The Passing Show is AMAZING !!!! I highly recommend, it shows an amazing side of Ronnie and his story. I felt quite emotional after watching infact.

Anymore for Anymore is by far my fav Ronnie album. Dont you Cry for Me is such a gem and holds a very special place in my heart.

Great album–I agree that this is probably Slim Chance’s most “fun” album, but then again they’re all great! Just reviewed this album on my blog here: http://www.elliotknapp.com/2011/04/ronnie-lanes-slim-chance-one-for-road.html

Hi Rupert,

Sorry! Have been offline for an incredibly long time due to hospital and other wonderful things like that!!!

I have emailed the site owner, Brendan, with my new email address and would be only too happy to get those songs to you.

If you can contact Brendan, he will hopefully be able to pass my email address on to you.

Hope this message reaches you!!

Cheers,

Mick.

Hi Mick Bradley( hope I’m doing right thing to get message to you)

Could you send a copy of single saddle and Snake to me, would mean helluva lot!

I saw Slim Chance in November 1979 at Colchester Institute – fantastic, hypnotic mesmerising and a defining experience, stood in front of Ronnie who just smiled gently most of the time – been a fan ever since,
Rupert

Do you still need Single Saddle and Snake?

If so, i can pass them on to you.

Single Saddle i have in excellent quality, Snake is a little crackly (but in a great way) as it’s taken from original vinyl.

Has anyone ever come across a Ronnie/Slim Chance bootleg, of a concert or alternate versions, etc?

Seem to be rarer than rocking-horse shit.

I’ve always loved Anymore for Anymore and his work with the Small Faces but for reasons I’m not quite sure, I never gave this album a listen until this glowing review reminded me to. It really is an amazing album, definitely among the best work I’ve ever heard him do, so thanks for shining the spotlight on Ronnie and his fantastic work and hopefully giving more people like me a nudge to listen to it.

For all things Ronnie Lane, there is only one person to contact: Bucks Burnett.

Why? He was not only a fan, but an employee of Ronnie’s. He also happens to be a musical and pop culture encyclopedia as well as a darn nice guy.

I’m also a huge fan of the album Anymore for Anymore. It’s one to crank any time.

One For The Road is a gem and the title track is one of the great drinking songs, as good as anything the Pogues and others could lay down. Lane’s work on Rough Mix is underrated too in comparison to Townshend’s superb songs but they do stand up admirably. It looks like his travelling live show from the period never stood a chance but oh to be at one of those gigs.
