Welcome. Let me tell you a little story. A story about four young men (well, five if you count a short-lived accordionist) who decided to start a band. What started as a joke soon began to grow and ferment as the talent and fan base expanded. Just a simple four-piece band with a vision. A vision and a dream.
Well, the dream died. The band broke up. And all we have left are the songs. Well, the songs and this, the No Way Out Newsletter. Four epic editions. Perhaps the smallest fan club in the world, (which, oddly enough, resembles the fame garnered by the band), yet with a newsletter that has reached cult proportions. And now, for the first time ever online, here are the newsletters.
They have been left in their original form. Totally unadulterated. Totally unedited. As they appeared in their original form. I haven't added any internet frills or graphics. Just the newsletters. Lovingly preserved by their ever-faithful President, Al Key.
Hopefully you will gain a little bit from these newsletters. Much like the band, the first couple newsletters were raw and basically done for fun. But they seemed to grow, hand and hand with the band, into something bigger. Something better. Something that at times bordered on serious commentary.
Unfortunately, some of the original text has been lost. So scanned images stand in their place. Still readable, still enjoyable, still there. But you just have to be patient and wait for them to load.
I will be posting them one at a time, starting with the fourth, and final, edition of the newsletter and culminating in the collector's edition, the first edition. Which, if you happen to own an original, is very hard to find.
Anyway, without further ado, here the first one is.
