We've got release dates for you. Ad Frank and the Fast Easy Women: In Girl Trouble will be released on Valentine's Day 2003, and Paula Kelley's Nothing/Everything, Japanese edition, is released in mid-December. One more exciting new record is on the board for December, and we will spill the beans on that very very soon. Until then, go see some Stop, Pop, and Roll artists performing live.

Okay, now we know that most of you probably think we've grown terribly lazy but we can assure you that there is a lot bubbling under the surface as we dive headlong into Autumn.

All will be revealed in good time.

Despite the fact that we haven't seen a new release in a few months, Stop, Pop, and Roll is far from dormant.
