The Chameleons in 80´s Catalonian TV Programme

This is not really "new". In fact, this is old, very old news, but it´s very interesting:

There was in the 80´s a Catalonian TV (TV3) Programme about music called ARSENAL. One of the Broadcasts (Porgramme number 10) was dedicated to The Chameleons, where the fans from that time could enjoy some excerpts from a gig in Barcelona, an interview to Mark and John, and some reviews from a Catalonian Journalist (Guillem Castaño), discussing how important The Chameleons was for him.



That TV3 Broadcast is available through the following Dailymotion video:

Backwards Message in Fan & Fellows Vinyl Edition

Did you know that the vinyl of The Fan & Bellows. A Collection of Classic Early Recording released by Dead Dead Good Records contains a backwards message at the end of Side-B, after Nathan´s Phase song?

The message is, in fact, a small excerpt of the lyrics of Nostalgia sung by Mark Burgess.

The excerpt does not appear in the CD edition.

Here you can listen to the original excerptand then the reversed version:

Reversed version:

Don´t Fall Intro: Mistery Solved

Ever wondered which was the origin of the misterious words "In his autumn before the winter comes man´s last mad surge of youth" which appear in the Intro for Don´t Fall, the opener of Chameleon´s debut album Script of the Bridge?

Thanks to Yvo & GriefTourist, two Chameleons fans, the mistery is finally solved.

The words belong to musical comedy film Two Sisters from Boston, directed in 1946 by Henry Koster and starring Kathryn Grayson, June Allyson, Lauritz Melchior, Jimmy Durante and Peter Lawford.

The excerpt where the famous words appear has been uploaded in Youtube by both Chameleons fans, so that we can enjoy the finding:



Thanks Yvo & GriefTourist for this.
