What's your favorite Morrissey album?
An interesting philosophical poser. As they are all equally loathesome, there can, of course be no favourite.

Always wondered what was to have been on the Vigitone Smile box that got stopped by the whho figure before it could be released, and whether their source tapes were returned to Capitol/BRI/yrplace by those authorities? Or are they still sealed in evidence bags in a police warehouse somewhere?
I need to track down the Vigotone mastermind and ask him - last time I checked he was living in my home town.

Goodness knows if he is alive. But I remember him telling me that he a had a notebook telling in detail the Smile material he had in his possession. He via his persona Desmond Jones discussed the "Great Shape" tape years ago on Jon Hunt's Smile shop site. It would have been very wise to have contacted this character prior to Smile box being released.

GM are the intials of the Vigotone producer. He spent 8 month in confinement and paid over 50000 $ in royalties and penalties for his crimes. Over 600 bootleg box sets and CDS were confiscated in the raid that ended in his arrest but no source tapes. He put out a "sampler" from the forthcoming Smile box set called Heroes and Vibrations, Iwonder if he ever had the complete tapes that were planned for that box set. It would not surprise me if the source was "Desmond Jones."

I think Mike (MJP) is saying that there is a difference between the owner of the Vigotone label (initials G.M.) and the source of the tapes (initials G.B.).

Hi Lee, You know I always felt that somehow Alan Boyd and Mark Linett should have made contact with Desmond Jones if he is still alive. After all, he was an employee of Columbia Studios and literally saved tapes (Byrds,Stones,Buddy Holly) that were being thrown away in the dumpster. Maybe just maybe he has some of the Smile Columbia tapes that have gone missing.

Yes I got that Lee - the question I have is if the source of the Vigotone Smile tapes was GB or someone else. GM only produced the CD's from tapes he borrowed from other people.

To my knowledge, which is a good few years out of date, the proposed Vigotone box was never assembled.

Unless he asked for silly money, I'm thinking not, or we'd be listening to "GV" in true stereo by now.

Did Desmond Jones have a wife called Molly? Did Paul McCartney meet them?

During the last full lunar eclipse a small mole developed on my earlobe while I was picking mistletoe at midnight. To guarantee immortality and future fertility, should I now bathe in the blood of a thousand virgin dormice or would I be better off waiting for my exam results to see if I've got into university?
