I haven't had a chance to say this for a while but I love the album except I don't think Oh Well and Soul for Hire sit comfortably on it.

I wouldn't consider She's Pulling Out The Pin as poppish. It's pretty evident that Elvis wanted to do a bluesy/country album this time round - just as he's written/recorded different types of album in the past. Your own preference is the "British sounding" type of record. That's fine - eac...

Thanks all.

MDM - thanks for introducing some new words into the VG vocabulary - youngerish, specialest and my fave, laryngitisy!

And can you show us your most winning smile so we can see whether or not it looks psychotically needy?

I've been to see Athlete and Embrace this year who are popular beat combos here in the UK. I have definitely been the oldest person in the audience although my boyish looks make me look far younger and hip and happening. The game was given away when I started dancing though :lol:

Great pictures - thanks Spooky. Hey - from first sight I could have sworn that was you up on stage with Elvis.

I still think our special guest in London (Muggy) was better than yours though!
