Ultimate Collection: 1988

I could say that I miss the two different stand-alone versions of 'Guide me home', like I did (and someone else too) in an other topic, but I won't because obviously you didn't appreciated my additions there...[/QUOTE]

Not so:

I already ammended these in the 1987 thread, but I did not ammend under the 1988 topic heading. Careless of me I know - but I am only human.

I have now edited the above to include these corrections.

Getting worked-up over 'The', or 'Japan' or 'Japon' is not really my style. Yes, I will use a droll ironic wit to defuse the situation, but that does not mean that I am not interested or that I do not care.

Thank you for your kind answer.
And as I said before: No hard feelings and I appreciate your time & effort.

Likewise.

I appreciate the efforts of all those who are trying to push the envelope that little bit further.

What questions are those Alex?

Once again, great information, thanks a lot.

This is most interesting:

"Offenbach’s Tales Of Hoffman 1 & 2 - Unreleased: Home Mini-Disc"

Could you tell us more about those recordings? What are the exact titles of the songs and are those serious attempts?
Also, what about the pieces "1&2" by Chopin and the Bach-preludes?

I'm sure Hank that those pieces you mention are just Mike Moran messing about on the piano.

I don't know if you've heard The Girl From Ipanema, Misty and the Musical Excerpts 1-5 that John mentions (they're commonly available), but in those snippets it's clear that you've just got Mike playing around (rather brilliantly) on the piano with the others singing along.

These are two recordings from seperate sources. I guess the Chopin pieces one tape COULD be Mike Moran, but the Bach prelude on the other tape is definately not, as the second tape is 100% Freddie.

Wrong thread, silly question but that makes me Serry!

Is there any info about track "Olympia" by Brian and co-writer of TMLWKY - Frank Musker?

Nothing that I know of, apart from what it is stated at BMI's site.

Wilki, that means you won't help me with Freddie's "Juegale Apuestale" either?

"Juegale, Apuestale" is the Spanish title of the version of "Play The Game" by ATERCIOPELADOS which can be found on the Latin tribute CD called "TRIBUTO A QUEEN".

Thanks Wilki... Though it's still sad that you edit your reply about 'Delilah'...

the U.C's are always so well done and many of us look forward to these threads im sure.Nice work as always

Edit? What?

Damn edit button.
