When you have A Life on the Ocean Wave 43 times and all the other regular pieces it soon adds up. admin How many arrangements of LOTOW do you have though? There are 2 distinct different ones... 1078?

Are you worried he might have more covers than you??     2nd Clarinet MrJpig wrote: Now Now BOB............each to their own. Are you worried he might have more covers than you??     Thanks for the PM Andy....... You're right though......I refer you to the reply I made on Mon Aug 04, 2008 7:58 am, m'lud. Mine is just a 'Virtual' collection. chiefspotter Re: Versions of LOTOW- 43 Recordings mostly arranged by Dunn and Alford and a Dunn Orchestral version. Then of course there is the up beat version by Mac McDermott. All my recordings are LP, Cassettes, CD Video. Some cassettes are recordings of MFM as broadcast on BBC Radio and Some Videos of Broadcasts on Television. Hope this meets with your approval bootybandy IMHO I personally like the McDermott version of LOTOW. BTW I have just remembered I still have about 8 LP's of Si Boorer that he loaned me once for some reason or another. Deli, If I drop them off to you, could you see that he gets them back? 2nd Clarinet bootybandy wrote: IMHO I personally like the McDermott version of LOTOW.

Have you still got the door plaque from 2KA4 in the garage as well or does it adorn somewhere else? bootybandy Aaaaahhhhhhhh. The montage of what at first glance looked like a Turks head, but on closer inspection was details of various parts of male and female bodies entwined in various positions of entanglement...............

I'm not sure we're talking about the same plaque, the one Colin Johnson commissioned in 1970 for the mess door was a rather 'animal' looking bandy, can't remember what what written on it but it was probably mundane like 'Band Mess' eric the red joe90 wrote: bootybandy wrote: Aaaaahhhhhhhh.

We (the Ark survivors) took it to HMS Hermes for the 1st incarnation of FOF3 (4KZ1). Apart from the pic, it WAS rather mundane- 'Royal Marines Band'.
