[Glen D.]

Einfach toll, wurde bestellt ohne mit der Wimper zu zucken.

[ROSI_]

Nun ist aber die Frage wie es um Wings Of An Angel steht?

Klar, sowas hätte man schon vor Kid Galahad oder Fun In Acapulco zB bringen sollen.
Egal, Hauptsache kommt.

[King77]

Nun ist aber die Frage wie es um Wings Of An Angel steht?

Da es ja zu U. S. Male Take 1 gehört u. bei der Ankündigung keine Zeitangaben gemacht wurden müssen wir abwarten bis die CD im Player läuft.

[Glen D.]

Robert, was ist denn da alles Neixx drauf zu finden ?

[King77]

Hast du doch schon im Berliner Forum von Mike gelesen.

Aber Robert, hier wurde es noch nicht gepostet.

[Mike.S.]

Ich kopier's mal hierher. Man konnte mit der Trackliste und Keith Flynn eigentlich recht gut herausfinden, was ein FS und was ein durchgehender Take sein muss. Allerdings muss man abwarten, ob das dann ein FS oder ein LFS ist, wo es noch keine entsprechenden Angaben gab. Das ganze daher natürlich ohne Garantie, aber im großen und ganzen sollte es passen, ansonsten bin ich natürlich um eine Korrektur dankbar.

Was auch interessant ist der Master v. Hi - Heel Sneakers ist ein Spl. Take 7 mit der ersten Zeile v. Take 5. Mit anderen Worten dann ist der Take 7 so wie er bei der Session aufgenommen wurde noch unveröffentlicht u. neu für uns.
