I have a copy of a cool bootleg from the 1987 Radio KAOS tour.  It was 
certainly better than the bootleg I used to have from the Hitchhikking tour.
He did more classic Floyd stuff and the story of "Billy" is told much better
than in the original album.  Sorry I don't have the titles or the lable.

Actually, non-Americans get into the Hall of Fame quite frequently and
easily.  Certainly the best-known inductees of recent years have been
more British than American.  This'll continue at least until Zeppelin's
induction.  I think Queen's induction is very likely when their time
comes (when _is_ that--I don't own their first album?)

Dear Pete,

Shane is no longer a Pogue.  He quit the band due to alcohol-related 
problems and has been replaced by Joe Strummer of the Clash.  Personally, 
although I really like the Clash, I don't think there's any way that 
Strummer will hold a candle to Shane.

GILLAN: PURPLE REUNION "ONE_OFF"

DEEP PURPLE *have* reformed, and have already recorded several tracks for a 
new album, but IAN GILLAN, in a phone call to Metal Hammer's offices, 
revealed that he is approaching the whole project with caution. Not only 
that, but he insists that this will not be a reformation as such, more a
one-off project.

"We are writing songs here in Germany, the concept being to put them
together as a 25th anniversary album. I don't know what happened to 
Joe Lynn Turner, but all of a sudden I had a phone call from Roger [Glover]
saying 'So what about it?'

"Needless to say, after what went down before I was very tentative about it.
But after talking to a lot of friends I found that the very mention of
a Purple reunion put a gleam in most people's eyes. So I thought it'd be
trite not to do it, and if it's on the basis of a project, *not* a reunion,
because we made arses of ourselves last time, then maybe it'll work.

"But there are some volatile personalities within this band. It's rather
like walking on egg-shells most of the time, but I think it's that chemistry
which has always made theworking environment either billiant or bloody
awful. So we're trying not to speculate too much in case it doesn't
work out, but the new songs are absolutely blinding. I've been asked not 
only about the new album, but also about promotional work and some
gigs as well, and I do live touring...so who knows?"

Meanwhile Ian is currently undertaking the *third* rewrite of his 
autobiography, which has already taken him over two years to assemble.

Good call, Joe. An update on Paul Hyde: he is now strictly a folk singer
who no longer delves into his old stuff when performing.  He still seems
to write about the same kinds of things, but no longer does he seem to
feel the need to scream to get his point accross. I have heard him on
several occasions and he sounds slightly different, but by no means any
worse.

	   I recently went into a record store which had a couple of "THE CALL"
   cassettes for sale. Does anyone know who this group is and who are the
   members. Are they anyone famous? Are their cassettes worth buying?

   thanks in advance

===========================================

Sure do, I've seen them in concert four times.

The Call originates from Santa Cruz, CA.  Lead singer/bass player Michael
Been was originally in a 60s-ish psychedelic band called H.P. Lovecraft
and then disappeared for awhile before The Call started up.  From the
top of my head the albums are...

1. The Call (released in 82 or 83)

2. Modern Romans (released in 1983)
The big song from this album is "When The Walls Came Down" which was a minor
hit.  A video was in heavy rotation on MTV for awhile.  They opened up for
Peter Gabriel during Gabriel's "Plays Live" tour in summer 1983.

3. <I forget the title of this one> (released in 1984)
This is the last of the albums for Mercury Records.

4. Reconciled (released in 1986)
"Everywhere You Go" was the single from this album.  "I Still Believe" (but
not The Call version) was featured in the movie "The Lost Boys."  Guests
on this album include Robbie Robertson, Peter Gabriel, Jim Kerr (Simple Minds),
Garth Hudson.  By this time The Call was now a four piece (down from five
members originally) with Michael Been taking over the bass (a good move IMHO).

5. Into The Woods (released in 1987 or 88)
"I Don't Wanna" was released as a single and the accompianing video was 
moderately rotated on MTV.

6. Let The Day Begin (released in 1989)
"Let The Day Begin" released as single

7. Red Moon (released in 1990)


The first three albums are long out of print, but a CD compilation called
"When The Walls Came Down: The best of the Mercury years" was released in
1991.

My picks?  Definately spend your lunch money on Reconciled, Into The Woods,
and the When The Walls Came Down compilation.  Spend someone else's lunch
money on the last two (but definately get them though!).  When I last
saw them in 1991, they were recording a series of shows for a possible
live album.  Garth Hudson and Harry Dean Stanton joined them for the latter
part of the show.

Hope that helps,

Chris

  Nope, I remember seeing both videos on MTV way back when.  Falco did not
appear in the After the Fire version.  I thought the Falco version was
one of the funniest videos I first saw.  Falco, with shades and slicked
back hair, is running in place while images of police cars appear behide
him.  So cheesy...so hilarious.....

CD International lists British titles called "Greatest Hits" and "Collection".
Judging by CD International's track record, these titles may or may not have
ever existed.

   ftp.uwp.edu has lyrics for Floyd and quite a lot of other bands; I 
believe the directory is pub/music/lyrics/p/pink.floyd.  I think the 
lyrics for The Wall also have the voices.  If not, mail me and I can
