Subject: In The Now
As Barry's got a major label for his album, I am more optimistic on quality
and avoidance of self-indulgence, so fingers crossed.
That Robin didn't get a major label for Magnet is unfortunately confirmation
of its little commercial appeal. I doubt if many expected that album to
sound like that. I also think that Robin couldn't get a decent deal for
50SCD and not wanting to upset Barry was just an excuse. He does sound in
good voice throughout but there are too many weak songs on their that Barry
and Robert wouldn't have accepted

But in all fairness to Robin, the posthumously released 50 SCD was more of a compilation album, evidenced by the 17 songs. If it had been released when it should have been released, it would probably had been pared down to 11 or 12 songs with the weaker o

I thought the U.S. release was in Oct. and UK was Nov.? Either way I could never understand why they do this with both music and movies. It only fuels piracy.

As far as Mo's rehabilitation in the early 80s influencing the decision to ditch the band doesn't make sense to me. I'm not sure how long Mo stayed sober after his first stint in rehab, but I gather he was up to the task of working with Robin, and Barry.
apparently so was Alan. Mo had said himself he liked playing keys better than bass, but I do wonder how much freedom he had in what he played. If Mo had decided to walk away I certainly could not blame him. Having to deal with both Barry and Robin, it's
wonder he didn't hang out in opium dens. Kitt- Sent from My World > On Jul 2, 2016, at 6:40 PM, Salvatore Compoccia via Words wrote: > > I wonder if he ever thought at one point, especially during the Living Eyes sessions, to stop and say "F--- this" and

I didn't mean to suggest that Mo should have actually walked away or even seriously considered it. I was talking more in the context of the frustration he may have felt, and again particularly during those difficult Living Eyes sessions, where it may hav
crossed his mind in a moment of exasperation. Of course, actually leaving the group would have been a much more difficult and complicated affair. Moreover, I don't think Maurice would have ever wanted to. Sal Salvatore Compoccia compoccia@aol.com Back

to sing it live. He thinks it would be terribly difficult or even impossible to do so. He also says there is a lot of imagery in this album. Also it represents him at this time in his life. It should be very interesting. Will be hard to wAit until Octobe
