About the same time, Lieberman's one -stop, O m a h a, mailed her 10 copies and she got rolling on the hit. She also buys from Seattle Rec- ord One -Stop, Tosh Hori's one -stop in Seattle and Disk City, another Seattle one -stop.

"Street Fair," without any radio support, clicked immediately in supper club type spots.
