For $35 he bought a suitcase that appears to contain early, lost Beatles tapes and photographs that may have belonged to one of the group's roadies whose possessions disappeared after he was shot and killed in a gun battle with cops in Los Angeles. Now, there is serendipity for you. That'll inspire you to attend more flea markets, eh Max? Currently the material is being evaluated/authenticated by experts. Claughton may be out of luck as the courts have consistantly upheld the coyrights, held by Apple Records, to all Beatles material.

Having a VERY good winter. My sammarinese friend can't get over the way our nights can drop to around -1° or -2°C then have the day , clear and sunny, climb to around 13°C. The range in temperatures suprised him, since he said that the range there would be more like -1° or -2° at night and 1° or 2° during the day. noho ora mai http://maxqnzs.com/References.html Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Lucky Brit in Australia #130463 07/16/04 10:47 PM Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 3,439 New England, USA W wow OP Carpal Tunnel OP wow Carpal Tunnel W Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 3,439 New England, USA assumption that I live on the penal side of the Tasman? No No No, dear Max. Heaven forfend! I was thinking that if something good was found at an Aussie Flea Market, something magnificent would turn up at one in NZ!
