"For my 14th birthday years ago my parents very kindly bought me a lavish Queen boxset called "Box of Tricks". Within literally about a minute of owning it my dickwad of an older brother attempted to open the pullout drawer within the elaborate packaging by trying to lift it up, thus ripping the entire left side of the box. I still haven't forgiven him."

He did you a favor.  You should embrace him.

Yes.

Probably around LA.

I can give you ten RELEASED tracks from later than LA that I'd miss:

Where We Belong
Somewhere Near Japan
Still Surfin'
Strange Things Happen
Santa Ana Winds
It's Gettin' Late
Keepin' The Summer Alive
California Dreamin'
Male Ego
She Believes in Love Again

And some of those I'd only just miss. The again, there's very little I'd  miss on MIU (Pitter Patter, My Diane, maybe Winds of Change and maybe Woncha Come Out Tonight - at a push.)

I'm sure I read this on this board a few weeks ago.

Not fair!

Now I've got to go out and find me a girl called Rhonda!

Looking forward to it - as I have been for years... 
Seriously, there are a number of songs on the stuff released so far that would vastly improve the 85 album, Still Cruisin, SIP, KTSA, MIU and LA (which is the least offensive of the whole bunch, thanks to Dennis' songs and Good Timin')

I prefer the first album, but I'm not a great fan of either.  Love Hurry Love and Heaven's okay.

Thanks. So what was it recorded for?  The ongoing stuff with Beckley and Lamm? How come Al's using it for his album? Is Al the writer?

Great stuff.  Anyone got a link to the David Marks version when he toured with Mike and Bruce a few years back?  It's also very good.

If it's ever released...

Where's the 'new' track (not Don't Fight the Sea) with Carl's vocals from?

Luther...?

Stunning show - only about half full, however.

 An embarrassment.

I fucking hate Queen.

Mike holding the note for Be True and his singing of Everyone's in Love were the low points of two excellent BB shows i saw in Europe a couple of years back

"The upcoming Queen reissues have raided the vaults"

f***, no!

Thanks.

I was being lazy. I do that now and then.

Terrible that his family have been saddled with ludicrous medical bills.

But what was his connection to the Boys?

"Yes… the video is pretty darn awful."

Helps if you're a bi-polar contrarian with an ego problem

Wasn't it Brian and Carl who worked on Manson's recordings rather than Dennis?

"Paul McCartney's Ram"

One of the few Macca solo efforts that is quite warm and that I can listen to all the way through.

Hope he's not having a Tea Party...

Maybe it was the word 'minstrel' that prompted some doubt in AGD's mind.  Did with me.

Thanks.
