GEMM
The Global Electronic Music Marketplace (GEMM) was an online music trading website established in 1994. It was founded by CEO/COO Roger Raffee and Jim Hall, and based in La Jolla, California, United States. Most of the items traded on the site were used CDs and LPs. As of February 2016 the site is defunct. Between 1996 and 2001, GEMM was the largest online music marketplace, with a sales and revenue yearly growth rate of 100% and 11 employees. By 2002, the site’s inventory had grown from 250,000 to 16 million items. (More from Wikipedia)
According to the eBay, discogs, MusicStack, GEMM, cdandlp.com, and other listings given on similar sites, the bandmembers in Liquid Faeries – yet another all-female band – are Janette Staton (bass guitar, backing vocals), Ann Murrell (drums, keyboards, percussion) and Sarah E. Denham (guitar). However, there is another bandmember also: Kate Van Orden (lead vocals, guitar) – she is listed first on the back cover. Apparently all of these sites copy from one another; only melodyuniverse shows Kate’s name also.
