For information that's been recycled into US I-IV (most of her available
recorded stuff *does* show up in US I-IV), try the John Giorno "Dial-a-Poem"
series stuff...."You're the guy I want to spend my money with" has bout 1
1/3 sides. There's an Arch Records Compilation called "New Music for Electronic
and Recorded Media (Orange cover) with one piece. Michel Fingerhut here at
Cornell mentions that the NPR series "The Territory of Art" has some of her
work available as a part of a program, available from the programs producers.

If you're *really* into the rare and impossible to find, her 1978 installation
at the Holly Solomon gallery includes a single "It's not the Bullet that
Kills You, It's the Hole (for Chris Burden)". *That* one is hard to come by,
methinks.

There's also a box set called "Word of Mouth", recorded on a desert island 
during a conference of artist held back in the mid seventies. LA is on that
too, but I don't know for certain what it is. The price is steep, and she is
only one of many people it, so only the hardcore Art fan would find that at
all interesting, I think.
