And dittos on the eagerness to replace old UK reissues.

She had some phenomenal personnel on these records, too. Her band was the shit.

And there were probably rights problems with that one anyway. Ah well.

Anyway, these new cheap reissues happily replaced the slipshod UK bootleg issues. (The UK'sters spelled her album "They Say I'm Differengt" on the spine, or something similar. It was embarrassing. Yay LITA!)

Not only are those early albums awesome, she has a really interesting story - check out if you can the cover story on her from the current (I think) issue of "Wax Poetics."
