RE: Digest Number 882

I have to agree, Blue Bell Knoll is my favorite Cocs CD, and probably all
time fav 4ad release. BBK reminds me of college days, when the leaves and
weather change in late September and friends now long gone.

Wait..was BBK still on 4ad? Didn't they move to Capitol or something?
