Hold On I'm Comming Sam and Dave I Love How You Love Me Barry Mann I Put A Spell On You Screaming Jay Hawkings (The original is a soft ballad.

I don't know about the Brains song, but this version is not the same as the Cyndi Lauper song. The only place I've heard it (as an instrumental) is on various live Smiths releases. Can't remember if it's on any of the "offcial" releases--perhaps the live album they put out, but I don't have it at hand to check.

Hi all, I'm a very new member on this list, i've heard about it just a few hours ago. I'm an old roxy/bryan fan, first i've heard about the band when i was a great duranduran fan, and i liked to know about where the influences cames from. Roxy was the favourit band of the bass guitar player, and later my too. Then i bought the older and - years later - the newest (bryan) records. I'm a 25 years old boy living in Budapest/Hungary. Roxy isn't very known here, but some friends of mine like it too. Unfortunately, the rare records are unreachable here (except the japanese 'Girl of my best friend', which i've purchased yesterday). If you have an idea, or have some experience with online stores around Europe, or know a website with _quality_ mp3 files, let me know please, if you think, in private mail. Or if anybody can send me in e-mail a few songs, what i'm seeking for, would be nice. The favourits are: wild weekend are you lonesome tonight diamond head thanx, regards, AKOS Horvath Any idea will be welcome! ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 28 Jul 98 21:53:46 PDT From: tfagan Subject: RE: [AVALON] Unknown songs "the way you do" was done on a solo elpee on one of the A's in ABBA.
