Hi. Possible bad news for some recent people who posted: The
computer locked Friday
afternoon and I had to shut it down
without doing a save. Now I was doing a bunch of issues for the
week, and I think one
might have been lost. If you fail to see a
post you sent in a week or two ago, please let me know. UNLESS
you sent it to
Yog88-at-aol.com, that address is the wrong one, and
those posts are not lost in space, but they are lost in time...you'll
see
them eventually.
And to those of you who ask why there is a 2 week backlog? That's
'cause you all just LOVE to make work
for me. There are too many
incoming posts to be up to date.
AND AWAY WE GO...
***************************
First and
foremost, it's time we begin to gather the money for
charity. Now I have not yet heard back from the Imperial people,
so I'm
thinking we should help some London children instead.
Here's the deal as I know it: We trust each other enough to do
the
cash thing right? So if you are in North America, send your
donation to me in the form of cash or a check in my name:
AG
Gardonyi
email Amanda at YOGMAEL-at-aol.com for address
I will take all the cash and run up a back draft for the charity.
If
you are in Australia or Asia, your contact is:
George Bielinski
email Amanda at YOGMAEL-at-aol.com for address
He'll do the
same.
There is no European contact as yet. I'm working on it. Have one
for you by Thursday.
Let's pick an arbitrary
date of May 1st to use as the cut off. Please
send your donation ASAP.

Amanda and fellow
YOGMÆLERS,
I have some good news: Elliott from ÆGEAN is (hopefully) going to
update us fortnightly on what's GM doing and
what's happening at
ÆGEAN. But why don't you just read it yourselves. Here it is:

So I think
it is about time that we *start* collecting money for the cancer
research. We need volunteers/donors/whatever from all over the
world.

Hi
Everyone:
I just joined YOGMAEL yesterday and received my second newsletter.
It's fantastic!!
I want to thank to all of
you who brought me so much information about
GM, especially Amanda -- thank you for letting me in. When I know I
can get in
touch with all the GM fans around the world, I just can't wait
to open my e-mail box and guess I'll definitely do that every
night from
now on, hoping to receive another great issue of YOGMAEL.
My name is Simon (Chinese name Ko Poh Shi), I'm an
university student
from Taiwan. I've been a fan of GM since I was in junior high school.
Although I also enjoy many other
artists' songs and voices ( like Chris
De Burgh who will hold a concert here in Taipei this 25th), GM had and
will always be
my most favorite and admirable artist. Maybe many of you
don't know much about Taiwan. But in here, GM is always one of the most
favorite
foreign pop artist, sometimes even rank No.1 and out score
Michael Jackson (you know how people often been obsessed by his fancy
dance
steps rather than his songs). Anyway, I love GM, not his pop
image, but his songs and the ideas he expresses in his lyrics.
There's
a whole lot more I wish I could talk about how I love GM, but
due to my limited English ability and the lack of information here
in
Taiwan about GM, so I really hope that I can get to know him more from
reading this newsletter each day. Of course, if
there's any news come up
in Taiwan about GM that's available, I'll post it on YOGMAEL and
hopefully it'll be useful.
thanx
again!
Simon

Hello
everyone!,
I don't know if anybody else has said this or not , but I was in Tower
Records in Sacramento California and they
had the cd single for Star
People in. I don't remember how much it was though. Just thought I
would let you all know. Peace

I
just bought a 2-CD set of George Michael's performance on the BBC
in October, which I believe was also the MTV Unplugged special,
along
with an hour-long interview with George. It is fantastic, of course, but I
am not sure if it is a bootleg or not. Any
ideas?
ttfn
(Bootleg it is indeed. And the BBC show was actually somewhat
different from the Unplugged. AG)

Hi Amanda and friends:
I just wanted to ask you
people a few Qs...
I've been to the KTS Record Company Website ( http://www.kts.it/ ) and
this is what i found:
They
just released an ' Acoustic ' record ( you guessed it right! the
Unplugged !! ) it has the same songs he performed on the MTV
show t
hey aired, so it is 45 minutes long.
But the interesting thing is that in the COMING UP titles they listed
another
GM record yet to be released:
KTS638 - George Michael - Free For Love
what is it??? Does anyone know anything on it??
track listing??
Now, i have currently a brother in the UK and, since in my country i get
no singles, i was thinking of
telling him to buy me some good ones, but
i'm kinda shot of cash right now, so, can anyone tell me what would be
the best
choice for a GM single?? I already asked him to buy Madonna's
DCFMA for me, what do you think of it Amanda?
(I paid $10
Canuck for it, and I thought it was worth it. AG)
I've noticed you're a BIG Madonna fan, huh? So am i...
(For various
reasons--mostly insulting--Madonna is one of my nicknames.
I even have my very own Niki and Donna... AG)
This is it for
now!!
Thanks for any info...
GC

Just try this...:

Then,
you will have all the menus... and the
"Save As..." command.
Thanks again for all this work Amanda.

Star People was released on the 18th in
the US. I found the CD single
and was disappoined that their was only one remix. BTW, the CD single
has the same track listing
as the cassette single. However, my friend in
Florida called me and said he bought the maxi-single. It has the same
track
listing as the 12". So both are now available in the US. If the
rumor about Canada is true, I could pick up some singles for
those who
don't have access.
(Canada has them. So far all I've seen is the 6 track one. AG)
Those in other countries
too, of course.
As soon as I find out I'll let everyone know how it does in its first week
on the charts.
Also, If
anyone has the Fastlove maxi-single, the one that says,
"FastLove - The Remixes", could you let me know what remixes
are on
there. Are they the Glove Mixes? I'm also interested in purchasing the
Fastlove maxi-single, if anyone has an extra.
Same goes for the Glove
Mixes (if they are different than the maxi-single).
I heard that the maxi-single was very rare and
only produced on a limited
basis. I wonder why.
Thanks,
Shawn

Hi, i am glad to say the
Star People singles on cd both came out on the
18th as they said it would and the record stores in Orlando, Florida is
overflowing
with it. The single with the radio mix is much cheaper than
the other version with the six tracks. Hopefully they will show up
soon
in your neck of the woods.

hey Amanda,
GM mentioned again in
cybersleaze. At first I thought this was old news,
then I read it and realized they were talking about a new car...
(No,
it's still old news, and its a bit inaccurate. There was a 2 year
waiting list for the XK8 if memory serves, and the other Jag
was banged
up fairly recently. Of course, I could be wrong. AG)
Pop star GEORGE MICHAEL has spent $100,000 on his dream
car, a
Jaguar XK8. The pop superstar, 33 - who had smash hits around the world
with FASTLOVE and JESUS TO A CHILD - ordered
the breath-taking car
before it even went on sale last year. He was seen behind the wheel of the
155mph blue convertible as he
left a recording studio in West London. A pal
says, "George fell in love with the XK8 before they went on sale. He put his
order
in and was one of the first to take delivery. "It really is a beautiful
car."
The new British-built motor replaces
the former WHAM! star's old Jag, which
his chauffeur crashed earlier this year. The $80,000 car was sold off for
parts
and
George's fans queued up to buy a piece as a souvenir. The pal added,
"George also owns a Range Rover and a BMW but the Jag
is his favorite.
The others are gathering dust now."
Later,
meg
