      I knew I should have bookmarked the website I saw announcing the reissue of The Gizmos split with Dow Jones & The Industrials "Hoosier Hysteria." Early this year I was on a website that said the record would be repressed by, what I believe was, this past October. I have been unable to track down any confirmation of that.

      I was excited that it would be out on vinyl, not CD.

      http://www.slippytown.com/gizmos.htm  Seems to be the go-to site for The Gizmos, but nothing on the Hoosier album.

      Anyone know if this is actually in the works or out already?

      Checked with a buddy who keeps more on top of this stuff than I do, and he said:

      It's not a reissue of Hoosier Hysteria...the Gizmos material is collected on a Gulcher CD....but the Dow Jones discography is coming out on Family Vineyard. They already reissued the 7"ep....and the discog was supposed to be out by now, but last check of their site had it still listed as "coming soon".

      Maybe it never got reissued or put way on the back burner. I saw in the bins today while shopping, their "Never Mind The Sex Pistols, Here's The Gizmos" 45 selling for $40. I reluctantly passed on it for that price.

       I have'nt heard about this , but , thanks for the heads up. I have a couple of Gizmos reissues. They played here , in Chicago , once ,  maybe 6 to 8 years ago. It was the very early 80's lineup ,  I was told. Sounded great. People were actually dancing , and I don't mean MOSH - SHIT nonsense. It is'nt Kosher to dance to Rock'n'Roll , anymore , but it happened.

      I can only find Gulcher releasing CD's, not vinyl, or Hoosier Hysteria. I don't believe it was them, but thanks.

      Was it Gulcher Records? They've put out a bunch of Gizmos stuff (great shit, too!). But I can't find a website for 'em anymore...
