Your top 5 albums/cds from the 70s 7/26/2001 9:10 PM
Rocket to Russia -- The Ramones. Tough to choose among their first three. Manifest Destiny -- The Dictators. One of those LP's I bought because of its cover. Contains an incendiary live version of The Stooges "Search And Destroy". Mott -- Mott The Hoople. Was my favorite LP for a loooooong time. Pink Flag -- Wire. Genius in 1-2 minute bites. Zuma -- Neil Young. Coin flip between this one and After The Goldrush. Pure Mania -- The Vibrators. Punk saved the 70's. That's 6. So sue me. Close but no cigar: Then Play On -- Fleetwood Mac (1969) and Seventeen Seconds -- The Cure (1980)

Priapos: You may be right. When I checked their site, I didn't see any categories labeled "adult" etc. Then I did a search on "Jenna" and came up with "Jenna Jameson Expose", and then one on "Debbie Does" and got "Debbie Does Dallas -- The Next Generation". I didn't check further to see if they were truly adult products though.

Priapos: You might try half.com. They're an ebay company, but there are no auctions involved. You register as a seller, list your inventory, its condition and the prices, and half.com brokers the transaction between you and the buyer. The sellers are known to half.com, for obvious reasons, but they can be anonymous to the buyers. As a seller, you are responsible for delivering the product to the buyer, so your anonymity is somewhat compromised by your putting a return address on the mailing. Since I've only been a buyer, I'm not aware of all the rules, but I've bought a lot of music with good results. I checked and they do appear to have some adult titles. Good luck.

Questions for Kimi Lixx 7/16/2001 9:10 AM
Sorry to arrive so late to the party, but I just stumbled across this quasi-music thread. Meddle? Man oh man, does that take me back! College days, early seventies. Meddle and the earlier Atom Heart Mother kept me from my studies on more than one occasion. For awhile Pink Floyd was my favorite band, although I began to lose interest as they got more popular. I always thought David Gilmour was a guitar genius, and if you can find any of his solo efforts, they're worth picking up. Faster Pussycat? I picked up one of their CD's (Wake Me When It's Over) one time thinking they were somebody else. (Pussy Galore, maybe?) Still, pretty good stuff. Speaking of Pussy Galore, any Jon Spencer Blues Explosion fans out there? Pixies/Frank Black? Hoodo...

Who's Censoring The Videos? 7/14/2001 8:39 PM
No problem, DB. Already done. Not backing off my assertion, mind you, but you make a good point. (And may I say that for a dumblonde, you are very diplomatic ) I just wish I had kept that email. It was definitely not in the vein of "It's not us censoring the vids, it's the other guy" or "What?!? You received a censored vid?!?" Then again, it could've come from some poor guy on bottom rung of the customer service ladder, making far too little to deal with cranks like me, and he really didn't know what he was talking about. And I guess it's possible that A&E could've edited an already edited video from Vivid. Other possibilities start getting into my advanced age and diminished memory faculties, and are far too depressing ...

Who's Censoring The Videos? 7/14/2001 3:43 PM
HoustonDon: You could be right. I can't find the email I received from A&E on the matter. I think it's long been trashed. Apologies to A&E if I've misrepresented their policies. What I can't understand is why these relatively mild scenes get chopped -- especially when converted to DVD it seems -- while some of the most brutal, misogynistic sex proliferates elsewhere (Max, Cocktails, Ass Clowns, etc.) Is it that the Vivids of the world are playing to the couples audience, so they tone down the things they think might frighten the ladies? And that the more hardcore stuff is for a niche audience, and its makers know it has no crossover appeal? Maybe it's not so much a legal consideration as a marketing one.

Houston Don, Astroknight: Good points. And in reviewing my original post, I see I should have been more clear. First of all, the Bobby Sox I received from A&E was a VHS tape. (Okay, I know it's Adult DVD Talk, but I still have one foot in the Stone Age. Plus, I figured problems related to content were relevant regardless of the medium. My apologies for the confusion.) Secondly, the label on the tape reads "Adam & Eve Presents Bobby Sox", and the tape was enclosed in one of their generic cardboard sleeves. My assumption was that A&E wasn't simply acting as a reseller, but was engaged in editing these videos to conform to their standards of propriety. The email I received from their customer service representative indicated that th...

Other Problems With Adam & Eve (topic moved) 7/12/2001 1:51 PM
Some time back, I ordered a video package from A&E which included a copy of "Bobby Sox". Much to my dismay, the version A&E is peddling has eliminated most of the Jamie Gillis - Chelsea Blue coupling (i.e., the banana scene). While I believe A&E has the right to edit material they feel is objectionable, ethics demand they inform the buying public of these decisions. I mean c'mon, one of the reasons I ordered this vid was because of this scene. My emailed complaint elicited an apology, a statement of A&E's policy in regard to censorship, and one of their ho-hum compilation videos. They haven't gotten another dime from me since.
