GET ON BOARD THE GRAVY TRAIN is one of the weekest songs they ever produced (only just beaten by MICRO KID - sad sad). Well Paul Doody can't even get the name of the song right!!!!!! Who talks Crap now???? He once told me that Micro Kid reminded him of me... He hated the song.

From: Marcus Bone Date: Tue, 3 Jun 1997 11:38:13 +0100 Just to let you all know - I've thought of a great way to get inside info on Mark King. As we all know his dad Ray is a prison officer on the Isle of Wight - so all you need to do is commit a crime - get sent down for it and bingo. You'll have access to Ray for 24 hours a day. Not you, not me, Only memory [Aha! Now that you mention this, it does seem a bit peculiar that we haven't heard anything from Loz in months!! Just think of the juicy information that he's witholding! -Eric] ------------------------------ Subject: Instrumentals From: P.Doody @ uk22p.bull.co.uk Date: 03 Jun 97 14:49:27 +0200 Yeh ok so I got the All Over You title wrong (Thanks Bruv!) - but like I said - I forget things easy. Is there anyone else out there that think they can never better the instrumentals they produced in the early jazz-funk days ? DuneTune & 88 to mention but 2 of my favourites. No words to remember you see. Has my brother (Jonathan) told you about the matching Level 42 tattoos we've got yet ? No ?? There's a surprise! LOL Paul.X. ------------------------------ Subject: THE CD's From: bmiller @ abbeywood.com (Bill Miller) Date: Tue, 3 Jun 1997 16:28:36 +0100 (BST) Levelheads Although I have replied personally to everybody, I'm really sorry to all the guys who requested the CD's. Dennis, Pat, Joseph, David and Marc. I will keep on the CD hunt for you all, As I promised before any CD's I pick up second hand will go out free to members of the digest. Sincere apologies once again Bill Miller BILLY'S GONE ------------------------------ Subject: AYGB, P&P, the CD-R! From: Zaphod Beeblebrox Organization: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Date: Tue, 03 Jun 1997 11:13:24 -0500 Mornin' all! Well, with yesterday spent doing nothing but the computer, I think I've gotten it all a-working. And you know what that means? I'm back in the burning business! (collective sigh of relief) For those of you who'd like their very own copy of AYGB, just drop me a line (with AYGB in the subject), and I'll respond to you with the info. One big favor I'd like to ask of you fine people, though. . . If anyone has the canned AYGB/P&P info sheet that I'd been sending, would you please be kind enough to forward that on to me. As the final blow count was made, I lost all of my email from 11.12.96 to 5.28.97. That'll teach me to go more than a few weeks without backing up! Later all!

So, there you have it, John V ------------------------------ Subject: May I correct _you_ Mista Chuck From: John Venzon Date: Tue, 3 Jun 97 12:50:56 -0700 First said: >>> Hey John V. where did you get the live songs from Guaranteed? Was there >>> ever a live CD issued from the Guaranteed tour? Then I said: >> Yes indeedy there was a live disc issued from the Guaranteed tour as well >> as a full concert video (Called for some strange reason, "Guaranteed >> Live"). Then Chuck said: > May I intervene? I believe it was a Laserdisc, not a CD. But I could > be wrong. Then I am saying: I think that things might have been muddled between L.A. and over there in Chuckville. They are two different things. They are: 1: CD5 from the Guaranteed tour. It has the live tracks that are included on the first live disc and 2: Guaranteed Live LaserDisc from Japan. It is a full live performance from that tour, with Jakko on guitar, Gary on drums, Mike on keys, the Henpecked Horns and Mark King on electronique quatro stringo bassoprofundo. Two different performances; one silly name for the bass guitar. John V ------------------------------ Subject: Spice Girls Video From: bb007 @ webtv.net (Brad Byers) Date: Tue, 3 Jun 1997 14:35:13 -0700 Vince, According to MTV, the Spice Girls video utilized clever editing (3 edits in all) to give the impression of one single shot. Brad in Vegas ------------------------------ Subject: about bootlegs From: beezer Date: Tue, 3 Jun 1997 23:21:42 +0200 (MET DST) Hello all, Just letting you know that I have about 40 concerts on tape (1980-1991), So steve and any one else feel free to contact me so we can exchange them. I really would like to make my collection bigger (I'm looking for good fm-sounboard recordings). Or make my collection for the use of the digest burners. About these seperate songs (from gigs all over the world in all these years) on a cd, just burn a cd from a good concert with good audio quality. If you make one cd per year you have a review. (I' ve got it all except a cd burner) > I'll leave you with this: > Does anybody think Culture Club is similar to Level 42? Hey chuck listen up: Has Moazart something to with Ruud Gullit.

I want to be able to print them up in colour and make a framed print. "Every generation sees it their own way, never learning their lessons, making the same mistakes again..."

From: McClain120 @ aol.com Date: Tue, 3 Jun 1997 20:45:10 -0400 (EDT) First of all I think I could come up with a pretty good video treatment for "THC". I don't know if a video exists but this is my latest fav. I think it would be a challenge. My favorite videos are probably "Take A Look" and LMN (and probably SAY). I think LIL is a cool video. Not very creative, but I enjoy it nevertheless. John V., Good luck and save me a copy. I think the lineup of songs is great. Put me on your list and reserve my copy!!!!!!!!! Restaraunt talk: OK, here we go!! "Freedom Someday" being played on the tape at our local Steak & Ale. And, I heard "Guaranteed" at Bennigans recently. Peace, Bobby Vallecillo ------------------------------ Subject: Starting again.. From: "Randall Collins" Date: Tue, 3 Jun 1997 20:23:52 -0500 Just in case anyone was wondering where I was (Who's Randall?), I just signed on with a new ISP, AT&T Worldnet (does anyone have this provider?) and I've been getting it setup with all kinds of things. I just got a new multimedia PC as well so I've been busy with that too. Not that I have anything interesting to contribute to the digest but I know there's been a couple of people out there looking for me. I'm also REALLY getting into midi stuff too. Sean? Zak? I might be picking your brains from time to time about this. Matt? You're still the man in the computer realm too. Dave Brown has also been a help. Thanks. Trillian: Can you give me your email address again? I'm still working on the tape. Sorry it's taking me so long. TALK TO ME! : ) Right, then!

CA MOCKE" <9413693 @ narga.sun.ac.za> Organization: Stellenbosch University Date: Wed, 4 Jun 1997 08:51:37 +0200 Hi...... I read in a some previous digest that a lot of subscribers on this digest are bass guitar players. I am an average to good keyboard player but I would like to learn playing the bass guitar to for my band. Is there any good bass guitar brands anyone can recommend? What brands do/did Mark King use; are they internationally available? Also, is it hard to learn bass by yourself or should one take lessons and/or buy books. I read somewhere Mark King learned by himself in a music shop after hours. How long does it take to learn playing at an "average" level(!) ? Any help is appreciated!!

Shame I didn't go with him, all those questions I could have asked him!!! I drive past his house every day and be assured if I see him I will get the facts and find out what is happening with him and Mark etc etc. (I will of course mention the digest to him Eric!) Any of the digesters have any specific question for him if I see him???? Bill Miller P.S. He had a couple of clothing shopping bags on him and went into the Post Office!!!!!! BILLY'S GONE
