Hi all--that cd of Tony Christie's sounds great--so have just taken some time out to order from "Amazon" I confess I had not seen or heard of it before-I am looking forward to listening to it.

Hi Leeroy,

I'm so glad that you like the double CD.
Yes, there are some lovely songs on it.
Very good value for money too at only Â£5.99!

Yes Leeroy Tony does have a new CD out in September.
From what I have heard it contains some original material and a few cover versions as well.

Tony has recorded a version of "The hungry years."
This is one of Tony's favourite Neil Sedaka songs and also, his fans wanted him to record it as well!

Once again I'm glad that you are enjoying "Movies, Love and Hit Songs"

Hi Hilary and Lee--my "Movies Hits and Love songs" arrived today--looks great-its good to have a mix of old and new. I have not had chance to play it yet, but I am looking forward to listening to it.

Hi Marian,

I do hope that you enjoy the CD's.
On the second one there is a lovely song written by Tony and a song writing buddy called, "closer to heaven." It's a REALLY nice love song.

Hilary: Spot on as usual! Very nice track on a very nice cd set.

Marian: Get playing those cds

- hope you enjoy them! I agree with you, there is a nice blend of the old and the new. Love his recording on this cd of Las Vegas.

Best wishes,

Lee H

Hello all. After the World Cup Final had finished tonight Tony Christie's "Is This The Way To Amarillo" was played to the crowd.

Also after Germany had been defeated by eventual winners Italy in their semi final, the Liverpool anthem "You'll Never Walk Alone" by Gerry and The Pacemaker's was also played to the crowd. Both sounded excellent.

Hi Everyone,

Just to let you know that Neil Sedaka's DVD "Live at the Royal Albert Hall" will be available to buy on Monday 4th September.
Tony Christie joined Neil on stage that night and they performed "Amarillo" together.

We were very lucky to have been in the audience on that night.
The whole show was brilliant from start to finish but the audience were on their feet when Tony came on for his duet with Neil!

Hi Hilary--thanks for the information re "The Neil Sedaka DVD"--I have been lokking out for that. I would have loved to have been there at that concert---I have been to quite a few in the past, but it is more difficult now for me to go to London. Plus the Fan Club folded up some time ago, so I did not know about the cocerts for some time.

Hi Hilary, thank you for the news of Neil Sedaka's DVD.
There is also another one due out 28th of August, www.play.com with Twenty One tracks.

Hi Lena and Harry--it looks very much as though that one at Play.com is a reissue of the concert from Birmingham Symphony Hall---a few years back. A really great concert, though !!

Hi Marian, well at least the price is right and all his popular numbers are there. But for the latest one due in September, at the moment Amazon is slightly less than HMV.

mariana44 · Post by **mariana44** » Tue Aug 15, 2006 11:53 pm

Hi Lena and Harry---for that price it is exceptional value, because as I said before it is a super concert--I often play it and sing along to it.

I just cannot wait for the new one!! My poor dogs are in for some more torture [ that is--me singing
