So that Dragonfly on video was a performance? It's so cool! It's cooler than the studio track. How did they get that marvelous singing on it? Is that Christine singing a harmony up a third?

What is the best quality recording of one of these live performances of dragonfly? I must have it for my christine compilation!

Mike Vernon didn't say exactly how the engineer(a guy by the name of Duncan Cowell)was able to do it, but he was, except for one track..."I Wanna See My Baby" has laughter at the beginning of the track. He couldn't remove it. By the way, Vernon did have some contact with Andy Silvester as he was getting the box set ready & he mentioned that Andy hated Stan's impressions & asked Vernon to remove them if possible for this box set.

Don't you have that BBC recording of "Dragonfly"? I posted that one in the Chris forum last year, I believe.

David, that's a very cool Christine compilation, by the way.
