Hi, I am a huge Roxy Music fan, saw them first in 1972 at Redcar Jazz Club. Here is my version of one of my favourite tracks "If There Is Something": http://snd.sc/KcCzgS |

Hi John, / vinylshrine / Fast Cakes, Just listened to your version of If There Is Something. I like it! Sounds like you put alot of work into it. Ya gotta watch it here, some people are stuck only on RM & Bryan's stuff, and it's hard for some to expand their musical tastes. I'm a song-writer too and have been told I sound like Bryan. Didn't try to. Just am. I enjoyed it! Great job! E |

Thanks for your kind comments. I know I am taking a risk posting fresh on a board I don't know as the regulars might not take kindly to a cover version! It was actually done for a Roxy tribute LP but it was rejected!! I thought it was good enough, but I'm biased. I better not post my live version of Editions Of You that I taped in 1977, I might get lynched. |

Well, you popped out of nowhere and lay your music on us, which is all well & good, but I would have eased in and gotten to know some of the folks in here. So, tell them something about yourself. |

Okay.... I am in my 50's, I am a musician and record collector, I make my living selling vinyl records. I have seen Roxy Music twice (Redcar Jazz Club 1972, Newcastle Town Hall c.1975) As well as Roxy Music I like The Beatles, Zappa, Van Morrison, Yes, Genesis, Bowie, The Flower Kings, Bob Dylan, The Clash amongst others. |

Sounds great, I'm not a great fan of straight covers, i think you did a really nice job or reinterpretation while stirr honoring the spirit of the original. Good show! |

Friend, you don't need to give your background for validation, this isn't an exclusive club where you are voted in. Have fun and welcome. This can be a very interesting forum. |

Thanks Bill, that's a more welcoming reply. eero - I agree there's little point in doing a "karaoke" version when the original is a classic song - I tried to stamp my own personality on it and only did a Ferry impersonation at the very end. |

Here is my version of one of my favourite tracks "If There Is Something": http://snd.sc/KcCzgS Dear Vinylshrine, Great to hear from you. I too saw our heroes for the first at Redcar Jazz Club in '72 and was wondering if you knew if they did a gig at "Kirk Levington Country Club" in the same year? The reason I ask is that I'm pretty sure that I saw them at the "Kirk" as well as RJC but it's not referenced in the tour history of this splendid site so maybe I'm hallucinating. Regards and welcome, Windswept |
