Hello gain, Sorry I haven't been writing to the list for a while but I've been busy with Uni (yay!). Anyway I've been spending a fair bit on the latest releases (naturally), and I have to say that the video, singles and video are all top notch. JTH is definitely catchy, one of my flat mates asked to stop playing it for a day, and so he discovered the rest of the fine album. The ABBA thing last night was pretty crappy, but the excellence of the covers done by Culture Club and Madness (especially) more than made up for it. I have to say I've never really seen much to like in ABBA, but that version of Money Money Money was certainly a persuasive argument. The audience seemed to love it, which I would guess means that it is possible for the reformed Madness to make it big, though it seems they are happy enough as they are in many ways. BTW: I saw an advert on the telly last night for the album ABBA-Mania, which includes all the covers, and I think I may well buy it, even at as much as UKP12 or a bit more it would be worth it if you ask me, to be able to have such an outstanding Madness performance on CD. If they really want to make money for charity out of all that they should release a triple A-side, with one of the Steps covers and the Madness and Culture Club ones too. Anyway - enough of me! Oh, one more thing, I went to a record fair on Saturday and picked a (seemingly) rare Uncle Sam 12 inch. It has the song lyrics in Cyrillic (I think?) script on the back, and also the tracks Uncle Sam (ray gun mix), Please Don't Go and Uncle Sam (demo version). How much is it worth? -- Alex Ingram - e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 7624204 I am a Member of: *TEAM-AMIGA* AND Madness Mailing List(s) ******************** Keep Gates Clear! ******************** - ______________________________________________________________ Visit the Total Madness Mailing List website for: latest news, madmeet info, list charter, games, and more ... http://members.xoom.com/totalmadmail/ Contact the TMML Moderators at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and in the message body put: unsubscribe total-madness
