Down the British Library yesterday so I copied an article from MM dated 11th Feb '75 announcing the Best Years Tour.... erm, but it seems I can't get the image to load. :(

I use Photobucket to upload pictures on here. I can't just upload pictures from my laptop. Photobucket is free and easy.

I probably had that copy of Melody Maker. Typically I just cut out the pictures for my wall and chucked the articles away. ;)

I usually cadged a copy off someone else for a read now and then. So if you missed an article - it stayed missed, never to be seen. Or so it used to be...

Ah ha! Stella you are a diamond, it works! :) :) :)

The first article just announces a new single (MMS) and the tour in a copy of Melody Maker dated the 11/02/75. I also took a pic of the later full page ad for the tour which was in a copy dated 08/03/75. I think you can also view that simply by scrolling sideways. Both are still readable when enlarged. (I think I will need to improve my photographing techniques!)

There was also an ad for Duncan MacKay's Score (2nd April 1977) which I bagged in passing, I'II stick that on there as well.

If this is useful/readable let me know, and we can see what can be done about getting a few full page MM interviews on here.

Brilliant GedKen. Now try using the URL link ;)

Many thanks again Stella. I should have paid more attention in my Computer Studies class (as it used to be called).

The Harley article mentions that the BYOOL album would form the basis of a special stage show for the tour. Does anyone have any recollections of the stage show on that tour?

The 'walking on water' was still to come some two months later at Crystal Palace, I'm just wondering what, if anything, preceded that?
