CLUB SANDWICH 28

CHRISTMAS CRACKER

3 signed copies of 'Tug of War' will go to the first three correct entries opened on 1 March. Good Luck! We'll publish winners and answers in the next issue.

            • Dear Sue,
            In the eight years I have been a member of the Fun Club, I don't ever recall a quiz being printed. So instead of waiting for someone else to do one, I've compiled my own, which I have enclosed.
            The questions are not easy, but I hope if you are able to print the quiz in a future edition of CLUB SANDWICH, readers will find it interesting and informative.

SUE'S LETTER

• As we go to press, the hottest news is that the current single, 'The Girl is Mine', by Paul and Michael Jackson (ECP A2729) is rocketing up the charts round the world where it's sure to be a monster hit! It's a song taken from the Epic LP/Cassette Thriller' (EPC 85930), previewing the dynamic Paul/Michael combination which will also be featured on Paul's new album.
• Speaking of the new album, sorry if you got the impression that it was going to be out this year. It almost was, but Paul's had to interrupt finishing it off 'til early in the new year, so it's set now for a spring release. One of the last things completed was a song using children from the Pestalozzi Children's village in Sedlescombe in the chorus - rather a special event both for them and for Paul!
• The album's delay was partly caused by the very tight filming schedule for 'Broad Street' (see page 4) which loomed up, so now Paul's immersed himself completely in the celluloid world. Sure to be a super flick, it stars Paul and features all kinds of fab music. Watch this space for further news. . .
• As another year rolls to a close, we've given this ish our customary festive treatment. Also, we have an original recipe from our resident 'Cook of the House' Linda, which I'm sure you'll love. . .
• Linda's been really busy this autumn with all sorts of projects. The third of her successful photographic exhibitions opened in Paris on 24 November, and I hoar that her new book's already sold out in America, and is now reprinting. Certainly makes a super pressie, as does her Calendar for '83. Most recently, she's been in the studio to work on a new single called 'Love's Full Glory', which is being produced by Tony Visconti.
• So as we end this year of the Tug of War' classic and look to the horizon of '83, it remains for me simply to say, 'Have a Wonderful Christmastime' from all of us here at the SANDWICH.
• 'til next time.
  Sue
