Before the concert started we saw Jimmy Nail come in and sit in the audience to see Bryan. I know what you mean about Bryan's voice and stage performance. I think Elvis did have and influence on him - especially knowing he did some covers of Elvis songs. I have an Elvis CD with quotes in a little booklet and there is one by Bryan which says about Elvis, "Everyone in rock and roll including myself was touched by his spirit - I was and always will be a fan." This is in the 'Artist of the Century' Boxed Set. Anyway, some general information - I suspect everyone on the list knows this, but there may be one or two that don't, but there is an extra song on the CD single of 'As Time Goes By'. It's called 'If I Didn't Care'. It's another 30s number (obviously). >From: "Robert Whiteford" >Reply-To: avalon@smoe.org >To: >Subject: Re: [AVALON] Music on the Line/Let's Stick Together. >Date: Tue, 11 Jan 2000 19:07:45 -0000 > >Tracy, > >Which concert did you go to ? > >As for Bryan's voice all I really meant was that it isn't always forward >and >strong.

I think the presenter is Andy Peebles (a British DJ). An interesting selection of 1 hour duration and made up of half music, half chat. Tragically, my C90 cut off after 45 minutes and I obviously wasn't present in person during the taping, otherwise I would have turned it over! Anyway, if anyone wants to know, the track listing for the section I have was: Bryan Ferry "My top ten" Radio 2 Andy Peebles? Date: ?? (Mentions Live Aid so probably shortly after that also Marvin gaye's death "2 years ago.") 1) Prince "Kiss" 2) Velvet Underground "What Goes On" 3) Detroit Emeralds "Feel the Need" 4) Marvin Gaye "What's Going On" 5) Bob Dylan "Mr Tamborine Man" 6) Shirley and Co. "Shame shame shame" ("Shame on you if you can't dance too", not the one BF covered) 7) ? 8) ? 9) ? 10)? I can knock up a transcript of what I have if one doesn't exist yet and anyone is interested (are you listening, Kicki?). I want to made sure no-one else has done it first, though, as my typing is not lightning fast (even though it should be a labour of love!).

The title is STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL. Why ..... read and you will know. First I have to thank Chris Turner who brought in most of the stuff and someone anonymous who sent me three very special songs. This boy or girl send me three studio outtakes of Roxy on tape. The demo's are sketches of the songs, Ferry isn't really singing, but he is doing a kind of hmmmm to find the way the lyrics must fit in the songstructure. Some snippets of lyrics. On one he is singing 'Round in circles which is a premature 'Is your love strong enough'. Before you all start the discussion who has sent this...READ THE NOTE HE/SHE SEND ALONG WITH THE TAPE: "As you can see there are 3 rare and previously unheard tracks been donated to the project. The Avalonian who gave these tracks would like to remain anonymous and would like you to enjoy the tracks and would like you to hear how Bryan worked at this period. Discussion of the tracks is inevitable and would be rather interesting, but the listmember would appreciate that there are no discussions or guessing games about where they came from, this is the maincondition for these tracks being given to the ASSH2 project and your appreciation for the tracks that are making this the CD of all CDs can be shown by respecting this wish by not discussing their origin." As you can see it is all STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL One clue...The tape was wrapped in a white sock to prevent it against any damage. I filtered out the noise, rebalanced the channels and brought the soundlevel to the same point. I cut and paste each performance in a way it sounds as one performance even when it was broadcast in snippets like the Net Aid performance. The sound quality of most of the songs is excellent. I had some problems with the LA concert. There where little dropouts in the sound and I worked hours to get the final result. Chris send me a tape...a cdr and then again the original tape. I used the best parts and then start repairing it. The other Highlight: the two songs of the Twiggyshow. They had a very bad soundquality "more noise than voice". The result on the cd is almost hundred percent better than the tape but still it is only interesting for fans. It has that unique early seventies anorexiasound. Hope you enjoy it all.
