144.0. "Railway Children" by MED::ARTHUR (Walk away...in silence) Thu Jul 14 1988 18:45

	What can anyone tell me about the band

		THE RAILWAY CHILDREN?

	I was fortunate enough to win (yea!) their
	three CD's however I don't know anything
	about their music (and don't have a CD
	player - yet!).

    *Three* CDs?  I thought that "Recurrence" was their debut album?
    Perhaps I have been misled....tell me more!
    
    							Ian!
    
    P.s. They are a pretty good group, aren't they?

	I received "Recurrence", a four-song CD single containing
	two songs from the album, PLUS a CD on Factory (yea!) which
	I forgot the name of...

		I don't know! That's the problem - I don't
		have a CD player!

	Supposedly I won all their CD's in existence...and
	a pizza (which they didn't deliver!?!)

    You won three CDs....and a *pizza*?  Er...that must have been some
    competition, Ed. 8^)
    
    "Recurrence" is certainly their debut album for Virgin at least.  
    Is the Factory disc an album too?  
           
    They *are* a good group.  No question about that in my opinion,
    I hope you enjoy the music when you manage to find out how to put
    the discs in the pizza.....??   
       
    Weird.
    
    Ian!

	Still trying to find the name of that CD ...

	They never delivered the PIZZA (coupon) no hard feelings though.
	The place I have to redeem it is F-A-R away...

	I also won tix (Monday) to see Third World (last night). I'm
	beginning to like this radio station and their give-aways.

	To top it all off - I called the station this morning asking
	what song they were playing - and I won tix to a movie!

	Luck comes in 3's!

    what station?
    
144.6Day in Day outMED::ARTHURWalk away...in silenceMon Jul 18 1988 17:5814
	WFNX in Lynn (Boston)...

	The three CD's are:

		"Renunion Wilderness" (Factory)
		"In the Mean Time" (Four song E.P.)
		"Recurrence"

	However, I still haven't heard them yet - I just
	got a tape of the "Substance" CD handed to me!

	Joy!

    Reunion Wilderness is by far their best album. Reccurence is a step
    in the wrong direction if you ask me. They probably appeal to fans
    of Lloyd Cole, James, The Smiths (for want of a better word, but
    then again what could be better?)
