It was Bill.Nelson.com which was handed back to Bill by Chuck Bird I believe,

But the .co.uk domain name would be useful as well, as that could be used to direct all traffic to this website, I bet it would be well busy.

Now that would be interesting. Bill had the audio remixed out of his own pocket.

Would think they would have no right to use that final mix in this case.

I suspect all this was covered in the contract. I think Bill's primary reason for re-mixing was to make sure he was happy with any product that went on sale.

Dear Bill, being relatively new around here I had no idea of the circumstances surrounding this gig and bought this thinking it must be a perfectly above-board reissue. Had I known the full story I wouldn't have. My apologies.

As far as I know the re-issue is 'above-board', bdr. I think Bill's issue with it was the fact that there was no communication before it's release.

If that will make you happy. I'm sorry, alec. Do you want them randomly placed throughout the site or do I need to start a new thread?

On that cold morning in Twickenham, so many years ago... "Whatever will make you happy, I'll do it. Or I won't post at all..." :wink:

Alec, if you'd ever been to Falkirk, central Scotland, you wouldn't use a smiley. I shouldn't have either.

It's where Mrs M H comes from. It looks at its best in a rear-view mirror.

But Mr. M H, when I read or hear that pleasant name, this peaceful autumnal image emerges.

It's that of a church in the fall, a fall kirke, with leaves blowing pleasantly along, gold, red, yellow and honey hues, everything all dappled light and suchlike. :shock:

Alec, you're actually not far off. It's from an old name meaning "speckled church" - the original church was probably constructed of different types of stones.

The town grew up around heavy industry - the Carron Iron Works was world-famous. But all that's gone now, leaving a post-industrial town stranded midway between Glasgow and Edinburgh, and close to its more attractive, prosperous and historically important neighbour, Stirling. Basically, it's a town that serves no purpose nowadays.

'Speckled Church...' Now I like that, conjurs up my kind of image. Possible instrumental title bubbling up: 'The Speckled Church Of Cuckooland.' :wink:

Very nice. Strong image. Pretty much says it all in a title. Of course lyrics could take it in any sort of direction.

"The Speckled Church in the Middle of Nowhere" would pretty much sum up Falkirk's present situation. :wink:
