There I must disagree, allthough the booklet has a lot of terrified pictures, it contains where little written material of use. No lyrics, few intresting facts or a perspective of the group and its career. Even Motown, often careless about their back catalogue, has produced better boxes. I also disagree with the selection of tracks, and the running order, but that is another question.

In the first place (for the benefit of newcomers) it has to be said that some time in the recent past, someone involved with Bryan Ferry's camp took a dim view of a perceived profiteering of Horoscope from this list. (The archives are freely available; and anyone who wishes to actually read the dang things can see that this did not happen. This, in turn, led some listmembers to think that Bry has filled his camp with dingbats.) Nevertheless, people are naturally gun shy about the subject since the rumor had such ugly consequences. So when the subject of the unreleased album is raised, many folk onlist just whistle and look at the foliage. In the great pioneering spirit of Heather and Colleen, I gave Google a go. You can type all sorts of things into the search box... "bryan ferry horoscope" for instance will net you at least three tape traders' pages with said album listed. You'll probably learn more about it from them than onlist, such was the damage done by the rumors. I have also heard reliable reports from two record store owners and one guy at a show this year that a sale bootleg is circulating. I've yet to see it, and even though it's outside the scope of my own live music page, I am curious.

As a veteran of many years of searching the local record fairs in Glasgow I can honestly say that the dealers didn't seem to see much profit in stocking Roxy/Ferry cd's. Perhaps after the revival of Ferry's career and the Roxy reunion this will change. Like Grant I've yet to see a pressed cd of "Horoscope", but I wouldn't be surprised especially with the all too frequent issue of bootleg compilations form eastern europe. I've always found it amazing that so little of Ferry's unreleased material has actually sneaked out. There is enough stuff in the cans to easily fill 4 cd's. So far there only seems to be "Horoscope" and the Eno remixes of "The 39 Steps" which may well have been a semi-official release. Either the guys who make it their business to try and get unreleased material don't think there is not much of a market for Ferry material or as I am more inclined to believe Mr F runs a very tight ship where the studio is concerned. As for myself, I'll keep searching as no doubt will others on this list, but I can't help but think that I may well be wasting my time. Tom. ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 11 Aug 2001 14:43:48 +0100 From: "SIMON GALLOWAY" Subject: Re: [AVALON] NP 1981?1972/3 There was the Hallmark/Pickwick TOTP compilations and the rival collections on the Boulevard label.

It was all raves and MADchester by the time I was old enough. The only other option was "Barry Noble's Roxy" (a great time f'yuz) just up from the bus station.

I saw them just once--Chicago--and thought it was fabulous: memories to last a lifetime. Barely a week later, I saw Yes playing with orchestral backing and that was quite good too. Now for me, the party really is over, until that other much-awaited (for me, anyway) event, which along with the Roxy reunion has nearly put me over the edge: the December premiere of "The Lord of the Rings" movie. Regarding Horoscope, it was my understanding that it was the Horoscope sessions which produced Mamouna (after the record company saddled Bryan with a producer to get him back on track). Undoubtedly there were many tracks that didn't make the final cut, or made it in vastly altered form. But the huge question is, how on Earth did anybody manage to get copies of those songs???? As particular as Bryan is about spending so long to perfect an album that it takes 10 years to produce, it defies logic that he let rough cuts escape the studio. Also regarding the name "Horoscope", the first time I ever saw reference to it was in an article about Ferry in Stereo Review many years ago. If memory serves (and I'm pretty sure it does, since the name struck me as odd, and clever) it said the name of the new album was to be "Horrorscope". Was that a typo, an alternate name later ditched, or faulty memory on my part?

Roxy Music are the best band in the world......but U2 are most certainly the best live rock and roll band in the world. What a show - out of this world.

What do you think? I have prepared short histories of each of Ferry's cover versions here: http://www.roxyrama.com/miscellany/covers/coversofotherartists-frameset.html It includes most of the original artists, faithfully researched by our own Han Snijders. During my own research, I noted that a very high proportion of Ferry's cover versions were hits in the British charts during his time at University. For example in 1965 alone, The In Crowd, The Price Of Love, That's How Strong My Love Is, The Midnight Hour, Rescue Me, and (What A) Wonderful World (by Herman's Hermits) all charted and It's Only Love was released!
