For #MusicWomenWednesday here's Shotgun Down the Avalanche by Shawn Colvin, plus a #request - If anyone has a recording she made of this song in the early 90s, distributed on "sampler" CDs & cassettes given out as promos, I would be most grateful if you point me to it. I first heard this song on such a CD ("Summer Sampler", maybe distributed by X96, the alternative station in Provo, UT). Compared to later versions I can find (not including this acoustic take, which is lovely) It was less produced, a little more raw, and more emotionally impactful. I've been looking for years; I never ripped that CD to computerized format, and now the CD is gone.

Hi internet! I'm looking for a copy of the 2 CD release of the music album "The Hero Who Fell From Her Pedestal" by the artist Dirty Elegance. If you have any leads on where to purchase or download these albums, please let me know!

I posted on Reddit in r/lostmedia trying to find this media. Feel free to comment on that post if you have any leads. I put a lot of information about the album there, so I'd appreciate it if you read it.

Thanks!

Would love to find a recording of this if anyone has heard one!
Edgar Leslie & Lew Brown's "It's Going to be a Cold Cold Winter, But I'll never Freeze when you're Around" from 1914 - Dooley & Joyce are the singers depicted (most likely because they recorded the song), but I can't find any information on them.
