[kj] red beat CD

[Paul M.B. Jones]

Hi Jamie!

Good to hear that your happy with your Red Beat Album!

There will be a follow up Album!

We have a Miles Copeland (Stings manager) session recording and a Stiff 
Records Session to be released soon! All previously unreleased 
material! Our German hit "Power Reflex" was televised in Germany, 
Austria and Switzerland. A potential re-release! So stay tuned to the 
manic machine!

We didn't split up! We went through a process of metamorphosis! Changed 
the band name a few times, "Wheel of Change" "Red White and Phoenix." 
Roy and Martin toured America extensively with big brother Howard in 
the 80's!

Anyone know what happened to Mark Whiteley, from the "Folk Devils?" 
Someone told me he was working with "The Stranglers!" Recorded a song 
with him too! "The Will of the Dove"

Kris is living in Scotland! Married with kids!

Paul.
