Even when read as a telegram I can't understand what you write. Would it be so much of a strain to be coherent?

Elton John was doing covers for Embassy (the cheap Woolworths covers label) when I first met him in the 60s.

How successful were these compilations, did any of the session singers etc become famous after ? Pickwick always guaranteed me disappointment as recordings were terrible and sound was quiet, even the DVD's they put out are naff - nothing wrong with films in the public domain they can at least remaster the poor prints they have.
