ZAPP VI (26/01/03)
The new ZAPP VI is OUT!!!!!!!!! You can order it direct from them... If you want to listen to some samples of the tracks use the modem link and not the DSL one because the links don't work... but the sound is AWESOME!!!!!
Then if you want to SEE as well as HEAR ZAPP Live.... go to the CLASSIC VIDEO FOOTAGE (use DSL now! LOL) and download it all... The Make You Dance original video (with Roger wearing his afro) is a sure pleaser as is the Summer Jam 98 excerpt...
The picture collage is not very interesting (too heavy to download and not so great pics) but overall you will be in for a real treat. (Shirley Murdock singing on Soul Train is one of them!)

And ORDER THAT CD.... www.zapptown.com
