BF should have a lot of fun with these numbers and I'm sure the old ironic stage prancing will be in order on a few of them, him treating the mic like a dancing partner etc. BF mentioned in the recent radio 2 interview that a lot of these songs will bring back flashes of the old musicals. For me though the only flashbacks I had was of my wasted youth, sitting in front of the TV watching endless episodes of Tom & Jerry. The horn section on Sweet & Lovely just reminds me so much of our two faithful friends marching around, with their heads in the air in one of their happier moments. And the banjo opening to Time On My Hands reminds me of Tom on one of his tropical cruises coming out to the morning sun, banjo in hand, perfectly pleased with himself. Could BF possibly recreate this ...PLEASE. You can just see it, him and Colin Good doing a chase scene onstage. Alright, alright enough nonsense. Just to say also that Miss Otis Regrets should make for a fantastic atmosphere in concert. And which number will be given the usual lenghly opener? At least this time I'll know exactly what to expect. Roll on mid December.

You're seeing lots of AVALON because WB has done a slew of domestic remasters in "original packaging" for the US -- AVALON, REM's DOCUMENT, etc. I haven't heard if an expanded US remaster plan for WB artists is in the offing.

Just as he did when he launched his solo career in the wake of Roxy Music's success, via the 1973 album "These Foolish Things," Ferry has recorded a set of personal favorite classic songs. But on this occasion -- on "As Time Goes By," released by Virgin Oct. 11 in Germany, Oct. 19 in the U.S., and Oct. 25 in other international markets -- the agenda is set entirely by the timeless standards of the Tin Pan Alley era. Material is taken from such rich sources as George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Rodgers and Hart, and Kurt Weill. "Ever since '73, when I did 'These Foolish Things,' I've toyed with the idea of a record like this," says Ferry. "People did like that song in particular from that album, and 'Smoke Gets In Your Eyes' from the following one [1974's 'Another Time, Another Place'], so I have dabbled in that era before." This time, Ferry's song list includes imaginative takes on such widely covered perennials as "I'm In The Mood For Love," "Falling In Love Again," and "Miss Otis Regrets." "It's an incredibly strong period," Ferry says. "A lot of the great standards come from there, so I started doing it and found I was really enjoying making a record in the old-fashioned, acoustic way. "It's interesting how [this music] sounds refreshing to people now," Ferry continues. "In a period where music is very much dominated by beat and rhythm, there are perhaps not so many great songs that are going to last 50-60 years like these have. I was brought up with them, or I brought myself up with them, because I was a jazz fan as young lad." The new album sees Ferry's profile higher than it has been for several years, with an international tour, another album project, and various reissues all on the schedule. But "As Time Goes By" has had a somewhat unusual delivery route. Ferry's long-term deal with Virgin U.K. had lapsed, and he had been without a deal for about a year. But on completion of the set, Virgin Germany entered the frame, by chance, as managing director Udo Lange explains: "I met his management [London-based IE Music] in Los Angeles. They said, 'Would you be interested in his new album?' I said sure, they gave it to me there and then, and I fell in love with it. I played it to my colleagues internationally, and they all liked it, so we made [IE] an offer." The single "As Time Goes By," already at radio internationally, will be issued commercial in the U.K. on Monday. Notoriously meticulous in the studio, Ferry has not released an album since his 1994 effort "Mamouna," a set of new compositions issued as an uncharacteristically swift sequel to the previous year's "Taxi," which was a collection of pop and R&B covers. "Even though I still stand by those albums, they didn't really have the hit song," he says. "This one has a purity in that respect; it can't be aimed at the top 40 or MTV-type television. It's got to stand up as album of songs." Having warmed up by performing Oct. 9 at the Geneva, Switzerland, leg of the NetAid concert, the singer will begin a run of 14 North American shows Tuesday in Washington, D.C. At the shows, he will backed by a nine-piece band and string quartet. European dates are planned for the new year. It's now 14 years since Ferry's solo career reached its highest commercial point in the U.S. with the gold-certified "Boys And Girls" album, released in America on Warner. It has been a decade since Reprise in the U.S. issued the 2-CD "Street Life -- 20 Great Hits," a collection that gathered Ferry's solo hits and those of Roxy Music. Following Virgin U.S.'s acquisition of Ferry's solo catalog, "As Time Goes By" is preceded by the Oct. 5 U.S. release of another retrospective, "More Than This: The Best Of Bryan Ferry And Roxy Music" (Point Blank). Virgin released the compilation internationally in 1995. On Sept. 27, Virgin internationally reissued Ferry's first five solo albums; in addition, the label had rereleased several early Roxy albums this summer. Those Ferry albums -- from "These Foolish Things" to 1978's "The Bride Stripped Bare," all of which have been packaged in "Japanese miniature vinyl replica" sleeves -- will appear in the U.S. on Point Blank early in 2000. After Ferry finishes touring behind "As Time Goes By," he will turn his attention back to an album of new material he has been recording for the past two years with former Roxy colleague and in-demand producer Brian Eno. "We hope to get that out next winter. We'll see how long the tour goes," says Ferry. Another former Roxy member, Phil Manzanera, who adds subtle electric guitar to "I'm In The Mood For Love" on "As Time Goes By," enthuses about the possible prospect of a Roxy reunion. "I think it'd be a great idea," he says. "I think we could do some good things together, but it's down to chemistry. I'm all for it." Ferry admits that working with Eno again inevitably evokes some memories of his former band, and he too does not rule out a revival. "It will always have a Roxy tendency of some kind," he says. "I might like to do a concert [with Roxy] one day. That would be more interesting than a record." - -------------------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 28 Oct 1999 22:17:15 -0400 From: "Heather James" Subject: RE: [AVALON] remasters I gave up looking for the Mini-LP CD Remasters locally here.

First of all, Roxy Music has always made me think of heart-wrenching, unrequited love, although some of it is totally sexy, such as Both Ends Burning and a lot of his solo stuff. I have always felt that Depeche Mode's lyrics and music were very sexy. Although they have been categorized as a "goth band," they have been one of my favorite for going on 15 years. Second, and this will make pretty unpopular, but I don't care, I like ATGB much more than Mamouna! I feel he has put more emotion into these songs than the ones he had written. I enjoy the music as well, and usually don't care for this type. I don't like many of his prior cover songs either. Oh, well! And I can't wait for the show! 17 days and counting. . . . .
