Re: Dream Ticket

["gordon" <dwilhelmi@ti...co.uk>]

  Nice tip Nick.
  What it said on the tin.
  Telephone interview with Gerard from Liverpool.
  Good story about the shirts.
  Then 'Jacket / Colour Me and Broken.... from Glasters '92.

  Often wondered whether the CD from Turkey was the whole set, and now I
know.
  No Colour Me.

  Good show. I should listen to Radio more and jack the telly.

  Thank You
  G
