Text Box: The Four Seasons UK Appreciation Society Newsletter Text Box: George Ingram is busy this month and so he has asked me to pull together our best articles since Newsletter 52 and as a pre-Christmas treat summarise them for easy download here. It’s been a great year for us in terms of research and 2010 promises to be equally full and we hope entertaining. This year has seen us discover ‘previously unreleased’ music by the group and to launch our major project on the Rise and The Fall of The NEW Four Seasons as well as the development of our now comprehensive CD Discograpy and Sound evaluation guide. 2010 promises more great things for fans with the planned completion of Chapters 6, 7 and 8 of the Rise and Fall which will take us through to 1982 and Frankie’s nervous breakdown and the collapse of the ‘official Text Box: subscription based fan clubs’. We know of 2 potential CD projects by collectors in Europe and a commercial release of rare tracks from the early days of the group, planned for 2010 and we’ll be the first to review these when they appear. We’ll issue more reviews of the sound quality of CD’s in our discography and of course another fans get-together will be planned. We can’t promise that all these things will happen….but we’ll keep everything crossed that they do. And we will hopefully have another Newsletter publication (web site and hard copy) when our long-suffering University Tutor and editor George Ingram can get some time away from his students. Until then enjoy what we have and particularly the ‘bonus tracks!’ below, Courtesy of George.. Best for now Casey Chameleon
