The original is and always will be a timeless classic. I remember hearing a bootleg of the 1979 tour around 1990 and felt that the version of 'Mother Of Pearl' on that tour had a groove that was very contemporary of the '90s (ahead of their time as usual). I thought then that it would make a good cover with that sort of groove. Little did I know Bryan was thinking the same thing and covered it similarly to how I imagined a band could do it in the '90s (Maybe having a father in the coal industry is not the only thing me and BF have in commen as well as our stunning good looks ;-)) I suppose if Bryan has to cover this song then he has to do it as different to the original as this. There was a plan to use the original on the film 'Basict Instinct' in 1991/2 but Bryan wanted to re-record it and make it more contemporary. The song was going to be used as a single to promote the soundtrack to the film and the 'Horoscope' album. As the 'Horoscope' album was not finished, it was decided that it was an all or nothing situation and the track was withdrew from the soundtrack. It first surfaced 'officially' on the soundtrack to 'Ordinary Decent Criminal' in 2000. This version was around 3 minutes shorter than the 'Horoscope' version at almost 9 minutes long. I would hope it is this longer version that is on the 'One Way Love' single and at least we are getting something that has never been officially released before. I would have liked to have seen the version of John Lennon's 'Whatever Gets You Through The Night' that Bryan recorded in the '90s used or some of the songs leftover from the 'Taxi' sessions to name a few options that could have been used as something new on the CD single. Maybe the next UK single???

There's already an instrumental version and an extended 12" remix was released when the song first appeared as a single in '85. The latter lets you hear stuff that's in the original but so quiet you might have otherwise missed it - the layers of guitar, the quieter keyboards, the thunder, even the rain beating against a window. During an interview with Richard Skinner at the time (on a Radio 1 mid-afternoon show curiously called Saturday Night Live) Bryan mentioned that it had been mix n of Slave to Love which finally made it to the album, after much thought. Now I've forgotten the value of n but it was high, certainly in double figures - perhaps in the 20s? Or perhaps my mind has inflated the value over the 17 years (it's hard to write that figure without wincing) that have passed since the interview was broadcast. Anyone have a tape of the show? I'd love to hear a mix that reduced the level of backing vocal and slowed the move of the song from cold to warm, from distant to intimate. The power of the remix (by Clearmountain, I think - I'm away from my records), the release of the single some time before the album, the cinematic beauty of Jean-Baptiste Mondino's promo clip, despite Ferry's misgivings over the idea of 'story' videos - all these remind me of how ambitious Ferry was back then. Slave went Top 10 in the UK, its promo posters seen almost everywhere. Bryan was also questioned about the fact that his voice was so low in the mix for Boys and Girls - he put it down jokingly to modesty and more seriously, wanting to hear the other players and not spoil the beauty of the music. That he chose Mamouna recently when making the comment about not hearing his voice when listening to the album has more to do with shrewd PR, I think, than anything else - too many people own and enjoy the previous albums but Mamouna was a relatively poor seller. At the time of Mamouna's release, he and Trower both mentioned that fact that Ferry's voice was higher in the mix and when I first heard the album, I was almost uncomfortable at the dominating level of the vocal, having become so accustomed to Boys and Girls and Bete Noire . I got used to it. (Girl of My Best Friend (from Taxi) had been notable for the same reason though I didn't end up liking that much. For me, Mamouna stands as Ferry's best work and by some way but I'll spare the patience of long-term subscribers by repeating the old reasons. Great to see the album get some appreciation on this list again.)

Thanks for the info, I must admit I missed the 12" somehow. If anyone has a copy - let me know. I'm sure a remix back then would be something acceptable. I just wouldn't want something way out done with it like a dance type thingy. I like it just the way it is on 'Boys and Girls'. I do like 'mamouna' a lot. I think it wasn't appreciated as much as it should have been back in 1994. Taxi is another album I like. I guess the first album you buy of someone might always be the favourite though?

Then Conan asked if he sang them in the inimitable Bowie fashion, and Bowie lit up and said, "No, but I could do, could't I," and began crafting Hickory Dickory Dock. It was really funny.

What's funny about this is that some folks are perceiving legitimate disagreements about the relative worth of an artist's material, the kind of "arguments" that one should expect and welcome on a discussion list, as "fighting," while not seeing the actual fighting as fighting at all! And speaking of the latter sort of "fighting": >I >only recall a very ugly razing recently and unfairly given >to Colleen who has the patience of an angel and the >fortitude of a granite castle.

Given how contentious people have been about Colleen's most mild suggestions (strangely, it seems like the milder the suggestion, the more vociferous the reaction), I'm surprised she hasn't turned over list administration to a consortium of Jimmy Vapor, Mr. Avalon, and Monquiboy.

They have tons of them for 11.88 or 13.88 for the one with the bonus disc!! There's been a lot of talk recently about if you play a CD over and over it will grow on you. Well, this is one of those CD's. I put this one up there with any of his albums from the 70's.

I picked up a copy of Andy Mackays Resolving Contradictions (1978 Bronze Records) recently thinking someone on this list might want it. So, if interested shoot me an email. Im selling it for what I paid for it, $10 plus shipping. I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked it. Its an instrumental album. It includes The Great Paul Thompson on drums and Phil Manzanera guitar solo on The Inexorable Sequence. A couple of the tracks would have fit nicely onto any Roxy Music albums as a closer. Anyway, to sweeten the pot, Ill include a CD-R copy of it that I cleaned up and tweaked a little. Email at andromeda_801@hotmail.com if interested. Thanks, Rod (Green Bay) _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon Avalonians on tour 2002: http://web.tiscali.it/cecilya/roxy/meetup.html ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Jun 2002 22:28:19 +0000 From: "Tracy Connell" Subject: [AVALON] BF Edinburgh Photos Hiya, Just a quick email to let you know I have uploaded some photographs I took at the Edinburgh Concert on 1 June 2002.

When Ferry's first band, The Banshees broke up and BF joined the Gas Board, the Banshees' drummer Bruce Lownes joined another Newcastle band called, coincidentally, the Jazzboard. Lownes alternated between vocals and skins with another Geordie teenager called Nigel Olssen...who was later to become Elton's long-term sticksman. Here's a picture of the Jazzboard: http://www.angelfire.com/ca/nigelfanclub/earlycareerpix.html A couple of years ago I had a correspondence with Lownes' son, who told me some of his father's recollections of that time, and assured me that his father had a cache of live Banshees tapes in the attic, including a show recorded at, from memory, Bedlington Town Hall. Maybe Ferry hasn't covered his tracks as well as he once claimed in an interview. Incidentally, Neil Hubbard once featured on an old Bluesology single called...Mister Frantic...
