Or am I the only one

oh my GOD, you know who they are/were????

i LOVED their first album and i wish i could find a copy of it on CD somewhere!

i have a couple of cd singles from their first album, but the remixes are pretty crappy and the single mixes only give me about 3 songs from the album altogether.

i tried to get into their second album, and i liked a few of the songs on it but it was nowhere near as good as the first one. it was like zappa and funkadelic meet lovesexy-era prince.

their first album came out in college and i wrote a glowing review of it for our campus paper, and RRR's record label used a quote from my review for an ad that ran in spin magazine! it was my 15 minutes of collegiate print journalism superstardom.

I got their first CD (I still have it too ) in 92 or whenever it was, after listening to a song on the radio in Stockholm and bought it just because the DJ said Frank Zappa. The other day sextonseven got me their second one for 50 cents and I love that one too I'm all excited about them again, they accepted me as friend on myspace yesterday!
I don't have any of the singles - do they have other songs on them?

is RRR still together?!?

i don't remember if i still have their second album. i think i do. i have their first album, but it's on cassette, so i might as well not have it.

i need to check out their myspace page!

i wouldn't be too excited about their CD singles - at least the ones i have are pretty blah. i got one of them as a free promo and the other i found on clearance at tower records for like a buck or something. it's just a bunch of remixes - you know, house mix, instrumental mix, dub mix, blah blah blah. pretty generic. the singles were for "flowers and birds" and "if i only knew".

so you have a copy on cd, do you? that's very good to know. VERY. good to know.

yes indeedy I sure do!
ah OK, I hate it when they used to do that in the early 90s with a dozen crap remixes

they aren't together any more btw

apparently there was another project called "Fibre" with totally different music.

I'm sure the myspace is a fan page only.

RRR still has FANS?!?

Well apparently there are a few here and there! I am one

I have the first, s/t album. Outside of All Sewn Up, I didn't care for the disk much.

Got it because it was a Wax Trax/TVT release, I usually grab up anything I see on those labels, being a fan of industrial music.

I just read the wikipedia entry, I didn't know that Tom Jones had covered one of their tracks, that's pretty cool.

That song was a huge hit in Australia, all the cover bands in every corner pub were doing their version of it!
