1054.0. "Sam Brown??" by FILTON::KEARNS_R () Wed Aug 05 1992 20:17

        
    Hi y'all!
             I was wondering if anyone knows what's happened to 
    
     Sam Brown????
    
             After a couple of good albums she's seemed to of 
    
     gone walkabout.

1054.2Girl, let freedom for all be a running cause......SED750::ENGLANDERThe Moment of Clarity ...Wed Aug 12 1992 17:036
    If i'm not mistaken there was an article about her in the latest
    edition of The Amazing Pudding (Pink Floyd Fanzine). I'll gander at it
    tonight and let you know if there is any news worthy of being
    published.
    
    Rupert.

      That would make sense as she is friendly with a certain Mr Gilmore,
    
      and also sang with Floyd at Knebworth '90
     
                       Thanks

1054.4i know i've been mad, i've always been mad........SED750::ENGLANDERThe Moment of Clarity ...Wed Aug 12 1992 18:593

1054.5i am you and what i see is me.....................SED750::ENGLANDERThe Moment of Clarity ...Thu Aug 13 1992 13:2142
    Well, i've got the article in front of me so here goes. I don't know
    what you know so i'll give you snippets of info and you can ask for
    more if i've got any.
    
    She began session work at an early age working for, Spandau Ballet,
    Dexy's midnight runners, Jimmy page - 'the firm's debut album, jon Lord
    and on Tina Turners Break every rule.
    
    She claims not to be a 'close' friend of Gilmour, just someone who has
    known him for years.
    
    There is alot of historical blah blah.
    
    Her mother is also a singer and they both worked on Gilmour's About
    Face album.
    
    She doesn't have any more work planned with DG.
    
    She is going to continue wth her policy of releasing 3 extra previously
    unreleased tracks with every 12" single and cd single.
    
    She strongly regrets not refusing to do the video compilation of her as
    she thinks it is awful. She sounds a bit P*****d off with A&M (her
    record company) "i've never had any problems with A&M until this year"
    She has been signed for a third album, unless something goes horribly
    wrong.
    
    She names her influences as:- 
    	Singing: Lorraine Ellison, Thelma Houston, Lowell George and to a
    certain extent Ella Fitzgerald.
    	Songwriting: Millions of people. She thinks Sting is brilliant, and
    likes Kate Bush, Rickie Lee Jones and Joan Armatrading.
    
    Unfortunately, that about the jist of it. Quite boring really and
    nothing firm on her future. The interview was in the April 92 edition
    of TAP.
    
    If you want a photocopy of the whole article let me know.
    
    Regards,
    
    Rupert.
1054.6sort it out A&MFILTON::KEARNS_RFri Aug 14 1992 16:4512
     
     Thanks for that.
    
     Not too much news that I didn't know to be honest,except that a third
    
     album is or was planned.
    
     If you do hear anymore about album no.3 please let me know.
    
        Once again thanks for your time.
    
                                              Robbie

    Well if anyone's interested the long awaited 3rd album has been
    released on A&M, its title " 43 minutes "..
    
    	I picked it up at the weekend but as yet haven't played it too much 
    so I haven't got too much of an opinion.....
    
    	I scibble a quick review in a few days....
    
    	The first impressions are good although there doesn't seem to be
    much difference in sound to her previous outings..

    Well it's now about 4 months since i brought 43 Minutes and all I can
    say is that it's one best CD's I have ever heard...It really is bloody
    superb but as no-one reads this note I'm not gonna go on and on about
    it...
    	If you wanna know what it's all about, go buy it..
    
    	
    
    p.s. if you don't listen to Sam Brown, why on earth did you buy a Cd
    player..........................................
