Another great post, Paul. Thanks so much. especially looking forward to the great man's version of Because, a much to seldom recorded tune.
Cheers,ratso. Maybe it's just me, but I have yet to hear a Gerry Rafferty CD with perfect sound quality. The same applies to Paul Carrack recordings. Maybe my hearing is affected from my listening to Led Zeppelin at full blast many moons ago! Thanks, & let me know what you think. ATB
:(((
I hope news about this man, are not real
Thanks, it's really sad that I'm listening again to his wonderful music after he died...
Its pity!
maybe I am not right, but he's gone?
Too much alcohol...:(((
Hi,drfeelgoed. It's a shame. The guy had many personal problems but he gave us a lot, and thanks to Gerry for that. Thanks, & TTU soon
Hi,GP (Numero Uno!). It's a pity. He had so much more to give, but let's be thankful for the music he gave us. I hope he's at rest with so many more of the great musicians who died too young. Thanks, GP. We'll be in touch soon
Hey there. Thought you'd like to know I rescued the remaining four gerryrafferty.com recordings from obscurity (Thank you, www.archives.org!)
