dan kozak sez:
>Ah, yes the wonderful cover of "You Just Haven't Earned It Yet, Baby"

eh. it's okay. but not nearly as good as:

>"They Don't Know About Us"

which i consider to be one the true pop gems of all time.

>Now the question: does anyone know how to get hold of "They Don't Know
>About Us" or any of her other early singles?

there is a promotional cd called _the real maccoll_ that has five tracks
on it (the guilt mix of "innocence", "tread lightly", "they don't know",
"a new england" (yes the billy bragg tune) and "you just haven't earned
it yet") floating around the various swapmeets. i think it might have
faded by now though as it was released to radio stations sometime last
summer (when you couldn't got a swapmeet without tripping over a few of
'em). not sure about early singles or discography. sorry.

btw, kirsty maccoll's original of "they don't know" is much better than
tracy ullman's cover. mega-light years ahead of it.
