Does anyone know whether there's anything in the locker from 1972 to 1980? I guess if there's anything there, this is more likely to be Bryan's solo stuff. Back in 1980, Bryan said that he tried to put out an album every year. He said it was a discipline he set himself, partly to stop himself becoming too self-indulgent and taking 2 or 3 years to make an album. Even back then, he said he found it increasingly difficult to come up with new material and was always wary about repeating himself. So can we take a vote on whether the lack of released original material in the last decade is due to Bryan having written himself out? ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2001 07:50:16 -0600 From: "Prince of Happiness" Subject: Re: [AVALON] I Put a Spell On You >Hey Prince.

Yet more evidence that I'm getting old - I'd completely forgotten about that, despite being in the audience at The Brixton Academy.
