Hi everyone,

 I'm testing an automatic distribution list thingy: let's see how it goes!

 In what will probably be its last chart appearance, I Can Drive dropped to #191 in the 
UK singles chart.

TW LW WI
191 167 6 Shakespears Sister: I Can Drive


UPDATE!: the next week it dropped to #220, but has magically (suddenly, tragically 
etc. ;-)) reappeared at #176 for the week ending 10th August 1996.

I know for a fact there was a vinyl release of I Believe with mixes on it cause I saw it! 
I think there was a D.O.P. remix on it. I emailed the web site but that issue was not 
answered. You should do the same. Also does anyone know there was a dance version 
of that same song? YEs, a dandy little remake that hit it big in the gay discos here....

Also the track listing for Perfect World are not listed. There is CD1 and CD2. I have 
the info on it. I never could find CD2 for I'm No Angel. I even ordered it but it never 
came!

I still can't find the new Nana single!!

so don't know the tracklistings. Please let me know!

Subject: SS in US

The latest word from the London Records A&R department is that the new SS album 
may not get released here at all (at least by London Records)! The rep. there said "I'm 
not sure if we're even releasing that record here." Is there a contact at the SS fan club 
who knows more about, possibly, a different US label for SS?

Thanks.

 Apologies to Sha Dewa for "stealing" the following message from the Bananarama 
mailing list:

30th July 1996.

Hello Banana fans,
I know this is the Bananarama mailing list and we are supposed to talk about things 
concerning Bananarama. But since Siobhan was a member of the 'Rams, I think it is 
right that she could be mentioned in here.
	I just picked up the latest copy of the NME (New Musical Express) with the 
delightful Bjork on the cover. Inside there were the reviews for the T In The Park 
Music Festival which took place in Glasgow, Scotland July 13th and 14th, and which 
Shakespears Sister had a slot on the latter date.
	The review for the festival was positive till it came to the Shakespears Sister 
slot, where the journos slagged Siobhan off, claiming that she "screeched her way 
throughout her set" and she was "airkissing" (whatever is that??) the (not literally) 
sick audience throughout her time allotment. The review on Shakespears Sister was 
small but very negative, with the journo signing off with "Forget Dave Stewart's 
Paradise Syndrome;
this is Pretentious Syndrome". And to think that when "Sacred Heart" came out all the 
journos were lapping it up and now they have turned against Siobhan. But maybe 
that's because most of the acts that were on T In The Park were all Britpop bands (I 
think Blur and Elastica were on; can't remember) and the darlings of American guitar 
music, like the rather good Foo Fighters. If anyone went to the T In The Park Festival 
and saw Shakespears Sister, it would be nice to know your reaction to the whole 
thing.
	This bit is now about Bananarama. Personally, I think Keren and Sarah has 
lost whatever glitter they may once had since Siobhan upped and left them. A mate 
from Ireland came by the other weekend and brought with him loads of music videos 
that he videoed off from (satellite - that's BSkyB too) TV and there were quite a bit of 
the 'Rams in those videos. 	The videos for "Robert De Niro's Waiting", "Shy Boy" 
and "Na Na Hey Hey" were ace - the girls looked very punkish. The "Wow" videos 
were good, but I found them formulaic and the ones after Siobhan left were quite 
lame, I found, especially "Love, Truth & Honesty". The "Pop Life" and "Please 
Yourself" vids were nothing to sneeze at either; "More More More" was very lame, 
but not as lame as "Every Shade Of Blue" - that vid looked like it was done for like $5 
or something.
	What struck me most about the videos with Siobhan was that in the early 
videos, she looked like the leader (just check out "Shy Boy"), with Sarah pushed to 
the side, I thought. Then the "Venus" video, I thought Siobhan went a bit mental with 
her dancing (too much Prozac, maybe) and the "Wow" videos, she looked very lost 
and sad, and she looked quite freezed out from Keren and Sarah, who are always 
whispering and connecting their heads together without inviting Siobhan. It's clear 
that those two disapproved of Siobhan's marriage to Dave Stewart. Now I'm just 
wondering
if Shakespears Sister will loose its glitter with Marcy gone. I personally found 
"Suddenly" on the single to be incredibly bitchy.
	Anyway, that's it for now. Sorry if I may have offended anyone on this mailing 
list over my personal judgements of the Bananarama videos.

Till next time,
Cheers people.
S.
