Kew.Rhone. vs. Kew.Rhône

The cover images displayed at amazon.com and the allmusic review make me think that the album is titled "Kew.Rhone." - without the French looking "ô" and including the trailing dot. Since I think I might add an article for the album, I would like to have that clarified. Cheers, BNutzer 21:34, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

An article on this album would be appreciated. Regarding the title, you're right, there is no ô in Rhone. It shows quite clearly here. But even then I find a number of variations. The reference above refers to it as Kew.Rhone (no spaces, no trailing dot); the Peter Blegvad discography refers to it as Kew.Rhone. (no spaces, trailing dot); RateYourMusic refers to it as Kew. Rhone. (a trailing dot and a space before "Rhone."). Looking at the album cover, it could even be Kew . Rhone . (a space before and after both dots). I honestly don't know what it should be. BTW I still find references to Kew.Rhône, here (halfway down the page) and here. It could be that Rhone is normally spelt Rhône, for example Rhône River. --Bruce1ee 06:19, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I believe the title should be Kew. Rhone. (two dots and a space after the first dot). This is how Peter Blegvad refers to it in an article he wrote on the album published in the Rē Records Quarterly Vol.1 No.1 magazine; allmusic.com also spells it this way. --Bruce1ee 07:22, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I've taken the plunge and created Kew. Rhone.. Feel free to dip in. --Bruce1eetalk 10:54, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

John Greaves and Link Wray 1975

Is John Greaves the bass guitarist in Link Wray's band on The Old Grey Whistle Test 1975 playing 'Unchain My Heart' and 'Midnight Lover'? - Kilgore Troutsky — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.100.51.148 (talk) 23:13, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Looking on Discogs I can't find Link Wray playing on any of the Old Grey Whistle Test albums. —Bruce1eetalk 07:30, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Both on youtube and both featured on BBC4's "Guitar Heroes at the BBC" - Kilgore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.19.206.26 (talk) 08:49, 23 June 2013 (UTC) 99.999% certain it's John Greaves - he plays on Link Wray's "Stuck in Gear" album of 1975, released by Virgin, along with Charlie Charles - the drummer on the OGWT recordings. On "Stuck in Gear", both he and Charles are credited on one track 'Jack the Ripper' which was recorded live at the London Lyceum, so both would have been familiar with Wray's other material and "Midnight Lover" is off the "Stuck in Gear" album.Great recordings BTW - Kilgore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.19.206.26 (talk) 09:43, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the update. —Bruce1eetalk 14:14, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]


it's definitely him in the link wray ogwt clips. elsewhere on YT there's a clip of nat-h doing "the collapso" on the same show three years later, & mr g is using the same eccentrically modified white jazz bass.
