I've never heard of Blind Mr. Jones. As for the other two, you can find CDs for sale at Amazon and other outlets.

Ok, sorry, didn't make myself clear enough. You recommended an online store here in Australia. Blind Mr. Jones are not dissimilar to Slowdive, male vocals only though.
Want to say something? Do so here.

Sorry, this comment is off-topic. You've recommended a place before where I might get hold of Slowdive, Blind Mr. Jones and Field Mice, can't seem to find the url anymore. Would you post it again, pls?
