Autographed by Burma guitarist Roger Miller—reads, "aren't these guys dead yet?"!

"One of the reasons Mission of Burma's small recorded oeuvre is so impressive is because it's so consistent -- they released two singles, a six-cut EP, and a 12-song album in a four-year recording career, and there's not a song among them that isn't worth hearing. One of the band's secrets was a matter of strict quality control, and if you need any proof, just give a spin to Forget, a 12-song collection of demos and outtakes recorded between 1979 and 1982. While this disc isn't bad by any stretch of the imagination, it's not up to the standards of Signals, Calls and Marches or Vs.; the songs often seem to be repeating themes Mission of Burma explored elsewhere, and the performances (as well as the recording) lack the resonance of the band's studio work. (Superior versions of two of the songs, 'Progress' and 'Forget,' appear as bonus tracks on the CD reissue of Vs., as if to offer further proof Forget doesn't capture the band at their peak.) But it's worth pointing out that Mission of Burma were among the best American bands of the 1980s, and the material on Forget would hardly convince anyone otherwise; the edges may be rough, but the intense and intelligent heart of Mission of Burma beats strong and clear on this disc, and given how little MOB material is available, practically anything is a welcome addition to the pantheon. If you loved Vs. or Signals, Calls and Marches, don't expect something on quite the same level, and if you've never heard Mission of Burma, you should pick up those records first. But anyone who is already familiar with this band's achievement will be happy to have Forget in their collection."

We'll combine shipping costs on multiple wins (or store purchases) to save money for the buyer. The automatically generated invoice provided by eBay for multiple items doesn't understand combined shipping (it just adds the individual costs together), but we'll issue a proper invoice with the reduced shipping within 16 hours. We are professionals and pack with extreme care: you can trust us. However, we know some customers may have specific requirements for how their items are to be packed. Please confirm any such packing requests with us before bidding to be sure we can accomodate you. Different packing materials have different weights, so if for example you want a box for an item we might normally ship in a bubble mailer, the shipping cost will probably change. PAYMENT DETAILS Massachusetts residents must pay sales tax because we are a Massachusetts business. Import duties, taxes, and charges on international orders are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying. We accept PayPal and credit cards by phone (Visa, Mastercard and Discover only). Winners, please contact us within four days. If we do not receive payment from you within two weeks, we reserve the right to cancel the transaction and report you as a non-paying bidder. SHIPPING TO ITALY Due to the mail theft epidemic in the Italian post office system, we no longer normally ship to addresses in Italy. Exceptions can be made for buyers willing to pay for Priority Mail, which is safer but much more expensive than First Class. Priority Mail can also be tracked. Please contact us if you are interested and we will provide a shipping quote.
