Hello If you listen to the cucumber castle lp you can hear the difference, the songs that colin petersen is playing drums on sound much better than the songs geof bridgeford drums on. kindest regards, kees>>> Which songs are you referring to? I don't think anyone really knows who plays drums on which song - do we? As for Colin and Vince, I always thought Colin's drumming was unremarkable and Vince's guitar was also lackluster. He was different than most in his style, however.

Would another arranger have contributed so significantly. Perhaps Mike Claydon and Ossie Byrne too who built upon the compressed piano sound that Maurice and Ossie created on Spicks ... "Having said that, they (Vince and Colin) should have photos of them in the boxset and I'm sure they will." ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2006 18:57:04 +0200 From: "Wil Bakermans" Subject: Re: Cucumber Castle Drummer Hi, I know Kees and he's a real good drummer and a real big fan of the "early" BeeGees...he knows where he's talking about.... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marty Hogan" To: "words List Member" Sent: Tuesday, September 26, 2006 4:32 PM Subject: [words] Cucumber Castle Drummer > << From: "kees chetouki" > Subject: RE: Bootlegs - that Horrible topic! > > Hello > > If you listen to the cucumber castle lp you can hear the difference, > the > songs that colin petersen is playing drums on sound much better than > the > songs geof bridgeford drums on. > > kindest regards, > kees>>> > > Which songs are you referring to?
