But I have also seen it in a couple of discographies listed as the 1976 bside to Do The Strand (which I can only presume was to have been the Viva! version). I alsoi read that it was an Andy Mackay composition. Maybe Bryan just forgot, just like David Bowie has forgotten about The Laughing Gnome and his debut album in the latest set of reissues.

This praise for "Sting". (I should preface my rant with a thousand In My Humble Opinion disclaimers, so ...) IMHO Sting is the antithesis of Ferry. Yes I know they share a common geographical background and were both teachers but that's where their similarity ends. 1. Sting is smug. Bryan is bedevilled by doubt. These past few weeks I haven't been able to pick up a magazine without seeing pictures of Sting sitting cross legged, wearing (I can barely bring myself to write it..) pre-faded blue denim dungarees and a sense of metaphysicality as he stares into the middle distance . Yes, the former Police front man invites you into his charming Tuscan villa with his charming wife, yes the same wife he screwed behind the back of his charming previous wife. 2. Sting courts publicity, see above, whilst Bryan is (undoubtedly) camera shy. 3. Sting is a reconstructed hippy whilst Bryan is a disciple of the avant garde. Remember Sting posing with that tribesman with the bad liposuction job, a self-styled ambassador for the victims of the rain-forrest. Well I also remember how an investigative team checked out his dustbin and found it full of bottles - clearly not destined for recycling - and aerosols. Strangely enough I could imagine Bry carting his empties down to the bottle bank. Bryan is hip, a true modernist - did I read he was the second rated UK buyer of contemporary art - but is at pains to keep his interest out of the public eye. 4. Even Bryan's worst lyrics (NYC in my opinion,) don't come near the abyss of "Da da da da" or "Roxanne." 5. Sting boasts about his "amazing tantric sex ability" whilst Bryan leaves his preferences (and performances) all to the imagination. The two ex-lovers of Byron who have confided in me speak in glowing terms of his dark, midnight hour predilictions, "we're chained and bound." 6. Sting's voice sounds to me like an adolescent screech whilst Bryan's is like, well, his tonsils have been marinated in sauterne, the larynx of love. 7. Sting dresses like a student while Bryan remains the best coutured man in Britain. The latter is, of course, my estimation but most fashion critics form a concensus that Lucy is the best dressed lady in the country. 8. Lastly, I just can't stand Sting's music. It's so portentous, so earnest. What a contrast with the charming insouciance of the Maesto's ouevre. There. I've said it. Sorry Sting fans. I'll go back to my Scritti Politti albums now. pip pip Martino - -------------------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 12 Nov 1999 04:59:39 EST From: GasHeart@aol.com Subject: [AVALON] Philly: Theater, Music, Film Issue #16 1. sinatra mural dedication 11/13 , 2pm 2. antique double lantern and classical/new music 11/20 - 11/21 3. open artists call for musicians/performance artists 4. open house artists' studios 11/13 + 11/14 5.

The Police were far more than Sting's band, though he was the perfect bass player/singer for them. Andy Sommers was very influential and maybe the 1st guitar played in a power trio that didn't play conventional guitar solos, if he did he solo, he usually played them with chords. I thought Stewart Copeland was best musician of the band, it was also his band. Sting was good as just another guy in the band, but on his own he's no Bryan Ferry. He's more like what Eric Clapton has been for the last 20 years, uninspiring, lifeless and just plain difficult to listen to.

Can't imagine they doing this to enjoy the team. BTW please vote for the not so obvious ones. Would you Believe would make a better final than another version of Editions of You. 2 Ferry is talking about doing a tour with Roxy almost every interview. 3 One of the reviews of last week mentioned a clue that Bryan gave after or before Do The Strand. 4 It's a money-maker of the first order! >MCM, a French music TV channel has just announced a Roxy Music temporary reformation. >Supporting the reedition of the remastered albums, Roxy should go on tour next year. >The information has to be confirmed, but has been presented as if this tour could be a test before studio future collaboration. >Do our British colleagues know more ? > >Luc > > > > > >-------------------- >To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: >unsubscribe avalon > - -------------------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 12 Nov 1999 13:58:59 -0800 (PST) From: Neil Ashar Subject: Re: [AVALON] mailinglist in a bottle OF COURSE you can draw parallels between Sting and Bryan, Kicki. Look at the (on paper) similarities: Both from Newcastle Both taught before stardom Both wrote love songs about an inflatable doll (So Lonely and IEDHAH) From the late 80's to the early 90's it seemed both released about the same number of albums, at which time it could be feared both would descend into the muck of "adult contemporary" -- and one of them actually did... Both bands (Police and Roxy) recorded their last studio album in the Caribbean, the former doing so at GOldeneye, Ian Fleming's house! Both bands broke up around the same time (83 to 85?) Anyhow. Sting is kind of distasteful to me, but his older stuff seems kind of suave to me still. And The Soul Cages seems to be a very moving effort. Neil - --- Noam Bronstein wrote: > Really? Oh.
