I know that Morphine definitely had settled on a name by 1990 - as I'd see them play regularly back then at The Middle East Restaurant, in Cambridge MA. Their first record -- GOOD -- references "Billy Conway replaces Jerome Dupree all live gigs 1991..." As I played with Jerry Dupree in a band a few years later, I can attest to the fact that Mark Sandman and Jerry Dupree came at life from *very* different visions. Zooming forward many summers later... a friend of mine delivered the news of Mark's death to his girlfriend while on holiday. Bad, sad scene. When Sandman died, he took with him a bit of the soul that had existed in the Cambridge / Boston music scene. Good, the first Morphine album, is a bit on the dry side but well worth picking up. At the time, they nothing sounded like else. When King Crimson and Morphine were both playing the HORDE festival tour, I remember Trey Gunn making a comment that he was looking forward to seeing Morphine play "..to see how they do it.." or words to that effect.
