I wonder if it's the signatures of the lookalike band members. That would be humorous if it was sold for what it is. This seller has private feedback. I've never seen that before.

With three in their early to mid-twenties, I sometimes have to stop and think. Of course, if I were writing an important letter, I'd probably think before writing - unless he wrote the letter two or three months before he plucked up the courage to send it and 'forgot' to change it.........?

It's just clicked that the twins actually weren't quite seventeen at the time, although they are, of course, much nearer three years apart than four. Maybe Hugh wanted to emphasise this, rather than make it look as if the age difference was greater than it actually was. But it looks like Stigwood went a step further and made it look as if they were only two years apart!

Last night I got the artworks of Sing and Play, Hudson's Fallen Wind Aceate and Inception/Nostalgia from an overseas bootleg dealer. I also want to get Last Minute Demos and Strange Brew. Does anybody know where I can download the artworks of these albums on the net? Most of the artworks of well-known albums can be downloaded at www.covertarget.com. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2006 09:45:35 -0700 (PDT) From: Subject: Re: Worst described Ebay Item...Round two Just wondering . . . is overuse of 'LOLOLOL!!!' the written equivalent of saying 'ya know' or 'uh' about every third word?
