I think you need to try to find Chuck Warner from Brookline Mass, who was the record label founder (Throbbing Lobster) that put out Cowboys and Indians. Or try to find members of the band.

• Dave Laredo – Vocals, guitar, producer (aka Dave Lichtenstein, worked a bunch with John Cale of Velvet Underground fame) • Steve Cohen – Bass, backing vocals • Julius Klepacz – Drums • Knut Bøhn – Keyboards, backing vocals

I did find his storefront on Discogs where he sells sells relics from that era and tried to contact him. Unfortunately he hasn't written me back.

Thanks for the info... means I'm on the right track.

I hate snail mail, but since I now have his PO box I def need to reach out that way.

Thank you.

It's funny how things have flipped. Most people I know love receiving actual personal post now, because it's such a rare thing.

I need to have a way to follow up on this. I really really want to know where this goes.

I suggest you check my Youtube song links occasionally... that will be the first thing that gets updated when I figure anything out.

Might take time. Snail mail is, well, snaily.
