| Which CD should I buy first? |
|
Webmaster recommends that you start with the latest (Anon) and work backwards.
|
| I've got all Boo's CDs - what else should I buy? |
|
All of the Bible CDs are worth owning. Again, start with the most recent (Dodo) and work backwards.
Boo's collaboration with Darden Smith, Evidence, is highly recommended. It's available from Compass Records in the USA.
Boo's been increasingly involved with Eddi Reader's albums Eddi Reader, Candyfloss and Medicine, Angels and Electricity and Simple Soul
Webmaster's personal pick of the rest would include the albums by Hepburn, Susi Hyldgaard, Nick Kelly, Monica Starck and Swan Dive.
|
| Where can I buy rare stuff? |
|
The two biggest search engines for out-of-print music are Netsounds and Gemm. Also try the online auction houses; eBay is the biggest and best.
|
| Will "Anon" be released in the USA? |
|
There are no plans to release Anon in the USA.
|
| Will Boo tour the USA? |
|
There are no known plans for Boo to tour the USA. Sorry!
|
| Will "Baptist Hospital" be re-released? |
|
Yes, but the release date is not yet known. Keep checking back - you will hear it here first.
|
| Will "Evidence" be re-released? |
|
There are no plans to re-release Evidence in the UK. It's available from Compass Records in the USA.
|
| Can I buy "Red Flag" on CD? |
|
No. Nobody in The Bible likes it and it was dropped early on. There's a near-CD quality file available to download at the MP3 page.
|
| Will "Anticlockwise" ever be released? |
|
The Bible actually recorded two unreleased albums, both of which were incomplete. Most tracks from the first were released as B-sides, and later compiled on CD as the album Random Acts Of Kindness. Very few tracks for the second ("Anticlockwise") were completed and it remains the property of Chrysalis Records (now part of EMI).
So, the answer to the question is no.
|
| How do I pronounce "Hewerdine"? |
|
HEW-er-deen. Not Hoo-ur-dyne.
|

|
That's a very boring question. He was born 'Mark'.
