moonchildhippy Group: Members Posts: 1807 Joined: Dec. 2004 Posted: June 06 2005, 19:29 I've a question that has been bugging me for some time. I understand there's some fans of the band Sky who post on Tubular Board.  I believe that Sky had a UK hit single, must be between 1977-80 , I'm wondering if anyone knows what it was called and what chart position it reached.  I have the Sky 2 album, bought recently for £0.69, in a charity shop, a bargain     , I guess this track must be off the "Sky" album.   I think at the time it came out I was too young to really appreciate music, and spent my time bouncing around on my Spacehopper       Any help greatly appriciated, many thanks   . -------------- I'm going slightly mad, It finally happened, I'm slightly mad , just very slightly mad If you feel a little glum to Hergest Ridge you should come. I'm challenging  taboos surrounding mental health "Part time hippy" I'M SUPPORTING OUR SOLDIERS BRING OUR TROOPS HOME NOW!! Back to top

And yes, it is from the first album also on Sky 5 Live. -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top

Toccata and Fugue, I knew the tune, but had no idea what it was called. Tansy the shop was my local Age Concern Shop, I did find a second copy of Sky 2, shortly after finding mine, I'll look out for it for you. -------------- I'm going slightly mad, It finally happened, I'm slightly mad , just very slightly mad If you feel a little glum to Hergest Ridge you should come.

Guest Unregistered Posted: June 08 2005, 08:24 Tansy, if you type 'masterworks ktel' into Google, you will find a couple of people (I really do mean only a couple) selling a copy of it. You might try scouring the charity shops for a copy, but you will only find it on vinyl as it was never released on CD. However, if you go to this page, you will see that Ktel have a new scheme whereby you can choose tracks to make a custom CD, and as you will see, all the tracks from Masterworks are there. I don't know how much it costs, but if it's reasonable enough I might buy a copy myself, because I always loved that album. In the mean time, if anyone has it in MP3 format, please get in touch.

Now moonchildhippy won't have to endure a marathon stint looking in charity shops on my behalf(but,a genuinely sweet & thoughtful gesture all the same) Back to top

David Mar Group: Members Posts: 457 Joined: Oct. 2001 Posted: July 16 2005, 04:44 'Toccata' was a single off 'Sky 2', and 'Masterpieces' is the name of the compilation album. There's a website for them! See below! http://plum.cream.org/sky/ Back to top
