A MESSAGE FROM MICK BRIAN KEITH CHARLIE BILL
Hi,
Here we are, on the road again. We are all very excited about this tour, it’s been nearly a year since our last tour of England and we have really missed it.
Lots of you have been asking us why we spend so much time in America. The reason for this is that we now do all our recordings there, the studios are so much better that we can get a much better sound to give you better records.
All your letters to us ask about our film which we start at the end of the tour. It is the Dave Wallis novel “Only Lovers Left Alive”. We waited a long time and spent a lot of time trying to find the right story for our first film: we think we’ve found it and hope you do when it comes out, which will be in the Spring of next year.
We’ve tried to get together a great bill for this tour, and we know you’ll enjoy the fantastic Ike and Tina Turner Revue, which we saw some time ago in the States. It’s also great to have two other “Craw-Daddy Richmond” veterans—The Yardbirds and Long John Baldry.
We thank you for coming to see us tonight and hope you enjoy yourselves, ‘cos that’s the general idea.
