If Mike named this album "Opus One", can we think that in 1992 we were listening "Opus Two" and in 1999, "Opus Three"? Or something like to "Lunch in the table" or "Dinner in restaurant"? Possibly an idiot topic, but answers are welcome Back to top

Breakfast in Bed was not Mike's thought, but Richard Branson's... he wanted something to fit with the "bleeding egg" photo, later recycled for HO. If Mike really wanted to call his album "Breakfast in Bed", he would have USED that photo... don't you think??? -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

But oh well. Opus One doesn't sound that bad of a title at all. It discribes the length of the album, that's for sure. -------------- Terrible, Wonderful, Crazy, Perfect. Back to top
