The Automatic Baby version of "One" was actually put out on some do-gooder compilation. Just search on "Automatic Baby" and you should be able to find it.
the YouTube version: Michael Stipe, Mike Mills, Adam Clayton, Larry Mullen
The sole Automatic Baby performance has been released on at least four commercial compilations. The first was the second edition of Atlanta radio station 99x's Live X CD series, released in 1995. The following year, Maryland alternative radio station WHFS released a compilation of performances from its Just Passin' Thru program, and included the track. Later in 1996, a UK compilation released by Island Records titled Childline included the track. Island Records released another benefit CD the following year in the U.S., titled Amazing Grace, which included the song. The radio station compilations were very limited, possibly as few as 10,000 copies each. The Island Records releases had a larger pressing. However, all four releases are currently out of print.
Hey, that's an awesome excerpt, Cor. Looking forward to the book.
Thanks, Liese! I'm excited that the wheels are in motion.
Incidentally, I ordered David's book a while back, too, along with the Eno book. We haven't heard from them about shipping yet. I'm afraid they're going to try to bundle those books, and I don't know when the Eno book is coming out.
Is that ANOTHER GREEN WORLD, Corwood? I was debating ordering that one (and I actually need to order another copy of yours - the one I ordered is a present for someone) but I didn't recognize the name of the author.
Yeah, that's the one. I've heard of the author, but I can't remember reading anything she's written.
And please, order as many copies as you like! I hear they make lovely seat cozies, window decorations, pot holders, and doggie chew toys, as well as a fine gift for aging relatives. They also slice, dice, and turn ordinary steak into delicious beef jerky. Chapter 4 doubles as eveningwear, and the first appendix cures restless leg syndrome.
That sounds more like Hec's book to me.
Turns you into a 9-yr old Hindu boy; gets rid of your wife
Ha! That's true. In keeping with the themes of our subjects, his book is fun, and mine will destroy your relationship.
and the first appendix cures restless leg syndrome.
will it also increase your desire to gamble?
