Anyone here have any releases or info from my fave Japanese New Wavers THE PLASTICS? I have their 1st japanese LP and the US 2nd LP -- but I just learned there is a 1997 "live" CD (of a 1980 US show), plus a "live" DVD of a 1980 show to be released next month!?!?

I've got the first Plastics album in MP3 and my fave on there is
Cards. Love the track, very funky.

I'm more than willing to trade, depends what you can offer to pique my interest. [;)]

I picked up all the CD's from CD Universe this past year, all Japanese imports (3 of them)

I have a Plastics 45 (or is it an EP? I haven't looked at in ages!) I picked up back in the 80's when I saw them open for the B-52's. Then I saw them at Irving Plaza in NYC. Great show!
