the Rats sincerely appreciate your kind greetings, Daren!
yes, Steven, i just had the opportunity to do a connection between Orange and Bezel a while ago.... eheheheh
I perfectly remember that "Ciao Italia" by Madonna... was it around 1987-88?
I remember it was the first time Madonna came to perform a gig in Italy... at that time i was a teen and i did listen to her albums (i still believe her first 3 albums are mainstream but also quality products)... It was funny because the whole Italy was subjected to the "Madonna effect" for a few days... they showed her meeting her relatives (the Ciccone family) to make a big "Carramba" effect... and they did broadcast that gig in Torino on TV...
Go figure... i also happened to buy a vinyl bootleg of that same gig a few days later, to discover that it wasn't the recording of the broadcast (then originally from the soundboard) but it was just a (crappy) recording made by the audience... i think i listened to that bootleg only once... it's still in new-ish conditions! ehehehheeh
CHEERS,
Vince.
