No one suggested it was a crime to promote work. Ever. But as one of the many who likes the MUSIC of Bryan Ferry, I find its short term exposure is at the expense of the longterm legacy if it's cheapened by answering questions from a lascivious Titchmarsh about the girls he dated, elbowed in the ribs by menopausal hasbeens who had his poster on their walls as teenagers on Loose Women, etc in order to promote it. Bryan Ferry is a serious artist. OK maybe not as serious as Brian Eno, but capable of appearing on programmes a cut above those with which he's lumbered. I do understand that seeing BF on our telly screens every night is wonderful and Avalonians abroad may wonder at my choosiness. But while it is marketing and it is promoting Bryan Ferry, it's akin to using product placement on Coronation Street to promote the latest perfume by Clive Christian or giving show guests on Jeremy Vile clothes by Versace and Prada to wear. It's not unreasonable for fans of BF's work to wish to preserve its integrity and not unreasonable for people not to care and get off on appearances on TV no matter in what context. But the sign of exasperation and studied sneer is not appropriate for a forum that permits and perhaps thrives on difference of opinion.

The entire Talking Heads back catalogue came out just a couple of years ago on DVD-A and in the last 18 months, anniversary editions of 'Station To Station', 'Tubular Bells' and 'In The Court Of The Crimson King' have been issued in multi-disc sets, featuring DVD-A surround sound mixes packaged alongside the regular CD remasters. It would be good to see the 'Avalon' SACD surround mix issued on DVD-A - perhaps an anniversary edition ? Of course, Blu-ray is yet to take off, so there will be an opportunity to buy this stuff all over again soon ... :) ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 09 Nov 2010 22:37:15 +0000 From: Richard Evans Subject: [AVALON] Later Well not sure what to make of that - two drummers (Tara and Andy newmark) two keyboard players (Colin and Jorja) two guitar players (Ollie and the Chester kamen) and four backing singers It was u can dance I was quite excited hearing it live Richard Evans ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Nov 2010 00:40:00 +0000 From: helen@triffidbait.ca Subject: Re: [AVALON] Later Sounds like the Grateful Dead.

He also went "stripped down" at the time of Frantic, with only two guitarists and Colin Goode for Don't Think Twice and Goodnight Irene on Later. Although we "Fans" would all enjoy that I think the wider veiwing audience may not and it would attract some pretty negative comments. I would like to hear Shameless!

Doesn't he usually do a 'stripped down' version of things on Jools? I'm sure someone can help me out here. I've got Positively 4th Street with an atmos guitar solo by Leo Abraham in my head, but that might be from elsewhere? So, what would lend itself to that? I would give my eye teeth to hear an unplugged Ferry and piano do Reason Or Rhyme a la The Only Face. The only reason I'm not falling over myself to elect it far and away the best thing Ferry's done in an age (and on Olympia) is purely down to 16secs. The 16secs of cod reggae that wreck the intro and then chugs meaninglessly under throughout (for me, The Bogus Man chug was a funk chug and the meat of the whole piece, this is just over production and pointless). The first chords that Ferry comes in with on piano practically break your heart and when I saw it as an instrumental extra on the remixed CD of the deluxe version of Olympia I thought my dream had come true to hear it more spatially aware and less filled. Unfortunately not. But Later might be the place? If not, a Ferry and piano Me Oh My might be on the cards as he's practically played it live in the guise of My Only Love.
