| > 3. Ultimate II > From: Green, Laurence > > Obviously, it's not aimed at the people here, but at > the casual concert attending fan. Really? I would have thought the casual concert attending fan would be perfectly happy with one of the 94 greatest hits compilations out there. And the only people likely to be interested in a whopping great 3 disc set of protracted remixes and obscure B sides would be the people here. And not even many of them frankly. In fact I find it a mystifying release all round. Like you say, if your only target audience is going to be obsessives (no offence, but some of you are) then at least put a few other unreleased tracks on it. > New Level 42 CD - yawn, I've got to agree. Now that's a curious one. Surely it has to be a positive step that Mark King is at least in the studio creating new material? It might not be a perfect scenario, but it's better than nothing isn't it? > 4. Oxford, Where Are You?? > From: Cliff &Debjani Barua < > > Andrew, You missed my first bloody post in about 3 years Language Timothy. > What division are Oxford United in now - the Vauxhall Conference or summat?? I think it's still called League Two for this season, but I'm lobbying for it to be renamed the Super League for next season, and the Hyper League the year after that. > You also missed something I used to > enjoy about this Digest - an Italian fan who wrote > beautifully of his visit to two of Mike's concerts. At the point that I left nobody had written anything beautifully for months and months. > Being a father of two, I must be going soft. (I'm > still about 3 kids behind you, right Andrew?) I have retired at four. Any more would be showing off. > Oh yeah, I also wrote about The Nightfly DVD-A Is this the one with the wonderful video to New Frontier on it? > 5. Is it worth re-subscribing? > From: VGill Computer Troubleshooters < > > hhhmm I was wondering the same thing Andy Who? Is it OK if I call you Vi? > Why? you might ask, why is it worth > re-subscribing after seeing my name? Well Andy, you > sir, are a very big part of this digest. Nice though it is of you to say so, I'm happy to report that this is cobblers. At the point I unsubscribed someone said something very similar to me, and I said to him that nobody would even notice I'd left, and so it proved. Furthermore, with four responses from 485 subscribers I make that an approval rating of around 0.8% - even George Bush manages slightly higher than that. The silent majority lives! But, for the time being at least, sod 'em. > 6. quick answers > From: Stephen Whyte < > > well, nobody has asked what Mark is mouthing in the > SAY video or wondered if Mike is gay this year... But those were the only reason I stayed! That's it, I'm off. > of course it is - i've missed you. x Blub... I'm coming over all Gwyneth Paltrow... (in the nicest possible sense). AG PS What kind of stupid name is 'The Ultimate Collection II'? Don't they know what ultimate means? ___________________________________________________________ How much free photo storage do you get? Store your holiday snaps for FREE with Yahoo!

Even collaborating, I really think that any attempt Mark makes to be current and commercial will be destined to failure, even before its launch. Witness ONE MAN, an interesting attempt, but not his best work, let's face it. On the other hand, I really like most of the songs on TRASH, so just following his own muse is probably his best shot at any kind of success. Of course, what he should do is poll the fans. We know best, after all. ;o) Don Z | ||

| The irreverent Loz Green wrote (and I cut & paste): "Obviously, the best Level 42 compilation CD is 'On The Level' as it is the only place in the world which contains the full version of 'Standing In The Light'..." The regular album version of SITL is 3:42. The On The Level version is 3:52 or, according to my iTunes, 3:55. Either way, I don't get how an extra dozen or so seconds qualifies it as 'the full version'. Have I missed something or were you taking the piss, Loz?
