I couldn't get any more out of him!! BUT I WILL!! i'm enjoying your comments rob, so thanks for that. and - i'd hate to stir up false hope - and it may be a pipe dream (or nightmare - depending on your perspective [reunion, that is]), but with the momentum currently ... i'd cautiously say 'anything goes' for the future. that is - a forseeable two-year window of the future or so. but then - what do i know? *don't answer that* from kickiG: >I recently discovered that I have a Sinatra-compilation with Ol' Blue Eyes >doing Where or When, but it doesn't even come close to the wonderful >vulnerability (sp???) of Ferry's version. oooh-oooh ... but can we really compare the two? [cosa nostra or no -- well, OK - *yeah* - (but he even got a medal from that nice man mr. reagan ...)]. anyway, they both do the _style_ thing, n'est-ce pas? >I know I've said this before, but Where or When really really REALLY is one >of Ferry's best songs ever. he sang it with so much feeling here in detroit; it was definitely one of the highlights of the night. almost - dare i say - breathtaking ... lots and lots of feeling. from rob whiteford: >I've seen the album officially chart at number 11 whilst his record company >who are "keen to restablish him as a major recording artist" put him at no >24 in their own shops and 18 in the Our Price chain they own. >They weren't that keen to re-establish him when they knocked back Horoscope >and their reaction to ATGB can be judged by the fact it came out on their >Dutch or German subsidiary. So no I don't think they believe in him - I >really don't. You couldn't buy the atgb single outside major town >recordstores. well, whether virgin or EMI own the stores - and so on - there's something odd going on - to some extent. *why* would they put atgb out - farm it out to the german subsidiary - then (contractual or not) get behind him (to the level they *have*) now w/'STL' (etc.)? i put it to you people - is it not somewhat bizarre? does this mean he's with virgin for the next studio release? i just shake my head (but i will stop well before it starts to hurt ...). 'casanova' playing from 'avalon ballroom' and i'm *digging it*. a big thanks to those involved ...! btw, still waiting for those concorde air tickets - along with the billets for castle howard. geez - doesn't someone over there have MR. lawn's ear!? not holding my breath/ms p.s. - anyone know if 'this love' is due to be released as a single in the states? ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ___________________________________________________________________________ Come to Las Vegas and hear the indestructible tagline sing selections from "The Jazz Singer" !

The World's turned upside down! Newsletter no.16 Carried full track and release information about both the STL and The forthcoming Roxy compilation. I got my copy 4-5 weeks ago, I guess you didn't get yours (which is another story altogether....) Cheers Chris Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2000 22:15:50 GMT From: "Kate Maley" Subject: [AVALON] info service with all the recent discussion about the information service, and it's defence, the back-up by the record company, or as i see it a lack of, it has become apparent once again that the information service has failed by not putting out a news letter re. the new slave to love compilation and its new song prior to its release. kate ___________________________________________________________________________ Come to Las Vegas and hear the indestructible tagline sing selections from "The Jazz Singer" !

Jas, Thank you for the JH update. We did a quick breakfast survey, & unless something has happened, it appears that B.B. King is from Memphis, Tennessee, not Texas. We even had a few participants in the survey volunteer to go to Memphis & make sure Beale Street, the ribs & the Peabody's ducks are all still there...(funny how no one mentioned Elvis). Have a great day! I KNOW BB is from Memphis. I never said he wasn't. How did you infer I said differently? I just happened to mention ZZ Top and then made a reference to BB. They are from Texas not him.

No doubt we'll be told the Information Service is merely pining for the fijords. Subscription to these mighty pages, however, will continue to prepare you for first day purchases of all new material, front row seats at all performances, stimulate you with talk of a forthcoming avante garde "raucous" rock 'n' roll release, take Doc Matan's daily medicine ("this'll only hurt a bit,") heave at Ivor's latest prog-rock recommendation, and, mais naturalement, receive all local weather bulletins from Texas.
