I asked him several questions regarding the Bryan Ferry tribute song "4BF" and I have enclosed here for you Avalonians a copy of his reply. Does any other Avalonians know of Ferry tribute songs by other artists???? << Hello John, Nice to hear from a fellow muso anorak type;-) Yeah, David told me all about your Ferry/Roxy Music obsession. Is the Avalon mailing group pretty large? I would have got back to you sooner but I kept forgetting to bring the lyrics in and I couldn't find them on any of the websites. Anyway, about the song 4BF. I think there's a bit on the official Madness site explaining the name of the song, and includes the pencil pun as well;-) The song was written in 1985 by the flying saxophone player Lee Thompson, who was obviously a big Bryan Ferry fan. It wasn't written in time to make it onto the Madness album of '85, "Mad Not Mad" but it was included on the set list for the "Mad Not Mad Tour" which was when I first heard it, and immediately thought it was a classic. It was due to be recorded for the next album in 1986 but while rehearsing for that album Madness decided to call it a day and it looked like "4BF" would never see the light of day. Fortunately, "4BF" did surface a couple of years later. Four members of Madness, Suggs, Carl, Chris and Lee, stayed together and recorded an album under the name of The Madness in 1988, and they recorded some of the songs originally intended for the Madness album that never was, including "4BF". However it never made it onto the proper album and was used as a B-side on the 12" and CD of the first single "I Pronounce You". However it was also one of the four extra tracks on the CD version of the album (also called "The Madness", on Virgin Records). As well as the studio version I still have a live recording from the "Mad Not Mad Tour" and to be honest I think the live version is better because it has extra vocals and a better arrangement, and I wasn't impressed with the production on "The Madness". For the first time ever they never used Clive Langer & Alan Winstanley as producers and the sound really suffered for it (IMHO). So here are the words, as printed on the sleeve of "The Madness". For some reason there are lyrics missing, the bit which goes "Love was the drug finally made you despair". Don't know why that is. I'll try and work them out if you can't make them out. ******************************************************* 4 B.F.

I forget his name but some photographer was being interviewed and the above fact seemed to be one of his claims to fame. It was also the first and so far only time I've ever heard a song played on this station. I also remember hearing on the radio around the same time (just after the Mamouna tour) that Ferry had announced he would never do his old stuff in concert again. Any truth in that I wonder? Seeing as how Wetton has been getting a few mentions recently you might be interested to know that he is appearing in a tribute album for Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Bryan Ferry on Alan Partridge.... should be a good laugh but I have to ask myself why oh why is he doing it? Must be getting Roxy back together again.
