++++ HW: Covers All Final Call/ Studio album

[Andrew Garibaldi]

Yes- I did didn't I. Still better to say something and be wrong than say
nothing at all, I always say.
I think you might have missed the point of what I was getting at here - but
then I probably put it badly anyway.
C'est la vie

You said a mouthful!  BÖC fans were the absolute most patient in rockdom,
back in
the day.  They always took FOREVER between albums, and EB would  tease us at
concerts, saying the new album was coming in a couple months etc.  And this
was
when they were signed by Columbia, and were on top of the world.  Then, a
year
later, we'd see the new album!  It got to be an inside joke with us loyal
fans.  EB was
almost even winking when he said it--I guess, you couldn't tell for sure
with those
shades!
