I just read this "new"... and remember how it schocked me that day, when I read about three musical losses: Jerry Goldsmith, and two others, both in France: Sacha Distel and Serge Regiani. It may sound unknwon for many people, but both were great names in musical panorama.

"Harmony" - Elton John "Surrender" -- Cheap Trick Please Mr Postman - Beatles the best.

Just one? Sticky Fingers - Rolling Stones Heartbeat City - The Cars Greatest Hits- The BEE GEES All the Beatles albums

"Ballad of Sacco & Vanzetti" Joan Baez "Sunday Bloody Sunday" -U2 and Plastic Ono Band

Tales from TO has the same line up I mentioned before. I checked it, it´s two albums, not three. The cover is great, but I found a copy at a friend´s place and I think it´s a little boring, not like Fragile or Close to the edge. Besides, both records 1 & 2 from Tales are more or less the same, so don´t worry and hope you´ll be REALLY lucky next time!

. Michael Stone wrote The Little Black Egg though. Mindcrime, in what album is "Little Black Egg"? I´m moving from my house to another, I´ve got all my vinyls in cases and I don´t remember that song. Thanks!

Jefferson Airplane (and some Starship) has been my favourite band for years, decades even. I admit they´re not the best, but Grace Slick is great.

Layla, of course! "I want to tell you" Beatles. "Living next door to Alice"I don´t know who sings this one, I wonder even if it´s "Alice"...

Gilla, it´s not German, it´s Dutch...

Sorry! Tales from TO also features Wakeman, anyway. Hope you´ll be really lucky next time, it´s easy to find this record. I had it when it was released but I don´t remember if it was two records... or maybe 3· No, I must be mistaken...

It´s Anderson - Squire - Howe- WAKEMAN- White. You´re lucky.

I know it was recorded in a couple of days and was the B side of "ballad of J&Y", but I never heard of who was playing. Try Google, there´s plenty of Beatle info in the web.

BEATLES, obviously. Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet band. Rolling Stones with Mick taylor.

Sonja Kristina, from Curved Air, was great by the time. And of course, Dusty Springfield.

Actually I never got any tape eaten by the walkman running out of batteries, though it happened to me hundreds of times on other cassettes. But once somebody gave me a tape where you were supposed to hear a phantom talking and insisted that I should listen to that miracle. I did it on my out-of-battery-reverse-walkman, backwards of course, and that was a speach from some politician. Anyway, I have no longer walkman now...

Try www.americanmusicclassics.com/songalp.htlm. They provide a P.O.Box and maybe you could get in touch with someone who could help you. Good luck! If ever I find any clue I´ll post it.

"Easy Come, easy go", Bobby Sherman.

"She´s my best friend" - Lou Reed "Frozen Smiles" - Graham Nash & David Crosby "Family" -The Rolling Stones "You´re ony lonely"- J. D. Souther "Positively 4th Street" - Bob Dylan "Obladi-Oblada" - Beatles

You´re welcome, TS! And Bluesboy too!

Check Psychedelich Furs

The Cars... They did only five albums and I don´t remember any cover. The Who covered "Summertime Blues" (Eddie Cochran´s? I´m not sure who´s the author).

"I will survive" -Gloria Gaynor "I´m moving on" -Rolling Stones "I´m free" -Rolling Stones

Oh, I guess it´s something most Engelbert Humperdinck style...

Try any tape in a reverse walkman. When you run out of battery it plays backwards. I carried a walkman for years and that happened to me many times with lots of songs and artists and I never could find any hidden message. Maybe they just don´t exist... maybe I did it the wrong way?

I always thought Elton John got "bones for breakfast in the morning, bones for dinner time" in "Social Disease (GYBR). Some months ago I found out he got "bombed". When I was a child I heard "Living is easy without clothes" (Strawberry Fields") when Lennon sung "living is easy with eyes closed"
