Comment:

Unashamedly romantic tribute to the greatest love story ever...with dedications to Ms Wood for her portrayal of Maria & Ms Hussey as Juliet and to Romeo & Juliets everywhere. Enjoy!
P.S. I ummmed & arred about Lou Reed but felt honour bound to include his take on the subject even though it kinda breaks the ambience...enhances the tragedy...
* Natalie Wood was dubbed on the soundtrack 'coz she couldn't sing but I can't remember the name of the singer.

Nice! Man, you're on a roll. A mix fulla dames who can really belt it out. And I've said once before... anyone who doesn't like the Dire Straits track has no heart.

Do you bite your thumb at me sir? Great stuff. Echo Justin's comments, ha! On a different note, do you have much Jackie DeShannon stuff? You can't find her records in England for anything. If so would be grateful. Let me know.
