Chris..the decision to edit the WM album was done by the record company, who Saw this LP as way to break the boys in the states. In particular it was that guy Frank in marketing. Who actually picked the tracks is beyond me, but rumours Point to Sally…picking The Chant, a song that wasn’t
a hit in the Her. ;-)
I don’t think both cd’s were released in the The I never did by the The try to maximize and artists exposure in the states. I recall them doing it With Robbie William…they combined his first 2 Here, and the result was…you guess it, a combination BOMB!.
I saw a few of the Winwood/L42 gigs, and recorded the Gig if u are interested.

I imagine that you feel that way mostly because the US version is the one you became familiar with first, so it's burned into your brain. Too bad there isn't a way to erase bad brain patterns like that. :o) I think Polydor blew it, mucking with the track list and substituting the True Colours songs. To my ears, True Colours and World Machine are such stylistically disparate works, the transplanted tracks sound out-of-place. The original UK version of World Machine, to me, is one of the great pop albums of all time, absolutely perfect as it is. Of course, I must admit that I (by stroke of luck) bought the UK version first, so it's the one that got burned-in. JMHO - Z. | ||

I'm just wondering,
If any of you ever heard of Primus, and the bassist
Les Claypool, in my opinion he's quite a slapper himself. I just got back to
listening to one of their songs "Tommy The Cat" and it displayed an uncanny yet
impressive bassline, for a funk rock-ish tune, that is. He does sing and play at
the same time, although he sings more comically and sometimes offbeat. We often
associate such singing and playing talent with our beloved bass god Mark King.
But singing offbeat and incoherently, maybe that takes a bit of a screw loose,
and slapping on a six string at that. So does anyone here think that he fits in
our list of favorite bass players, or is he just another doofus we could all
care less about?
Regards,
Mizi
