Re: Brit Awards videotape (fwd)
Hopefully by the time the digest goes out tonight someone will post how Tori did at the Brits (that is tonight, right?). Meanwhile here's a post forwarded from the Enya mailing list to the Kate mailing list to here: bvmi@odin.cc.pdx.edu (Michael Bowman) writes: > Thought you might be interested in this message from the Enya mailing list: > > Forwarded message: > > Subject: Brit Awards videotape > > From: P Warburton <pwarburt@ibmpcug.co.uk> > > Date: Fri, 12 Feb 93 21:56:09 GMT > > > > (Apologies if this is old news.) > > > > Earlier this week I bought the video collection _The Awards 1993_, which > > consists of videos by the nominated artistes in The Brit Awards.

Does anyone know which Tori appears on this tape? I assume that this is a UK only release. Does anyone know the label and catalog number for this release? We still don't know the label of the _All Women 2_ release that was mentioned here, either. "Don't drive too slowly." Richard Caldwell The Big Sky BBS (+1 614 864 1198) nrc@bsbbs.Columbus.OH.US
