Dammit, there has been months to organize shipping the way that customers will get their albums on a day when it is released. Just lousy planning if the albums don't come on friday or even day before to make sure people get them on time. Shame on record company! I am now almost sure that the BMG in...

http://www.songfacts.com/blog/interviews/chris_rea/ Thanks again Müfo for the link, I would like to commment on some quotes from this interview. The abstract is bullshit - I hate the journalists who copy each other not bothering to check if what they copy/paste is really true, for instance: He was ...

Thanks a lot for posting! Great stuff and great Stuff! Great joke ))) Also band Stuff at Montreux Jazz Festival is all new info for me, never heard him talk about them before.Here is Stuff at Montreux: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZcTP3-ARFQ http://www.songfacts.com/blog/interviews/chris_rea/ C...

Thanks, Müfo, but it is the same show (1998-09-16 Driven by You at VH1 Unplugged) I gave the link above. Seems like it is the only meeting of Martin and Brian on stage.

Martin Ditcham was involved with Brian May:http://www.sonor.com/artists/martin-ditcham/ Hi Anneke, checked all the data bases and asked my friends who know Brain well - no any sign of actual collaboaration between Martin and Brian. And the other names that Sonor website gives are highly doubted, es...

On that short studio interview Chris mentions something about New Orleans band on that Last Train track. But was it really some extra musicians or is it just Drinkwater? I guess we will know when we can read it from album covers? Really doubt the liner notes will be that informative, judging by the...

I'm sure I read or heard it somewhere. Hope It will come back to me where I heard read it. I know you want confirmation... They share a lot of muscial contacts, studio's, even Martin Ditcham. Нщ still must be mixing up some things... Martin Ditcham was never involved in Brian's works, he still play...

What a great song this could have been with real drums and a bit less of Neil Drinkwater... Hi all, Last Train seems to have real drums and everything okay but Neil Drinkwater)) His childish synthetic imitations of the instruments supposed to be played live in such songs make me go bonkers... The s...

BTW Chris and Brian lived in the same neighborhood for a long time and went to the pub together. Hi Anneke, where did you get this info from? Maybe you meant Brian Jones of AC/DC, not Brian May of Queen? I have asked my fellow brian May fan, maybe he can pour some light on that, but I highly doubt ...

Hello Anneke, MRB and Elangelo, I've flicked through the latest interview from Sep, 12th (it played with no problem from Safari browser on my iPhone). About Two Lost Souls: best song off the album I heard so far, geniunely "good old Chris". In the beiginning it reminds me a lot of Blues Ba...

I lost track of which company was fusing with others. Only big ones survived...but it's strange. And Germany is and was almost his biggest market within Europe. So he may have other deals there. Who knows? Yes, most likely, like it was in 2002-2007 with Edel Rec. handling CR records in Germany whil...

I think they are teasers, just like the "About" on the ChrisRea.Com. If you read that part again, it gives a lot of lyrics and some information on piano and sax. I forgot about that and I think a sax with piano will sound different as the first single The Road Ahead. BMG is big and has su...

Hi all, either they just still post lines extracted from The Road Ahead lyrics (why, on Earth?..) or a new single is coming soon, judging by CR official Twitter: https://twitter.com/chrisreamusic/status/882645688139616258 https://twitter.com/statuses/883022915721207809 By the way, it is told that Ge...

Hi all, remember when the fans were encouraged to ask Chris a question via Facebook and a selection of these were supposed to be answered by Chris in a video? This was some time ago - nothing ever happened. The team (whoever this is) is much more active on FB than it has been in former days - but p...
