464.0. "THE BIBLE" by AYOV11::LGRAY () Thu Jul 27 1989 17:46

     			-<CRYSTAL PALACE>-
    
    Has anybody heard any recent news about The Bible?? I know they
    recently re-released "Graceland", after it died a death first time
    around. (Due to the fact that Paul Simon released his version around
    the same time.) Nifty bit of marketing!!! 
    So have they joined Waltzing Matilda or are they still kicking???

464.1Would I give you money?AYOU30::PAULCwalk through the midnight shadowThu Jul 27 1989 19:4912
    The version of Graceland that was released recently was actually
    a new version that's slightly different to the original - of course
    it still didn't make it :-(
    
    I look through the listings section of the paper every day to see
    if they're playing anywhere (what chance of them coming anywhere
    near Ayr?) I last saw them mentioned just a few weeks back - they
    were one of the bands appearing at some sort of benefit gig, in aid
    of Greenpeace, I think. So I guess they're still going, but I haven't
    heard anything about a new album.

464.2And When I Die..AYOV11::LGRAYFri Jul 28 1989 11:497
    Last time I was up in Glasgow I spied a second album by The Bible
    but alas due to brain fatigue I can't remember what it was. :-(
    Can someone possibly help out????
    By the way it was in VIRGIN (Union St.)

    	Does that mean that Graceland was on a previous album ????
464.8Walking The Ghost Back HomeAYOU30::PAULCwalk through the midnight shadowFri Jul 28 1989 19:386
    Yep, it's on an album called "Walking The Ghost Back Home". I 
    haven't heard the rest of the album (apart from another single,
    "Mahalia") but I have heard people saying that it's even better 
    than "Eureka".

464.9On a day like today.....AYOV11::LGRAYFri Aug 18 1989 09:028
    
    Been hearing a new BIBLE single on Radio One recently, it's called
    "Honey be Good" and is rather a nifty track. Just to let you know 
    if you haven't heard it yet.

464.10From Eureka!AYOU30::PAULCwalk through the midnight shadowFri Aug 18 1989 09:3111
    Linda, "Honey Be Good" is a track off "Eureka". It was originally
    released as a single last year but didn't do anything. I guess it
    must have been re-released following the moderate success of the
    new version of "Graceland".
    
    Incidentally, I see that Boo Hewerdine has an album out in
    collaboration with an American singer/songwriter (can't remember
    his name). It's reviewed in Q magazine this month - they quite
    liked it.

464.11More infoAYOU30::PAULCwalk through the midnight shadowFri Sep 15 1989 09:2725
    More info: 
    
    1) The Bible are doing a few concerts at the end of September
       none of them anywhere near the west coast of Scotland :-(
       The dates I've seen are:
       Sept 25th - Newcastle Riverside
       Sept 26th - York, Duchess of York
       Sept 28th - London Astoria
    
    2) According to an advert in Q they have a "new" album out. I say
       "new" because most of the tracks are off "Eureka". Track listing:
       
       "Graceland", "Crystal Palace", "Honey Be Good", "Skeleton Crew",
       "Red Hollywood", "Abraham, Martin & John", "Skywriting",
       "Glorybound", "Up In Smoke", "Blue Shoes Stepping", 
       "Cigarette Girls", "The Golden Mile"
    
       I don't know if the songs are new versions or if they're straight
       off the previous albums.
    
    3) The album that Boo Hewerdine did with Darden Smith is called
       "Evidence". Has anyone heard it? Do you recommend it?
    
    Cheers,

464.12What's happening?AYOU52::PAULCthat&#039;s just the name of the shop, dearieTue Oct 01 1991 09:215
   Good grief, more than two years on and still silence. Have they broken up?
   Is there a new album on the way? Does anyone have any information about 
   them??
