Sir Mustapha Group: Musicians Posts: 2802 Joined: April 2003 Posted: Sep. 26 2004, 12:11 I've so waited for this moment. I am so replacing Into Wonderland with Sally on a CD-R. What a funny song! What a fine melody! The vocals are hilarious! Why should anyone think they are bad? -------------- Check out http://ferniecanto.com.br for all my music, including my latest albums: Don't Stay in the City, Making Amends and Builders of Worlds.

raven4x4x Group: Members Posts: 1535 Joined: Jan. 2002 Posted: Sep. 27 2004, 05:23 Well, I think they are bad, or at least annoying. There is a fine line between 'hilarious' and 'silly', and Mike pretty much crossed it here. Unprofessional is another word that comes to mind: he could have recorded the song to much better effect than he did. However, Into Wonderland isn't much better: at least sally isn't boring or dull like its replacement. -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all. Back to top

Just curious, and forgive me for being snoopy. That's not my website. I haven't a clue what the amp circuit is The best thing Mike could have done is to have taken Sally's tune, change the lyrics and have Wendy Roberts singing it instead. I don't think Branson would have minded then Back to top

Sir Mustapha Group: Musicians Posts: 2802 Joined: April 2003 Posted: Sep. 27 2004, 07:09 Unprofessional, perhaps, and what's wrong with that? We already have the title track on the opposite side of the record! That's professional enough for me, already! Oh, well, I have been a fan of Mike's sense of humour, so I'm probably more tolerant about good-offs like those. I mean, give me that over "The Inner Child" any time of the day. -------------- Check out http://ferniecanto.com.br for all my music, including my latest albums: Don't Stay in the City, Making Amends and Builders of Worlds.

Daftyboy Group: Members Posts: 17 Joined: Sep. 2005 Posted: Sep. 08 2005, 16:28 Many thanks for the download (whoever's worked in the end!. I'm so used to 'Into Wonderland' now that it's a bit of a shock to think this was there in its place. I have to say (IMO) not amazing. A nice bit of guitar at the end but I'm just too used to 'Wonderland' after all these years, still love that wobbly keyboard solo! The big question is still 'why change it?' Lots of albums have something dodgy buried in the middle of side 2. Also, plenty of room for both songs on the album (which there will be when I get CDRing! Thanks again for the download, Adrian Back to top

If you've heard the CD of Platinum, then despite what it says on the cover and the label, you've heard Into Wonderland and not Sally. Jules -------------- I like beer and I like cheese Back to top

MusicallyInspired Group: Musicians Posts: 1445 Joined: June 2001 Posted: Sep. 09 2005, 09:45 Oh yes, I've just heard the sally file here and it is different than what I've heard. I guess Into Wonderland was what I always thought it was. I just thought it was called Sally.

Also Punkadiddle's intro is not really part of that song but the bridge between both, Sally and Punkadiddle. It seems that the version included on Impressions does not have this intro. For those who still don't have if they have Sally or Into Wonderland the best way to check is trying the lyrics (but Sally was only in the firsts few pressings of Platinum LP). Back to top

raven4x4x Group: Members Posts: 1535 Joined: Jan. 2002 Posted: Sep. 13 2005, 20:18 I've always wondered why the track listing was never changed. If they're prepared to go to the trouble of stopping the pressing, (presumably) recording a new song and sticking that on, how hard could it have been to change a few words on the back cover? -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all.

I've seen pressings that said Into Wonderland (and included IW) and ones that said Sally (and included IW) of both CD and LP. One thing I am yet to get is a LP that actually *does* have Sally on it. I love the song, the fact that its themes are featured elsewhere on the album (like Platinum: the "pipe"+guitar tune at 3:22 is actually the chorus of Sally) and I've done one large mp3 that has Sally mixed with the rest of the album. Guess what -- I love it Platinum makes SO much more sense when Sally is included. Oh and, F YOU R B. :P -------------- http://www.raygrant.com :: My album 'Exorcism' is out on iTunes now Back to top

I agree about "Sally" - it fits the flow of the record much better. Jules -------------- I like beer and I like cheese Back to top

Only 5,000????? I would listen to it to and from work for a few years, not counting the countless times I'd listen to it just to hear it.  (Guess this post should be under the Ommadawn forum, but couldn't resist! )  It is still my all time favorite of Mike's work!
