When do you pretend that this faux album be released? In the year 2025? It's a darn fine collection (BB King!

Is that really true???? No slur on Pulp, a good band certainly, but doen't this have a bit of an echo of "Bryan Ferry is producing the new album by Icehouse"? Just joking, but it's hard to believe... Although the result of the Scott/Pulp collaboration could be utterley interesting. I hope it'll be better than most of This Is Hardcore (excepting the wonderful title track). It's a shame that the Walker/Eno/Fripp collaboration didn't take off in the 80s.

Yup. It was going to be some other big name (I forget who) but they sacked him because they didn't like what he was doing to their work and got Scott in instead. > Although the result of the Scott/Pulp collaboration could be > utterley interesting.

I've had a huge increase in the number of hits in the last three days, is there something I should know? Roxy haven't reformed have they? :0) Glad to see there's still some life in Avalon, I was beginning to wonder. Good work by JO'B for kicking off a new thread. There are of course a number of existing tribute records, details on my site. Here's a new one I came across recently, and still to be added: http://www.pretentious.net/The_Edge/discographies/hulme/pink.htm check out the name of the last track...
