NEWS FROM PEPPI:

In the last few years I have released two new CD's TASTY SECONDS and LET'S HAVE ANOTHER BEER, both were LIMITED EDITIONS. Both sold out and I have had an incredible amount of requests for them since then....SORRY.... So, am I writing to you just to "Rub your nose in it"? No, I am not. I'm writing to tell those of you who are obvious GOOD RAT FANS and therefore fans of my song writing and singing, that I have finally finished the new "PLAY DUM" CD. And I hope you guys will want to order it now. With your permission I will remove the shrink wrap and sign the CD however you request and date it. Here are some facts about the new CD:

1. The Band name is "DUM" you guys know it's the Good Rats but not the rest of the world.

2. It has 7 songs that we had on the last CD "LET'S HAVE ANOTHER BEER" they are: Beethoven, Ashes to Ashes, Elbo, 6000 Days, The Springer Sing along, Mean Mother Fucker and Let's Have Another Beer. The Beer song is now called "WORLD PARTY ANTHEM."

3. It has 3 songs from TASTY SECONDS they are: She's Staying Home Tonight, Thunder Rocks My Soul and Football Madness (with all the new jams). 4. All these songs have been made bigger with new rhythm guitar and mixes. In otherwords they sound better.

5. We have recorded "JOEY FERRARI" AND "MR. MECHANIC" both songs from previous Rat albums, the new versions KICK ASS.

6. We have recorded a new song called "Rock Radiold" that Stefan sings lead on. Nowthere's a "collector's item."

7. We have short versions of the "World Party Anthem" & "Ashes to Ashes" all in all 15 cuts & 13 songs.

To those of you who order 4 CDs I will once again offer a FREE VHS video of "World Party Anthem" we have added more girls since the last video. So ORDER 4 DUM CDs and THE FREE VHS VIDEO. All for $64. Some of you who bought CDs last time have sold them on E-Bay and made some nice profits. I don't mind that at all as long as you DON'T burn your own CD's. However if you get our video and want to make copies and send them to bars, colleges, friends or whatever that's fine with me. Your support will make it possible for me to continue the GOOD RATS as a performing group. I also hope you guys can spread the word and make an effort to come out to our live shows in you area. We would love to play your private parties; just give us a call well in advance of the date you want. Also keep letting us know about places in your area to play. Try to get the name, phone number and person to speak to regarding band bookings.Once again I hope you true Rat Fans order our new "Play Dum" CD. I am sure you will love it. The CD is $15 per CD plus $4 S&H per order (not CD). Don't forget the special video offer.

Thanks for your continued support. Peppi Marchello Good Rats/Dum
