843.0. "The Yardbirds" by PSYLO::WILSON () Wed May 22 1991 15:52

    Hi, 
    
    I'm wondering if someone in this conference knows what is on a
    Yardbird's CD collection, "Roger the Engineer"? 
    
    I'm looking for a collection that has the later songs, "Little Games," 
    "Over, Under, Sidways, Down," "Shapes of Things," etc. 
    
    Thanks,
    
    
    Wes (in the USA)

	I believe they're all on it but you might want to check note 200 in RECORDS (COMET::). Speaking of "Little Games" the UK release that had 6 extra tracks not on the U.S. release was recently reissued. - Jim
843.2	David Bowie's cover of Shapes of Things	SOURCE::ZAPPIA	dive dive dive	`Thu Apr 09 1992 00:20`	7
	This question could probably be placed in any numbers of places but can anyone please tell me where the David Bowie cover of "Shapes of Things" is on? I'd also like to know who the guitarist is on it. Thanks, - Jim
843.3	The Pretty Things, along with an ex-Yardbird, Mekon, etc.	SOURCE::ZAPPIA	dive dive dive	`Thu Apr 09 1992 02:38`	12
	Extracted from NME 21-Mar-1992 w/o perm... "The Pretty Things are working on a new album in Chicago. The line-up for the band includes long time lead-singer Phil May, as well as former Mekons guitarist Dick Taylor, ex-Yardbird Jimmy McCarthy and ex-Canned Heat bass player Richard Hite..." If anyone cares besides... - Me

	Re .2 "Shapes of things" Bowie style is on "Pin-ups".I'm not sure who the guitarist was but I believe it may still have been Mick Ronson.
843.5	yes, it was Mick says Dougie...	OLTRIX::ZAPPIA	dive dive dive	`Thu Apr 09 1992 20:36`	12
