As far as I know Ferry is currently working on the final mix. It would be fair to say that if it were to have been released now it would not have been able to have been promoted properly as no doubt he will be recovering from the recent tour. Many of the list members had indeed remarked that he looked tired towards the end of the tour. Surly it is better to wait and release it when Ferry is rested and fresh with the possibility of some supporting TV appearances or live shows.

The silver suit closely resembled turkey baking foil - the quilted type. Which in that heat somehow makes me think of giblets. Lee S With gravy? Ha! I loved the response. It made me hungry for a turkey sandwich ( sans the giblets). Anyway, I loved the silver suit. I wished I had one and wore it the night Roxy was in Chicago. As for his undies, maybe he was probably in a hurry to get on stage and forget he was not "ready" for the stage (as I'm sure all of you will never him forget it). I'm sure the hair was perfect though. For those of you who witnessed Bryan's temporary lapse of style, at least you had the opportunity to see it. I wish I could have been there. I like red silk boxers myself.

"Sunset" at mine. Dave N. As a special request for a friend, I made a tape of Psalm. We had a chat about music while he was alive and he told me he knew of Roxy Music ( gasp) and like that song in particular. When he passed in 1997, I remembered that conversation and gave the tape to his lover to be played at the service. Although most in attendance did not know who it was, it fit perfectly with the service. I can never hear that song the same way again. At my passing, I'd like Sunset to be played as well as I' Don't Live Today (Hendrix)- played very loud.

I also think technology has caught up with it, as it sounds more potent now on superior hi-fi, than it did 19 (!) years ago. I didn't love it then, but I do now.
