i think i neally cried reading that, ive always got my mine just about staight away, but my first otr cd (gdbd) i bought it here in oz, it was luch to come across it, i travelled about 400km looking for it, any way after getting it and totally enjoying it, and finding a web page that sold there albums, cant remember who through, but i ordered it on line, and because no one from oz had heard of them, i didnt expect a reply, but i turned up in the mail about 2 months latter, all i can say is that was an early christmas for me, i was so happy i then found otr's web page and ordered just about the rest, then when my car was stolen with all but one cd i ordered the whole collection, and was given linfords two albums as a bonus, ive been familiar with over the rhine for about 18 months to two years, in that time i have all their cd's, however i cant say i have any of there t shirts or posters etc, but im sure it wont be long.

 

i can now start writing out christmas wish lists, i never new what i wanted for chrissy but now i do!  BIG SMILE
