(TV) OT: Roxy Music, Needle in Haystack/K. Richards

["Leo Casey" <LeoCasey@comcast.net>]

"I hope this e-mail doesn't break any MM -List ground rules/policy.  

I have run into a brick-wall looking for a particular cd; I know there are a few Roxy Music
fans on this List besides Keith and Scott Simpson.  

For the past 3 months, I have been looking in vain for a 4-cd box set of Roxy Music that is
"out of print"; it's entitled "The Thrill Of It All" (not to be confused with the dvd of the
same name).

I have searched every used cd store in Metro Boston (and Providence, R.I.) as well as e-bay,
and used cd-stores' web-sites.

Amazon.com has several  used copies but the cheapest one goes for $450 (not a typo)!   This is
well beyond my budget.

To make matters worse, I am only really interested-in/need disc 4, which includes the *only
existing digital versions* of several Roxy rarities (e.g., 'Angel Eyes ' extended-play version
6:37, B-sides of singles, etc.). 

If anyone has this box-set, please contact me off-list; I am interested in either buying it
outright or making some arrangement(s) to get a Lossless cd-r copy of disc 4, or to get a
lossless version of disc 4 uploaded by you to some web-site.

I can pay $ or trade you something from my extensive collection(s).

PS: Just finished Keith Richard' memoir, "Life" from library.  
It was not as great as I had expected given its serious reviews, e.g., can be pretty
repetitious; I guess repetition goes with being a heroin addict for 12 yrs and a rock god for
45 yrs.  Still....  I'd  give it a B to B+; most interesting parts for me were long segments on
his family life/children and that he was a Boy Scout.

Musicians on List might be surprised to learn that Richards has relied heavily (almost
exclusively[?]) since 1968 on 'open tuning' and use of 5-string electric guitars!.  A shocker
(at least for me):  there are no electric guitars (except bass) on 'Jumpin' Jack Flash'.

He went about his dull routine 
as if all the days in the world 
were still to come".
