The inlay says 1989 Ryckorecords and I've never seen this before so I think it's new. 33 Christmassongs from 'Jinglebells' to 'Hark the Herald Angels Sing'. In my opinion it's very risky to play this one. I Guess my christmastree looses all his needles spontaneously with this at the background. But its a good alternative for the James Last CD you bought last year. Happy Christmas, Han. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Oct 1998 11:06:48 EDT From: ASchulberg@aol.com Subject: Re: [AVALON] time will tell << One question, if Eno does not tour with them, does that open the door for Eddie Jobson? >> Question One: Does Eno play anymore or does he limit himself to production? Question Two: Even if Eno would rejoin to play, why not have him AND Eddie? Eddie on keyboards and, of course, violin, with Eno on Treatments. Question Three: Did anyone see an SNL rerun the other day featuring Jerry Hall? I only saw her in one sketch with Randy Quaid portraying stupid poor white trash. She did a pretty good job, I thought.

Some clarification, please. Everyone seems to have picked up something that I missed that hints that there's a completed album there. Where'd that come from?

I've seen Roxy twice, the first Babe Ruth opened for them and the second they opened for Zappa, the scene of the dreadful harrassment by myself of Eddie Jobson. Sorry! Then I saw Ferry twice and I saw it the totally opposite way. The ferry shows had all the magic of a good LSD trip it was fantastic...life changing. Amazing how different we all are. I see it as Roxy being too strait forward, sort of two dimensional and Ferry being the all encompassing three dimensional total groove experience. Two totally different things baby.

For any Roxy fan it is one worth finding. Very traditional, classic and well done.

Ah Will, you're talking about the post Eno Roxy, when they all became a bunch of trendy sophisto's. You should have seen them live prior to Eddie "oddjob" Jobson, they were _multi_ dimensional and better than any acid on the market. Mick Humphrey. Toronto, Canada.
