HW: DANGER ANDY G!!!!!!!!!!!(the fall and RISE of)

[Mike Coleman]

 While I owe you the HUGE apology and an extra favor from the STATES
ANDE!....it doesn't mean that if you don't stop teasing us with what you
have got that wont be supplied to your loyal supporting cast......that I'm
not grabbin' my secret British friend now emigrated, who will aid me to
cat-burgle ala Batman and Robin.....only 2 catmen, NO robin.....you'd have
to add another b.....


OH FOR THE RECORD....in some deleted forgotten email.....I now realize that
in order to visualize a 777 airplane dump....it would be Potty, or in fact,
pluralized it would be potties...........but NOT interchangeable as in
HIPPY or HIPPIE....which is all down to your choice......(I prefer the
former).....


So MIKE HOLMES......I guess after I swipe the cassettes, I'll be straight
over at the vacation property, so bring your CD burner!!!!!   but please
send the key straightaway!!!!!!!   directions too!!!!


Now Andy .....you know your a superior......but it's a thought.....ONLY a
thought....

you could take me.....me lungs all blackened and my fairground lights only
flicker on and off........for a moment or 2.......M C no E


  all dark and dead................












>interestingly enough......that phrase again tonight......the definitive

>CD - the official one on Windsong is in mono, and the bootleg 'Space Rock
>Live From London', while stereo, starts off with a weird mix whereby one of
>the instruments is hardly evident and does not seem to be from the same
>source even as the original Radio Broadcast (or if it is someone has done
>some funny things to it) - if I want to hear this in all its glory, I still
>play my tape of it, which incidentally was taped from a Canadian Radio
>Broadcast of the same concert rather than the UK one, although still from
>the transcription disc if I remember rightly. Years ago I suggested to Doug
>Smith that this and the subseqquent BBC Radio One In Concert hour-long
>broadcast in '88 would be prime candidates for CD issue, but nothing ever
>happened and they fell into the same black hole of EBS as the Jack London CD
>and the Brock '76-'96 (both of which I ended up with advance tape copies
>and, no, they are not for copying - a condition of getting these things -
>but that's just to say the music did exist) and the reissue programme for
>the old ones, all of which actually were given EBS cat numbers too (and I've
>got the sheet to prove it)
>Andy Garibaldi.
