Okay: I just got off the telephone with the assistant of Mr. Moshe Morad at NMC Marketing. You probably shouldn't waste your time and money calling Israel to try to order the single, as he informed me that: * they are under instructions not to sell the single without the accompanying order coupon (as reported earlier, this was only offered in one Israeli newspaper), * they are also under instructions to not ship the single outside of Israel, and * even if this were not the case, it's too late now, as they're down to their last few copies. He also said that (paraphrased) "if there's going to be another pressing or another way announced to get the single, the band will inform them within the next two weeks," so I plan to check back with them then and let everyone here know. If this release is a hoax, it's a *very* elaborate hoax -- as I mentioned earlier, I've got a copy of the jewelbox insert from the CD-single, and have now talked to at least three different people at a telephone number in Israel. I suspect that the hoax, if any, would seem to be the rumor that the single is a hoax. :-) (Maybe K Foundation floated the "hoax" rumor to keep the punters from pestering the nice folks at NMC.) So here you go, the trainspotter's companion, the official discography entry for the first K Foundation release! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The K Foundation Presents The Red Army Choir Performing single [Nov 1993] K. Cera Cera (War Is Over If You Want It) CD5: 1993 IS (NMC/K Foundation KCC 1-2) [x3000; Israel/Palestine only] 4:33 K. Cera Cera (War Is Over If You Want It) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The liner notes: K. CERA CERA (War Is Over If You Want It) In acknowledgement of the recent brave steps taken by the Israeli Government and the Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO), The K Foundation have given premission for their recording of the Red Army Choir's performance "K Cera Cera (War Is Over If You Want It)" to be made available for a limited amount of time in both Israel and Palestine. Earlier this year The K Foundation publicly stated that this recording would never be commercially available until world peace had been firmly established. In honour of this extraordinary break through between the two very opposing positions, The K Foundation have been moved to make a partial and temporary exception. While being aware of the fragility of any lasting peace The K Foundation believe what is now being achieved in the Middle East should be seen as a symbol of hope for all the peace brokers in all the war torn parts of the world. "K Cera Cera (War Is Over If You Want It)" is the official interstellar anthem of The K Foundation. N M C Produced by the K. Foundation |` /\ Licenced from the K.
