISSUES
==================

Watch out for Korean "slipcase" re-issues of Two
Weeks Last Summer and Old School Songs - these
are legitimate and fully licensed by Witchwood
Media. Whilst the latter is the same as the UK
CD release, the Korean Two Weeks Last Summer has two bonus tracks:

* See How They Run - an early Cousins/Lambert track from the same period; and
* The Actor - an alternate mix
