I think your sony is the problem, not the disc. Sony players are very tempermental, and sony is kow to foul things up with their own proprietary software.

I never relished the stuff featuring the big horn section (no offence to you "big horns" out there - ooh err missus) but just the one sax (Mrs. Wembley) - now that was class. The two-guitar thang was good, too.

Any advice? For starters, be sure to grab AWB's two live CDs: "Person To Person" (1977) and "Face To Face" (1997). They're a great band to check out live. Also, there's the classic "White Album" (1974) and of course the "Greatest Hits" CD, "Pickin' Up The Pieces (1974-1980)". Honorable mention: "Soul Searching" (1976). Check out www.averagewhiteband.com for more info, including tour dates. Hope this helps...

At any moment however, our economy could get really bad, orthe nation needs something to unify over, or any of a number of reasons the U.S. deems it necesarry to have a little war, canada would become a province of the U.S., so while you are right, you are only right out of the goodness of our governments heart. If I were a canadian citizen, I start memorizing the star spangled banner. >> Uh-oh, them sounds like fightin' words. Yes, Neil Peart is Canadian, and the list is "Americanized" (whatever that means), but as an American, I must still stand up for Canada. Canada is Canada with or without the need for the good graces of the United States of America; an American invasion of Canada and subsequent annexation would be, as an understatement, highly unlikely and extremely impractical. Furthermore, Level 42 has always had more support in Canada than they ever did in the States. And, ONE of the reasons why Canada is a sovereign nation is that Britain allowed the provinces to form a confederation in 1867 in reaction to the recent Union victory in the American Civil War and out of fear that the United States may have had designs on expansion northwards. The final word on Canadian sovereignty came in 1982 when the Canadian Constitution was repatriated to Canada with the "John Hancock" of the Queen (Constitution Act of 1982). By that time, the only trans-border invasion was of all those Canadian actors going south to L.A. and all those Hollywood production companies going north to film on-location in Vancouver and Toronto. A past survey showed that a greater percentage of Canadians knows the lyrics to "The Star-Spangled Banner" than Americans do. Kinda shows you who may actually be in-the-know. At least this here American knows the lyrics to both the English AND French versions of "Oh, Canada" as well as all four verses to "The Star-Spangled Banner". Rock on, Canada!

Apparently though, you didn't even know about #12!!!!!! (SROTFL) >> You must be referring to the fact that Zachary Taylor had refused to take the oath of office on the Sabbath (Sunday), so the Vice-President, Atchinson, had to step in until the following Monday. So, yes, Atchinson was President for a day, but really only a substitute President. We don't seem to count him in the rolls, though, since he was never elected as President. On the other hand, neither was Ford, but that's another story. Anyone know the significance of Level 42's mention of "America was calling me" in "To Be With You Again"? Was this the group's acknowledgement of their desire to break the US market, or something else completely unrelated?
