Shocked Ping Pong Over the Abyss misprint Reply to this Post Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Posts Report Post to a Moderator       Go to the top of this page
I purchased Ping Pong Over the Abyss sometime back in high school, yes back in the 80's. It was tucked away in my parents basement never played. I think a friend made a tape for me, but its to far back to remember. Well I tried to rip a copy of the album to mp3 but it turns out that while side 1 is the 77's side 2 is some southern woman singing horribly boring praise music. And yes its both horrible and boring.

Anyone know where I can get side 2?

You can download the album using a program like Soulseek.

I'm with you in Rockland
where you scream in a straight jacket
that you're losing the game of the actual
ping pong of the abyss.

I knew I couldn't take anyone serious with "Salad" for a last name, and you're an evil bastard for even suggesting that someone go to a site like that and rip us off by downloading the album for free. I am poor and I'll die poor but I still need postage to send our music out to clods like you. Stinging slaps to both wrists, you 'Wedge' with Bleu Cheese and fake bacon bits. I think you need to do a little "Soulseek"-ing yourself .... Mad

Anyone who wants a copy of Ping Pong is welcome to e-mail me -- mike@77s.com -- and I will help you achieve your goal any way I can.

Omigosh I had almost forgotten that disgusting abomination of a cassette. I should have taken that as a sign to get out while the gettin' was good ... the writing was already on the church wall and I didn't pay it any heed.

Another defeat! Confused

I had no idea there was a way to get it that directly benefited you. Since it's not available through official channels, I assumed no way of purchasing it would directly put money in your pockets. I would never suggest stealing something that's still in print.

By the way - is it better for you if we buy albums from a bookstore or online retailer or is it better if we buy it directly from 77s.com? I assume that buying it directly from the band puts more money in your pocket, but buying it from a store might actually encourage them to stock more good music.

Sorry Carl for calling you names and losing my temper.

Either one is fine, because by the time a release gets to a book or music store, we've already been paid (in theory...)

The odds, though, of you or anyone finding our music at those outlets these days is practically nil, although I have seen our stuff sold second-hand on Amazon or eBay, at which point we make absolutely nothing as we were paid the first time around.

No apology necessary. That's the fun of having a pseudonym - I've never been berated by the phrase "fake bacon bits." I laughed pretty hard.

Lop your head off and it will go away. I think it would be worth it. Tongue

I was thinking of Johnny Cash's version actually, which sounds way more authentic.

If that one is stuck in your head then don't chop it off.
