Dennis Dunaway has sent through an album update to the BDS mailing list. The DDP album is heading towards completion. "Six songs are ready to mix. Five more are very close and one is
straggling. The new technology allows us to zero in on mixes as we go but Ingo and Silli Geirdal (from Iceland who worked on the more recent Michael Bruce CD's) are going to mix it as well and then we
will choose the best."

Alice Cooper will appear on UK TV during 'Kings Of Glam', a documentary about Glam Rock. It airs on March 3rd at 10.35 on BBC1.

Site News: The site has had a few server problems over the last couple of weeks. I'm afraid this is related to updates at the site host and there isn't a whole lot I can do about it. Mostly it seems to be very temporary and the host are actively working on fixing the problem so hopefully everything will be back to normal soon.

James Randi, known to Alice Cooper fans as The Amazing Randi, creator of the guillotine and  who can be seen in the recently released 'Good To See You Again, Alice Cooper' movie, underwent bypass surgery last Thursday. He is currently in stable condition. Since working with Alice Cooper Randi has become a world reknowned 'debunker' of psychic phenomenon and instigator of the '$Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge'. You can read more about his career at his website. Anyone wishing to make a guesture should consider donating blood at your local Red Cross or Community Blood Center, or cards may be sent to Randi in care of  JREF, 201 SE 12 Street, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316. Obviously our best wishes go our to Randi for a speedy recovery.
