OK, I have to post this. My dear pal Jack was out and about at some flea market in - Greece? They have those in swanky parts of Greece I guess. Who knew? So Jack sees this awesome Bryan Ferry record album - a highly unique copy of it too, it's the one with the gatefold that opens. Jack has his picture taken holding the opened copy of These Foolish Things - which by the way - he failed to purchase. And Jack correctly emailed me this: "Curt, as you know, the US version didn't have this!" meaning the opening gatefold. Thanks, Jack - but next time, but the thing and I will reimburse you for it.
Jack, Jack, Jack. That strategic blunder would have earned you a well-deserved penalty slide in the Spawning Room. I would have expected you to slip the album beneath your shirt and stumble out of there, reminicent of a certain Muddy Waters photo acquired from a blues joint on the north side of Chicago. Perhaps many years spent on the Left Coast eating sushi has made you soft. UPDATE: B. Gallas has arrived in Greece and is searching for the tasty Ferry disc as I type this missive. Details to follow.
