Hope to get this in my mailbox today or am i to hopefull that the delivery from England will take only 2 days??

I guess the last dear Henry, dear Henry.

After 2 weeks still nothing in my mailbox from BGO

[Henry]

After more than a month still waiting so i sent a emejl to Bgo and asked if there was a problem or if they have forgotten about my order.This is the answer i got:

Still waiting for the Jerry Lee masters from Universal, big delays after
amalgamation with EMI. Haven't forgotten about you - your order is on a big
pile of Jerry Lee orders & will go out as soon as the stock comes in.
Please let me know if you are still OK to wait, or whether you would prefer
a refund/alternative title for this item?
Warmest
Mike

What does the word amalgamation means?

What does the word amalgamation means?

It means "to join" basically, so Universal has obviously joined with EMI.

Are you waiting or getting a refund?

[Henry]

Waiting no hurry cause i have the original LPs

At last.....late but not too late i got this in my mailbox today.
A very great booklet writen by our own Andrew McGrae and i would like to quote this.
Here we are treated to a sparkling rendition of "Please Don,t Talk About Me When Im Gone" which ,in the Lewis's hands, is taken to new extremes of egocentricity.This track also promts the thought that if ever a JLL album provided evidence of a fellow artist being worhy of a headline credit, this is probably it, in acknowledgment of the contribution of Ken Lovelace, his long time collaborator and bandleader.Lovelace playing was probably never more at home on the "Touching Home" sessions.

ALBUM COVER RATING: 4/5

I'm going through Jerry's albums on here and giving marks out of five for the album covers (regardless of the actual content)...

Very good cover, again suits the contents. Not quite outstanding enough for full points though.
