I also have one more review to regale everyone with----the Pink Lady Platinum Box! This brilliant collection which came out in 20XX consisted of both CD’s with the hits, Disco tracks and songs from the Silver Album, and a DVD with Mie and Kei performing on TV shows like Let’s Go Young. Yours truly handled this review and I enjoyed doing that immensely. I hope you’ll enjoy it as well. Until next time, take care and have a great day! Until next month, take care and have a great day!
Your Friend,

Welcome to June! I hope all is well with everyone. I’m sure you know that old saying: “April showers bring May flowers”? Well, what happens in June when we see lots of May showers? The month that just ended had been one of the wettest, and, in my mind, one of the dreariest in recent memory, chillier too, what with more than a few days when the mercury failed to crack 60. I just know the weeds in my front yard and backyard have benefitted big time from all this rain, which means work to do getting rid of it all. URGH!
This month’s features are all about reviews. It was some 45 years ago that Pink Lady released what fans have simply called, “The Silver Album” (not to be confused with The Beatles’ White Album) which I found to have been something of an odd duck. As PL fans well know, by 1980, things were not exactly going gangbusters for Mie and Kei, if anything, they were crashing and burning, after their unparalleled run of chart topping singles ended in December 1978, the following year was filled with misses, and 1980 was worse, what with the debacle that was Pink Lady & Jeff and a shift in musical stylings that was said to have left fans adrift. Into that atmosphere came the Silver Album, a 3-disc box set that was mostly old hits, b-sides, but had eleven brand new songs mixed in, songs I found to have been most interesting and entertaining. Listening to those newer songs, I wished only those had been released on that album which would’ve been the first time PL put out so much new material since Magical Music Tour (not to be confused with Magical Mystery Tour by you-know-who) a year before. Trulawn “Trooper Tru” McCray was kind enough to do a review of those special songs for your reading pleasure.
