I still pop in and out as often as I can (I have the spaces app on my phone for handiness) but I have not posted in quite a long time. I suspect that, like a lot of people, I have become very suspicious of the internet and find myself constantly weighing up the pros and cons of using it. With the exception of Linkedin I do not have a social media presence and when I retire in October this year I will shut that down too. I am amazed how something that obviously took such a huge amount of education and knowledge to put together can be the source of so much danger and acquired stupidity. but hey, there's nothing as queer as folk.

Happy Birthday Bill, lots of love and best wishes coming from Eugene and Noeleen in Dublin.

Looks great, sounds great and worth the entry price for My Light, Waiting For The Night and the home demos alone. Wonderful job all round.

Happy Birthday Bill, best wishes from Dublin, Eugene and Noeleen.

Got my order in early for both releases and excitedly looking forward to listening to them as they arrive......oddly enough I tend not to listen to the samples, I prefer to have my appetite satiated in one fell swoop......oh what a happy and Nelsonic Christmas it is going to be.....thank you Bill.

.....good man Bill.....keep the good news coming.....😀

.....and this year just continues to get better.......😀

The important thing is to get the music out there. I will take it in whichever format you choose to release it on. This has been some good news after a long period of not so good news. I'm definitely looking forward to this release. Thanks a million for the updates.

Arrived today, I can't wait to get stuck in. Oh what a lovely feeling!

To my mind this package and the previous four are superbly researched and packaged. The new mixes and the various extra tracks are in my opinion welcome but in no way take away from the original experience of having first listened to each album as they were released. The demo recordings are most welcome as they exhibit songs as they were being developed into the wonderful recordings we all remember with such fondness. Well done all round to those involved and hopefully there will be more such releases to come.

Happy Birthday Bill, I hope you can find the energy to make the most of it given the year you have been through. Lots of love from Eugene and Noeleen in Dublin xxx

Cheers Geetar Homer that was a very interesting read with some nice comments from Bill interspersed.

I also have both versions since they were released. To my ears there is definitely an improved sound on the re-release but I prefer the original version. I digitized the set at the first opportunity and my preferred listening pleasure is on shuffle. I have no favorites from Bills' catalog but this gets a lot of play.

Having been offline for the past three weeks I have just read this post. Our deepest condolences Bill to you, Emiko and all your family. I had the distinct pleasure of meeting your mam for the first time at Nelsonica 02. She was a wonderful lively and talkative lady who politely suffered my inane conversation with a smile. Ar dheis De go raimh a hanam. Eugene and Noeleen.

Congratulations to both of you and all the best for the future.

Excellent review Michael, and If you did decide to get it Merikan1 you most definitely will not be disappointed.

I was lucky enough to win a copy of the Mick Ronson memorial concert in Eddie's raffle at Nelsonica, I'm pretty sure it was '05, cheers guys love the new forum, Eugene.
