Frantic because the break-down of languid? Or maybe it has been the tea after all... A very good typeface, I think! The starkness of black on the left and a photo to the right represents, I think, the new aspect in the world of Ferry cover design. A *bit* like Eno's Discreet Music CD (not the original Obscure edition). Though, it has to be said, this is only the FRONT cover, not the complete design. Maybe on the back of the cover there is a picture of Bryan at 56, non-smoking, happy, middle-aged, who knows? It's probably best to judge the design of the whole CD album once it has been released.

I've been a "fan" since Roxy's inception way back in 1972, followed them, Ferry, 801 and The Explorers all over the world, but there comes a time when commercialism overtakes fanatisism. I used to spend fortunes buying singles, LPs, bootlegs etc. and have a pretty good collection of original material. I still spend fortunes buying their material! However, I cannot understand how Ferry can feel accomplished and expect respect and acknowledgement for his works when he has released only four (4) albums/CDs which are entirely his own penmanship, collaborated with others in some regards. Namely: In Your Mind Boys and Girls Bette Noire and Mamouna Every other official release has cover versions. I stand to be corrected and apologise where necessary. So, like the anticipation of Mamouna, I would like to think that our Bryan has penned enough original material to compliment one album/CD (I still have a turntable) which he can call his own! When you think of all the "collections" that have been released over the years, surely they are not that desperate for cash to entice saps like you and I to buy these "Greatest Hits", "The Ultimate Collection", "The Atlantic Years", "The Best Of....", "The Best of The Ballads",....... While admitting that Roxy's 2001 concerts were the highlight of my musical experiences since Simple Minds played Massey Hall, Ferry's Mamouna concert came close but....I think that we are due more than 5 or 6 original six songs, written with others, and a few more covers. Hopefully Frantic will give us bit more for our money than Ferry's usual 35 to 40 minutes of recordings that took him 5 years to put together! Thanks for your patience and understanding.......

I have received my copy of John O'Brien's "Glad To Be Back," a 2 CD audience recording of Roxy Music's first night in Dublin, Ireland in 2001. According to John: "The recording is fairly good and catches the sparkle from the crowd of the element of surprise before those smart b****rds with their websites started telling everyone about the shows." * I am delighted to offer "Glad To Be Back" to North American addresses only. If you would like to get this from me, please email your tradelist to me. You can also do a regular B & P if you can't trade. * The artwork can be found in several places on the web. I have it as well. You can download a 'zipped' file containing both the double-front and the rear insert in pdf format right off my webpage. * I don't burn "on the fly." I burn from WAV files that were extracted in secure mode with Exact Audio Copy. I don't use that Roxio junk -- hopefully any CDs you get from me will be as good as possible. * If you are interested in obtaining this from me, just send me an email off list and I'll provide you with the full particulars. * Enjoy the show!
