Gene, I don't think BF has spent too much time listening to his "advisers" (we met one of them at the RFH gig) over the years. I doubt that he really aims his stuff at anyone these days - he does what he wants. And then he worries about his sales, marketing etc after the event - but never enough too do much about it. Perhaps it was different with In Your Mind and F+B.

I know >someone (Han?) was away til August 2nd but are things moving toward fruition? I almost finished it. Only have to bring the volume of the different recordings on the same level and do a final check of all the songs are o.k. the next days I don't have much time and in the weekend I'm not home. I planned to make the mastercd's Monday. Who want to do the distribution? I guess we need one person for the USA, one for the UK. Is that enough? I will do the rest of the world. For you who are curious what's on it: 1 Will you still love me tomorrow. Acoustic version performed at 'Later with Jools Holland'. 2 The Right Stuff 3 Kiss and Tell Live recorded for Saturday Night Live 4 Sensation 5 Boys and Girls 6 Slave to love 7 Jealous Guy Live Aid 8 Slave to Love 9 Jealous Guy 10 Let's Stick Together 11 Hey Jude Heineken Night of the Promms. Ferry is performing with an orchestra. Hey Jude is the last song and is done by all the artists. Slave and Jealous are taken from the Cd that was released here in Europe. 12 I'll Die For Her 13 John Harding The RFH recordings that Andy Cooper made. The quality is of this recording is poor. Lots of distortion on it. But for the real fans it is a must have. The official titles of the songs are a question for me but I have to give them a name. As Bahi wrote: in the second song Bryan is singing John Hardy. But I'm sure that he is singing about John Wesley Harding. For the ones who aren't familiar with the work of Bob Dylan. He has an album with that title. Although the lyrics of the titlesong are not the same as Ferry's song all the ingredients are the same. It's about a kind of outlaw type that helped the poor and never was put in Jail. Charming wife who is helping him etc. The details how to get a copy will come as soon as possible.

Bowie rarely performed D.I.S during that or any tour and it`s been acknowledged that the acoustic version was played only a few times. For decades, the only known recording of this acoustic version was a poor quality audience recording from a show in Florida and was considered a Holy Grail among Bowie memorabilia collectors. This newly discovered sound board recording featuring the legendary acoustic D.I.S., from the first show of the '72 American tour no less, is truly a historic find.

This mail list is devoted to Roxy Music and related artist and bands. If you give this list a chance, I think you`ll find that it has a lot to offer in the way of Roxy Music news and items of interest. There are many music related mail lists available on the Internet but I`m sure you`ll find the Avalon list is special and different. One thing that we offer that is of interest to many people is a selection of rare and unique material not available to the mainstream public (read into this bootlegs) by way of out "CD/Video trees." The Roxy Music bootlegs distributed via our "trees" are aimed at people who love listening to Roxy, want to hear interesting, good Roxy, and groan at the hint of another damn no-end-in-sight CD box set that seem to re-hash the same old studio cuts, "b- sides", and "special mixes" over and over. Bootlegs offer a unique glimpse of the band on their natural turf....the stage. Please keep in mind that no one on the Avalon list is responsible for the existence of bootlegs albums, we merely have access to them, enjoy them and wish to spread the music. I`ve met many people on this mail list who were stunned by the brilliance of a certain song done live on a bootleg and reevaluated their whole attitude to them. But first and foremost, the Avalon list is NOT just about bootlegs and anyone focusing only on this subject is missing out on some often stimulating, sometimes hilarious and most interesting people. WHAT A "TREE" IS AND HOW IT`S DONE: A "tree", as in Tape/Video/Cd "tree", is unique material relating to Roxy Music which is compiled by a person(s) and offered to the list. If enough interest is generated, then list members capable of producing CD-R and tape copies (known as "Master Holders") will contact the person with the material. A number of "masters" are made and sent to a number of "Master Holders". When the "Master Holders" are ready, they will announce it to the list and anyone interested in a copy would simply post a request to the list copies will go out to those interested. Hence, "a tree." Typically, anyone wanting a copy will need to send the appropriate number of blank media (video tapes, audio cassette tapes or CD-R) and a stamped, addressed bubble-lined shipping package. The "Master Holder" will make your copy and send it to you. That`s it. THE RULES: 1) A CD/Tape/Video (T/V/CD) Tree can only be initiated by a person(s) possessing enough Roxy related material to put (at least) a tape together. 2) NO ONE CAN VOLUNTEER ANOTHER`S MATERIAL. 3) In no way is a profit made by anyone initiating or taking part as a master holder. They will always be done for the cost of the media and shipping only. WHAT`S AVAILABLE: Past trees have included: Brian Ferry-Wolfhampton(?) '95 with Robin Trower The Stockholm show of 01.27.76, 2CDs, Excellent Stereo '75 New York/London show, 1CD Excellent Stereo Various BBC broadcast '72-'74, 1CD Excellent Stereo '74 Boston show, 2CD Very good+ mono audience recording Editions Of Roxy- A compilation of 15 Roxy songs covered by other bands. WHAT`S IN THE FUTURE: A Video collection. A CD of live recordings from the '80`s and a recent Ferry show from the Meltdown '99 festival. - ----------------------------------------------END--------------------------- - -------------------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ End of avalon-digest V4 #240 **************************** ======================================================================== For further info, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: info avalon-digest
