They are sold under different titles - I bit and have a copy of each - they're identical. un abrazo, juan ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Nov 1998 07:38:26 PST From: "Leslie Brown" Subject: New Day, Clear Horizon & T&T >There is enough material for a partial CD 3. However, since there is >a chance of more TV appearances related to "Clear Horizon", I'm going >to wait to put it all together. > Eeep! I can't wait! BTW, according to the Sony Japan web page Clear Horizon is out TODAY in Japan! I love the cover of the single. Let's hope we get it here. Meg is absolutely right about the 'New Day/Prime Time' video. (although I'm sure most of you have already figured it out :) ) She is adorable. She also struck me as being really modest, particularly at the credits when she explains what a fairy tale the success has been for her. She kinda starts getting reallyfascinated with her hands as she talks about it . How cute! Finally, if anyone happens to know this, I would appreciate the answer: I just got the 1994 Japanese reissue of T&T and inside is a longish bio or story or something all in Japanese- does anyone know what this says, or is it a translation of the TSI program interview? I know it's a long shot, but I gotta try :) - -Leslie ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Nov 1998 10:03:11 -0600 From: Beverly Martin Subject: FINALLY!!! The durn Epic US site has updated the Basia page: On November 17th, Basia will release the new album "Clear Horizon- The Best Of Basia." The gifted contemporary pop-jazz singer who enchanted audiences around the world with best-selling albums like Time And Tide, London Warsaw New York, The Sweetest Illusion and Basia On Broadway returns this month with Clear Horizon-The Best Of Basia. Clear Horizon-The Best Of Basia is a 17-song collection featuring many of Basia's most beloved songs: "Cruising For Bruising," "Astrud," "Baby You're Mine," "New Day For You," "Time And Tide," and a live version of "Half A Minute." Clear Horizon-The Best Of Basia also features two exciting new songs, co-written by Basia and Danny White, including the beautiful, soaring title track, "Clear Horizon," and the lively, catchy "Go For You." Two other tracks, "The Waters Of March" (a tribute to the song's composer, Antonio Jobim) and the Christmas song "Angel's Blush," have never before been available in the U.S. There's the same cover art that Kevin located on Epic/Japan's site. Nothing listed on press appearances yet (all of it was about Celine Dion...), looks like they are still updating the site in regards to new album & single releases, so I couldn't tell anything about a single being released on the 17th. Maybe by Monday we'll have more info. I tried a call into Epic but again got a supercillious sycophant answering the phone (and completely unhelpful) doggone it! -- Bev ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Nov 1998 10:30:52 -0600 From: "Stelmar, Kimberly" Subject: smooth jazz concert I'll be going to the Dec 2 one in Cerritos, CA.

When I ordered it from VideoServe they called it "Prime Time TV" but when I received it the cover says "New Day." Strange! At any rate, it satisfied my yearning for Basia.

It is ready, except that I need to recapture the Arsenio interview, as my original version had bad problems with lip sync. Once you said you were having problems with that Arsenio interveiw. You asked if anybody had that. I do, but i cannot find it anywhere and am very PO'ed. I've looked forever. Bummer. On that same tape is Basia on Johnny Carson in about 1988 or so. I remember she looked ultra-nervous and that might have been her first appearence on US network television. can I buy these from you Ben? I'd really like to see what you have been donig for all these years. Also, I think Whipple930 (Mike) said something about a Telefunken U87 microphone. Telefunken is a German company that makes all kinds of audio equipment, for those of you who unfamiliar. Basia probably used one at some point for her studio vocal mic.I do not know what her microphone of choice is? When I saw basia in '88 and '90 she was using a Senheiser Microphone, not the 441 that Stevie Nicks always uses but the one called the "profipower"(?) 431?. Help me out here Mr.Lipman! U87's are very expensive and rare. U87's require +48 volts to operate the onboard preamp, I think. The U87 is also very acoustically sensitive. So much so it is said that "The U87 can pick up a mouse urinating on a cotton ball from a great distance". Frank Zappa makes mention of the U87 in his piece "crew slut" off the cd "Joe's garage". I personally am just starting to multi-track myself.(plug) My friend has just opened a 24track recording studio named BALLROOM. I want to learn the art of audio engineering. As soon as I get my first piece done i'll turn you all on to it. rambling away, tom ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Nov 1998 21:48:46 -0800 From: rrumsby Subject: Re: smooth jazz concert Do you have the telephone number for either the booking office or to make reservation (no pun intented) :) :) bfn BobR Dan Tartaglia wrote: > I won't be in Cerritos but I will be at the Mohegan Sun in Connecticut > on Dec 19th ... anyone else?
