News in brief / site revisions (2001)

For all the latest news about Dicken, his new band Rustic Cowboys - and the Mr Big and Broken Home CD re-issue programme.

[September 6, 2001] Added reviews of "Seppuku" and "Sweet Silence" re-releases - and updated the discography.

[August 15, 2001] Added Holland "Romeo" picture sleeve single.

Mr Big reunion?
[June 2001] Dicken is having talks with former members of Mr Big to do another album and tour. Watch this space! Added more Mr Big TV-appearances.

[May 11, 2001] Added German "Hold Me" picture sleeve single. Oddly, the cover depicts another group - and quite possibly this single was withdrawn from the market shortly after release, when EMI realised their mistake.

[April 25, 2001] Angel Air have now put the "Two Miles From Heaven" interview with Dicken on their webpage. Be sure to check it out - it is a great read! You will find the interview here!

[February 25, 2001] Issue #4 of "Two Miles From Heaven", the official magazine of 'The Mott The Hoople Appreciation Society' was published earlier this month. It contains an exclusive 5 page interview with Dicken, covering his career in great detail - and the recording of "Seppuku" in particular. The magazine is currently only available to subscribers (a four-issue subscription cost £14 in the UK). More info!

"Seppuku" finally released!
[February 2001] "Seppuku", the unreleased Mr Big LP from 1978, produced by Ian Hunter, has finally been released on Angel Air Records. The album has been digitally remastered, using the original master tapes, and comes with a 16 page booklet with sleeve notes by yours truly - including exclusive interviews with Dicken and John Burnip.
