"The common version of Æthelthryth's name was St. Audrey, which is the origin of the word tawdry, which derived from the fact that her admirers bought modestly concealing lace goods at an annual fair held in her name in Ely. By the 17th century, this lacework had become seen as old-fashioned, or cheap and of poor quality, at a time when the Puritans of eastern England looked down on any form of lacy dressiness..."

From Brassneck Records, UK:
"Just took delivery of some copies of the new vinyl retrospective of The Mr. T Experience. It's on limited lavender vinyl and, even though it's kind of pricey by usual Brassneck standards, it is a double album and much cheaper than it is in the States. It also looks and sounds pretty damn great."
Act now, they'll go fast I think.
