Does anyone know if Laurie Pepper is done putting out "Unreleased Art" volumes? I have all of them and they are fantastic. I know she's been putting out the chapters of the book, but the music is fantastic.

She ceased operations with her label Widow's Taste, though it is possible that she is involved in getting additional tapes issued by other labels like Omnivore.

Laurie is 84 or 85 these days, so running a record label might be a bit much.
