Hum... an Anthology and yet it doesn't include the Hits Heartache, Bruises, Vagabond etc ??? Well, they want probably to protect their library, Vagabond was recently included in the new version of Discover Box Set for the first time. Anyway, since I collect GLJ, I will have no choice but to get it![:D]

[DJ Lestat]

I wonder if the both brothers will be touring together or is it just Jay or just Michael? I saw them many times and whenever you go to a GLJ show you never know who will be on stage as they have both been touring and playing under the name.

[fanciz]

Gosh! I felt so bad! GLJ was supposed to perform in Manila and I went directly to the office of the promoter to buy third row tickets. It must have been round 89. Posters were out, everything was ready and then plouf! The show was canceled, I think there was an earthquake in California, which had delayed their recording sessions or something like that. [:(]

[Otters Walk Among Us]

I bought the reissues of the first three albums, which is all the GLJ I could ever need.

I can't be the only one that thinks later hits like Jealous and Motion of Love were terrible.

Having most of the GLJ albums, I would agree that their very last releases are not on a par with their first but Motion Of Love terrible? It's a NW anthem! I even bought the single![;)]
BTW Motion Of Love appears in their fourth album The House Of Dolls which I consider their second best behind Discover.
