Hi Alan, Thanks for this news as I didn't know. WHO KNOWS WHY :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: Another marketing ploy ?? I would think you are correct in your assumption on this.I'm glad you told me because now I will get the one with 15 tracks.I have them all like the rest of us here but as...

Tina ,
Some discs will have 13 tracks , other discs will have 15 tracks inc' "2 Bonus Tracks ....Blues For Janice &The Shadow Of A Fool " ......................WHO KNOWS WHY Another marketing ploy ??

The islands that got a battering by Hurricane Ike at the weekend ,(Turks+Caicos )were the main inspiration for CR to write the King of the Beach album ........it was in this paradise that Chris wrote most of the songs as poems , then later added the music .......he loved the idea of people turning u...

Hi Everyone, quote="Chris"]I'm still purchasing my CDs in stores even though I recently found out I cannot buy a portable CD player anymore! Hi Chris,When did this happen....I hadn't realised that portable C.D players were no longer available. :shock: One of my customers told me last week...

Hi all, I wonder if there is a way of checking how many copies of Chris' last earbook have been sold? These numbers could provide an answer to our question: "why yet another 'best of?'" Perhaps the last album didn't sell well? We, at this forum, are a small group of admires and we all buy...

Andrey ,the album you are looking for is here , you should contact the seller to see if he will post ' http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/The-Best-of-CHRIS-REA_W0QQitemZ180283548538QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item180283548538&_trkparms=72%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 Horses ...

I am not happy with this new release. :( I have seen it also on musicload.de for download. :( :( If i remember exactly, this is what Chris never wanted. His music as a download from the I Net. Because of this reason he made the EARBOOKS. It maybe a tribute to his record company. This is exactly the...

Chris Speaking about the slide bringing ouit the devil -have you ever seen the movie Crossroads w/Ralph Machio (not sure that's how it's spelt) ?He's a bit of a lightweight but he did a good job on this and Ry Cooder did the music so that makes up for the acting.Very interesting Blues movie. Jim I ...

The brilliant Heading For The City from Dancing Down The Stony Road has a small bit of Debussy at the intro , but Chris builds the song from the jazz classic "So What " by Miles Davis ....it is just a couple of chords , and the song eventually goes it's own way , so I think this was CR's w...

Lily mentioned unreleased material in another topic .....well , what a coincidence , as I can imagine there are lots , and I think I spotted some tonight :shock: Watching the dvd of the making of Stony road ...if you look very carefully , during the recording of "Heading for the City" ,the...

Thanks for the info Alan, :D Top Gear sounds like a great show. On the show credits it says the opening theme is "Jessica", composed by Dickey Betts. Dickey was a former and founding member of The Allman Bros. Band. Not to get "out of track" here but Chuck Leavell has an interes...
