The tracks he did at RFH would fit straight into Pointblank's catalogue and I suspect this 'As Time Goes By' disc won't be a million miles off target for this label either. (but then shooting at pointblank how could he miss the target? - heh heh) Can't help but worry that this market is even more elitist than us Avalonians and the few remaining other Ferry fans out there - can't bode well for getting the new releases into volume production and money flowing in to cover the years he spends knob twiddling in the studio..........c'est la vie.....maybe he doesn't have to worry about money - wish I didn't....when are my numbers going to come up on the blasted lottery?

Your Uncle is a central figure in the odyssey, up there with the original members, and Price, Puxley, Hall and Hubbard. What a blistering period with Avalon and Boys and Girls, and all the other collaberations. Rhett understood Bryan's desire to create a moody soundscape to reflect emotional turmoil. And give it an attack, an edge, a sophistication not found on the reformation albums, the kitsch Manifesto and MOR Flesh and Blood. And Rhett had the patience to put up with the Maestro's seemingly endless knob-twiddling, unlike other great Producers who despaired of the procrastination. My friend Jeff flogged Pat Leonard a snooker table during the making of Bete Noire and Pat's ongoing nervous breakdown was reminiscent of the Parisan Police Chief towards Inspector Clusseau in the Panther movies ! Welcome Jesa. One question, (which you may not feel at liberty to answer.) We have debated as to the style of As Things Go By. Is it done "straight" a la "I'll See You Again" or are these standards reworked like the songs on Taxi ? Are they faithful renditions or sonic makeovers ???!
