Both v good, and quite different. The Bumbershoot concert version - fragrant US Avalonions please inform me what that is - is especially heartfelt and reverential.

JC seems to have fallen for the idea that M&S suspended BF's modelling contract due to the comments printed in the magazine intervew. He tells BF to cheer up as there should be no such problem preventing him from modelling for Hugo Boss given, he claims, that Boss designed the original Nazi military uniforms... _http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_chic_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_chic) Best wishes Richard Mills ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 May 2007 08:21:31 -0400 From: "Caledonia Controls Inc." Subject: Re: [AVALON] Best Roxy albums Filip, Way back in the 70's I visited Canada, where I now reside, and picked up a vinyl copy of "Roxy Music" which does contain Virginia Plain . The album was released by Atco, a Warner Communication Company and was originally released by Reprise Records. Unfortunately the album cover is not gatefold. I'm sure there may be a few copies floating out there that could be had, maybe on E-Bay or in some record stores.
