RE: (TV) Most recent official recording of Verlaine's voice?

["Howard Webb" <howard@howardwebb.com>]

There was a release date - I had a link to it on my now defunct
Television website. But the link is now dead (it pointed to
http://www.smellslikerecords.com/news.html )

Eventually I received this email which I posted on my site:
20 Jan 1999 - Tom Verlaine's new album has been put on hold and may even
be cancelled altogether. I received this email from Rich Zerbo of Smells
Like Records:
"Due to an overly ambitious release schedule this year we might not be
doing the Tom Verlaine record at this venture. We may not be able to
provide Tom with the proper resources and man power that would be needed
to make his next record as big a success as it should be. It may come
out on SLR eventually but at the moment it is on hold. the album is
amazing and when it does come out i suggest you pick it up. Thanks for
taking  an interest in our little label and favourite guitar hero." -

No, although at one point the story was that Tom was shopping one
finished instrumental and one finished vocal record around, looking
for a label to release them. The instrumental was due first, and as I
recall it had a release date and everything when the deal fell
through (Howard, do you know what I'm talking about? Didn't you once
have info about this on your web page?)
