David J & Rene Halkett

I don't recall this being mentioned on the list, but I just found this
bit of news at http://www.bauhausmusik.com/tournotes/davidroom.html

  SILVER ANNIVERSARY RE-ISSUE 

  Available now! A special limited edition re-issue of David's
  extraordinary collaboration with former Weimar Bauhaus artist/poet,
  Rene Halkett. Originally released by 4AD in 1981 as a one off 7"
  single, this recording has been unavailable for many years and
  has achieved cult status amongst aficionados, sometimes fetching
  as much as $400 at auction.

  The silver anniversary CD will feature remastered versions of the
  two original tracks, 'Nothing' and 'Armour' as well as a brand new
  recording, 'The New God', a long narrative piece that Rene recorded
  in 1980 at the same as the other two poems, (Sadly, Rene died in
  1983). David has set Rene's emotive voice against an evocative
  soundscape played, for the most part, on a beautiful Luta (a cross
  between a lute and a guitar) dating from the mid nineteenth century,
  which he inherited when Rene passed away. Also included on the disc,
  Rene's original spoken word renditions of 'Nothing' and 'Armour'.

  Each disc will be stamped with its own number and signed by David
  J. This unique item will be available exclusively via mail order and
  at David's live shows. The cost will be $20 (+ $3 p & p ) The
  edition will consist of 1000 copies.

  Please send money order or check to the following address:

  449 Santa Fe Drive #103
  Encinitas
  CA 92024
 
I don't know if that address is still working, but luckily you can buy a
copy through David J.'s Website http://www.davidjonline.com/ for $16.99
including postage.
