Kate sang Roy's song "Another Day" as a duet with Peter Gabriel in her December 1979 UK t.v. special. She then dueted with Roy himself on his 1980 album The Unknown Solder, on a song called "You (The Game Part III)." Then ten years later she provided backing vocals on the song "Once" from the album of the same name. Re-lurk.

From NME: http://www.nme.com/features/story.htm?ID=108517 'Made To Love Magic', an album of rarities, remixes and an un- released song 'Tow The Line', the last song Nick Drake committed to tape prior to his early death in 1974. 'Made To Love Magic' also includes mainly alternative versions of some of the cult singer's classic songs. You can listen to the album here, before release, by clicking on the link below, with different tracks becoming available every day over the next week.

The guitarist, 40, was rushed to hospital earlier this month (MAY04) when he woke up to discover he couldn't breathe and doctors soon discovered a tumour. The RUNAWAY TRAIN group's manager JAKE WALESCH said Mueller was back at home in Minneapolis, Minnesota, after a hospital stay and is doing well. Walesch says, "He's got a lot of energy. He's feeling pretty good." The band have postponed recording their 10th disc until July (04). ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 May 2004 18:44:11 -0500 From: "Fortissimo" Subject: Re: Anyone have any useful advice?

This is by Go Home Productions, who have a lot of very fine mashups on their website (I think it's the obvious URL, but searching the name will bring it up pretty readily). I'm surprised this was on a (presumably commercial, or you wouldn't be surprised) radio station - so the lawyers aren't circling shark-like over the rights to that?

I once went through an absolutely fanatical phase of listening to "This time tomorrow" which isn't even a Roy Wood composition. If they ever play anything by the Move on UK radio, it's usually 'Blackberry Way', which I'm not that struck by. - - Mike "Mister Can You Hear Me?" Godwin PS Beware of a cheapo CD I picked up last year which included a much inferior 'live' version of Cherry Blossom Clinic. PPS re Roy Harper: I'd forgotten all those songs like 'McGoohan's Blues' and 'I hate the white man' - not bad actually. The only ones that ever made any impression on me at the time were 'Nobody's got any money in the summer' (which was on one of those 'Rock Machine' samplers) and 'Hell's Angels' (which I once saw him sing at a festival). ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V13 #151 ********************************
