I, too, sent $1.50 for postage, but the total postage on my 4-tape package
was (I believe) $2.40.  If I have to order _Warpaint_ (instead of popping
into my local indie-carrying CD shop (please, please please let Happy
get into *stores*!)), I'll probably include an extra buck...

I'm clueless on this too (but hoping).

On a related topic (namely the idea of Happy being picked up by a major
label and her early stuff being re-released).  It was said that Happy
won't re-record her early stuff (no big deal) but that the first four albums
would never be released on CD because of the relatively abysmal quality.

Haven't I heard from a billion or so sources that the second Michelle Shocked
album (_Texas Campfire Tapes_ or something like that) was actually a bunch
of early material recorded on a *walkman*?  What's the quality like on
that?  I can't imagine stuff recorded on a walkman being better than Happy's
original stuff!

Still hoping,

Jeff
