A judge yesterday criticised the Crown Prosecution Service for mishandling a theft case involving a valuable oil painting later sold to rock star Bryan Ferry. It resulted in the collapse of a trial and art dealer Mr Anthony Hart, aged 47, being cleared of stealing the painting after it emerged he had been incorrectly charged. It also left the taxpayer to foot a bill of thousands of pounds. "There was a very simply way to prosecute this case," said Recorder Graham Parkins QC, referring to the fact the dealer should have been accused of stealing the proceeds of the painting. "It just escapes me how for months the CPS and latterly counsel could have failed to." This prompted defence barrister Mr David Gibson-Lee to observe: "I don't think it was my duty to tell them." The judge: "Why should you? You have a client to consider." Counsel: "He is a very lucky man." Problems began after prosecutor Mr Robert Sliwinski opened the case at London's Snaresbrook Crown Court. He said that in 1994 Mr Hart, of Spar Road, Melksham, Wiltshire, who denied one count of theft, was asked to sell Still Life with Apples by its then-owner Ms Anthea Ryan. The 1921 canvas had been in her family since artist Mark Gertler gave it to her great-grandmother decades earlier. Mr Sliwinski claimed that was the last she heard from the dealer, until after she wrote to BBC's Watchdog programme and the matter was mentioned on air. Mr Hart, he said, first "presented" himself at a police station and then contacted her to say there had been a "misunderstanding". The barrister told the court it turned out that he had sold the painting to another dealer. "He did not have the authority to do that," he alleged. What the jury were not told was that it was later auctioned by Sotheby's and bought in all innocence by former Roxy Music singer Bryan Ferry for #25,000. Later, following legal argument, the jury was discharged and the prosecution barrister announced that rather than amend the indictment it had been decided to offer no evidence. The judge then ordered a not guilty verdict be entered on the court record. Outside court case officer Det Sgt Martin Power said: "He (Hart) was originally charged with theft of the painting and/or theft of proceeds, but the latter was later dropped." Mr Hart, who had insisted in his police interview that he had never intended to deprive Mrs Ryan of the proceeds of the painting, told reporters: "I have been persecuted for four years. I have just had enough." Copyright Birmingham Post & Mail Ltd, 1999.

Great work ! Concerning ATGB, even if it is not a typical Ferry album, Ferry wanted to do it. Who are we to want to decide what he has to work on. I also wanted to have creative work, more evoluted sounds,... but HE decided. Then raises the following question : do we like the artistic work and creation of the Maestro or do we prefer that he records something that will not surprise us. For my part, I like Bryan's artistic work, what ever it is. We have the opportunity to critisize it, to like it or not but I don't think that we have the right to say that he'd better do this or that. Or may be we just consider him as a kind of human juke box that plays what we want him to play... It's a long time he wanted to do it, now it is done... Let's listen to it and critisize it in a constructive way. Like a painter, Bryan makes his music. I don't think he is always thinking at us, when he composes. Like a painter he tries to express things. Like a painter, he works with new material. I prefer a Bryan Ferry than a Phil Collins or Elton John (Great artist in the past, I agree) that come out with albums that have been sounding the same way for years. You hear the first sound and ... yes, it is Collins... More over, some of us have been following Bryan for years. He is working on new stuff, getting older. Ok he is no longer the dynamic bandleader of the 70ies but we are also getting older. All this to say that this album is another portrait of Bryan. We have to give it a chance and consider it another hidden part of Ferry. Like it or not. I think it is some kind of respect of Bryan Ferry's artistic inspiration. I want to excuse me but it is not always easy to express this kind of things in a foreign language.

That's really the only reason I can puzzle out to explain the reaction of a few list members to the review of his new record which I posted here yesterday. Because I can't think of why list members would react so personally to something which (1) was very clearly marked as solely my own personal opinion and (2) they did not create themselves. If you haven't heard the album, perhaps you might then hold off on jumping down my throat for being disappointed with it since it is possible that the same conclusion might be reached on your part? And if you have heard the album and you disagree with my review, why not refute it with substantive arguments instead of taking potshots at me? Because then it looks like you are unable to refute my points any other way. I've been waiting impatiently for the release of a new Ferry album because I thought it'd be very interesting to read the daily Avalon musings. Frankly I expected more from the Avalon community. Thanks to those who have posted that they do like it and have offered substantive positive reasons. I haven't changed my mind, but I do appreciate the insights provided.

If the logistics worked out, I would have loved to hear him in a more intimate setting offered at 9:30 Club in D.C. Someone wrote this album makes a great dinner party music - I must agree to that too. My initial impression was that this is the first album in recent years that I got to hear Ferry's voice 'up close' - it was a pleasant surprise. To me, as with any of Ferry's releases since Boys and Girls, this album required a 'breaking in' session to let the work grow on me. - -------------------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 21 Oct 1999 08:06:13 -0700 (PDT) From: Neil Ashar Subject: Re: [AVALON] SIgneefy Monke #$% Ad Tmn Gos, BYe--Digipk Reveu - --- MonquiBoy@aol.com wrote: You may be a monkey, but you talk like Jar Jar Stinks. - -- Neil "Martini" Ashar ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Thanks for the reply Jocelyn. I'm a bit taken aback that these tickets are going on sale tomorrow. I am therefore in desperate need of knowing the Newcastle box office phone number. Can anyone provide this? I also need to know what time these tickets are going on sale. Secondly does anyone have a date and time for the sale of the Glasgow tickets and a phone number. Perhaps someone could provide a list of all the box office telephone numbers for the British leg of the tour. I'll be much obliged to anyone who can help on this matter, Gareth. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com - -------------------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 21 Oct 1999 12:37:22 -0500 (CDT) From: Heather Marie Propes Subject: Re: [AVALON] ATGB/Career move I think you did very well, and I agree with you. It's easy to be a critic. It's easy to make all sorts of sarcastic jabs at people's expressions, but it's not that easy to creat. Still, our role as non-creators is to criticize. Heather ps - liked the part about the "Ferry jukebox" I guess that's the role his impersonator fills.

It would work so well. > >B Bahi, Brilliant choice. This is the one I've had on my mind as well. Just Like You is a powerful psychological study on the dynamics of love as Ferry reveals his obsession, his heartache, and how this loss will make him cynical in the future. It's a beautifully passionate performance and surely one of the all time best love songs. Ferry's vocals touch the heart strings. This is a lost soul, finding it so terribly hard to express the extent of his pain. His obsession is visible as he wanders the streets, desperately hoping to catch just one glimpse of his old flame. He'd write a book on her, except that his mental scars won't allow him to. Ferry is left asking so many questions on why something so wonderful had to end - "But where could we?", "How could we?" - until eventually all he wants to know is "Why?". Who can fail to be moved as he breaks down and cries "Oh my". The wound is terribly deep, caused by the innocent crime of attempting to "dabble with fate". Destiny dictates that everything changes and even the most beautiful of natural objects will "wither and fade" eventually. Bryan's reluctance to accept this reality is a recipe for the worst form of grief imaginable....and we, the listeners, share in every second of that grief. This song would fit in perfectly with the format being adopted for the upcoming tour because the flowing piano, in beautiful harmony with the vocal, is such a core aspect of it. I really would love to see him perform that one. Gareth. "Never again, no, will I give up my heart" Bryan Ferry, Just Like You, 1973 ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com - -------------------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ End of avalon-digest V4 #320 **************************** ======================================================================== For further info, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: info avalon-digest
