The only good thing about this mess is the cause. Otherwise, it's such a demented idea and it's so overstuffed and long that even kind of ruins for me the magic of the original composition.

I got my copy from the local HMV at 10:00 this morning, I was surprised to see only 2 CDs in the rack, one of which I bought (I didn't check the vinyl). My first thought is that you have to forget about the original version. That is probably so ingrained in our memories as "perfect" that it's not fair to compare it. If you can do that, and be open to some different tones, it's an incredible piece of work by Guy to mix all those different artists and styles into one tune. Admittedly there are a couple of places where people have gone a bit "off piste" with the melody, but that's their style and why you shouldn't compare it to the original. I'll be listening to it more than once or twice!

Exactly! It will be easier that way. Great version. Lots of positive energy when listening to Going Home 2024. 10 minutes? That's not possible. It's over too quickly

Seeing our enthusiasm about the new LH...
Well, here at this forum we got audio engineer, drummers, bass players, keyboard player and a lot of guitar players.

Can we made a collab on a DS/MK song?
Remote recording, nothing fancy, just for fun.
I made a bunch of collabs during the pandemic, it's really fun.

I'm in !

it's a shame that we have to wait until next week for Guy's infos and the video. I would have put it in my article otherwise
But we can't wait until next weet to publish such an article

Strange that she didn’t think names like Clapton and Springsteen worth headlining.

I posted this on Guy’s forum earlier. HMV seem to have got their ordering level very seriously wrong:-


“Absolutely terrific coverage in today’s Times. But a slightly sad story – I happen to be staying in central London, and popped into the famous (and recently reopened) HMV store on Oxford Street as it opened. No publicity for the record, two copies of the CD (one of which I bought) and about six of the vinyl. Seems to me there’s going to be a lot of unmet demand – a real shame.”

That’s a shame - Guy’s response.

I ordered the vinyl from my local HMV yesterday and my order was accepted, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Its No.1 on Amazon UK. Both the vinyl and CD. Although the vinyl is now looking sold out in most places online.

[dustyvalentino]

My local record store has the vinyl copy behind the counter for me to collect.

A bit annoyed the vinyl is a shorter version though... although the art is nice so great to have a big copy of that.
