Re: Michael Allen's book
I just finished reading this about half an hour ago. I really enjoyed it. Every book I’ve read by those who were there helps paint a more vivid picture of what it must have been like and all the characters become more realised. I’m now really looking forward to Neal’s account but the one I’m really...

No he’d have mentioned it being all part of Shep’s master plan and Dick Wagner .

Re: Don't Blow Your Mind: The Mascot Sessions
Hi Dennis I’m guessing this was before Michael joined the group, so you had Don’t Blow Your Mind already? In his book, Dennis states that Alice and him wrote DBYM following MB's encouragement for the Group to start writing their own songs. I'm interested about Michael recording his own original son...

Re: Alice band members past and present best albums
I’m surprised nobody has mentioned Dick Wagner’s 70’s solo effort? I haven’t actually heard it myself but I thought some of you would have. When I first heard Michael Bruce’s In My Own Way on the remastered CD in the early 2000’s I didn’t think too much of it. Later I got the original Polydor vinyl ...

Double Albums
Hi Dennis
Did you guys ever consider a double set? I know you were very busy back then but I was wondering if it was something you might have liked to do had you had time and material. Or was it something that never entered your mind or that you wouldn’t have felt the need for?

Re: Good to see you again,AC
At that time, erasing the original band members was intended to establish the band's name as a solo artist, and in my opinion, likely intended to help prove so in court cases that never came. We had spent a small fortune on a lawyer, then I decided to drop it because the band had started as friends...

Re: BSB 50th anniversary 2cd / 3 lp out in March
I'm sure if they do any more it will be welcome to my nightmare (again) but i live in hope I get the feeling they’re concentrating on the original band’s releases for the moment. I’d imagine we will get Love It To Death, possibly with an official cleaned up paracidial slumbers?? Maybe some of the d...

Re: BSB 50th anniversary 2cd / 3 lp out in March
For those who have purchased this is the sound vastly superior to past releases?. I already have the live album and the rhino green lp release with all the inserts. And while we are at it... for those who purchased the Theatre of Death lp what are your impressions on that ? thanks I have it. Is the...

Re: Good to see you again,AC
Regarding “The Lady is a Tramp” did you guys actually perform the song or was it just a backing track that Alice sang over?

Re: Diary of mad housewife experience
Hi Dennis do you know if there’s a full audio of your performance? If so do you have a copy and might it ever see the light of day?

Re: BSB 50th anniversary 2cd / 3 lp out in March
Interesting that he says he prefers the 2001 remaster but acknowledges that this version is not as thin (which is something I've had a problem with, with this album... it can get rather tinny), so I'm happy to hear him mention the boost on the bass (which was a plus on School's Out as well). I'm go...

Re: BSB 50th anniversary 2cd / 3 lp out in March
Also, I agree that no one's memory is perfect. But I' m quite sure that even person with dementia would remember selling a song which likely earned near a million dollars over the course of the years for 6k. My mother has dementia. Some days she does'nt know me. She doesnt know what day it is or ye...

Re: BSB 50th anniversary 2cd / 3 lp out in March
I've pre-ordered this. Of course I would have preferred a different show and different outtakes, I like that we get a complete set list for a B$B show and after all these years of owning 3 different vinyl versions of the album, I finally will own a Billion Dollar bill. My 1976 Burbank issue bought ...

Re: BSB 50th anniversary 2cd / 3 lp out in March
Dick Wagner always told things straight up and was not known for embellishing events. I'll take Wagner's recollection over anyone else's especially Michael Bruce. Musically the song is pure Wagner. It would have fit perfectly on WTMN and I'm sure it had a big impact on the genesis and direction of ...
