Video poll
You can already watch
the videos of two marvellous rare songs of SAILOR's latest
headline concert in Lauterbach (Germany) on 17 December 2011 -
"Cool Breeze" and "Let's Go To Town" - right
here. But now we'd like to know which other song you'd like to
see here as a video...
For a long time, "Blame It On The Soft Spot" seemed to
be the winner, but at the very end it changed. So the
winner video with 26 % of all votes is:
Best wishes and
SAILOR-greetings,

Thankyou all for your support during
the whole of 2011. We hope you continue to enjoy the SAILOR club
website. Please keep coming back to us here at www.sailor-music.com in 2012!
This
is our way to say *Happy New Year* to all SAILOR fans out there.
The video shows the original line-up of the band with "Let's
Go To Town", first song at their first ever TV performance
in 1974 and the same song played live by the present band line-up
as the last encore of their latest big concert in December 2011.
Enjoy!

Merry
Christmas from the band
A
message from Phil Pickett:
SAILOR wishes
all the fans a very merry Christmas and are now -
especially with Tom & Ollie on board - more than ever
looking forward to playing throughout Germany and Europe
in 2012.
The Lauterbach show arranged by Werner and Renate in
their own home town was a real joy for us and seemed to
'cement' Tom and Oliver into SAILOR's fraternity and
history. It's probably easier for me - now being the only
"non- Marsh" in the band! - to state that in my
opinion, this is probably the greatest line-up (obviously
apart from the original) that the group has enjoyed, and
the power, enthusiasm and sheer vigour Henry's sons have
injected into our music is incomparable! (Whether Henry
and I can keep up is another matter however!) Having
said, that of course we will always miss and appreciate
the uniqueness and great company of Grant and Georg - but
hey, none of us can go on doing this forever!! Can we?
We've all heard the clichés such as a 'shot in the arm'
and 'youthful resurgence' that younger players bring to a
band's music - but this really does feel like a brand new
SAILOR to me - so much so that for the first time in a
very long time, we have added songs to the repertoire -
like 'Lets Go To Town' and 'Cool Breeze' - as are feeling
so confident about the future for SAILOR now that Ollie
and Tom are part of it all. Growing up as they did
surrounded by the SAILOR 'vibe' and literally being a
part of our family is a very special experience for me.
Everyone felt on the way home - through a lovely
'Christmassy' drive in the Black Forest in the snow -
that Werner's event was a new landmark in the band's
history, the longest show we have ever played (1 hour
45mins) and probably the most enjoyable - and we were
very happy and delighted to note that so many of our most
loyal fans made it to the show.
So, Happy Christmas everybody.
See you all again next year!
Phil
A
message from Henry Marsh:
Last Saturday
was a celebration of all that is great about being in
SAILOR. We had a chance to play exclusivley to our fans,
many of whom had travelled a very long way.
The return of Oliver with his magnificent voice and stage
presence and Tom with his powerhouse drumming have
definitely put the band into Turbo!
For Phil and myself revisiting two songs "Let's Go
To Town" and "Cool Breeze" was a
refreshing experience and thanks to Werner and Renate we
had the best environment to perform these.
Many thanks to the Mayor and the people of Lauterbach for
their wonderful hospitality. It was a very special
evening and I hope we can do it again next year.
Love to All
Henry
And
here's our Christmas gift... some real rarities, performed live
last Saturday in Lauterbach:

Merry Christmas and
all the very best,

Book: The
Scrapbook
Release date: November 2011
The SAILOR
Scrapbook has arrived!
(By James McCarraher with a foreword by Henry Marsh and
Phil Pickett.)
"A rare
and valuable photographic archive charting the rise of
one of the most innovative and creative bands of the
Seventies."
In 2004, Sarum Publishing released 'The SAILOR Story',
charting the career of a band who succeeded in conquering
Europe with their original sound. Despite 'The SAILOR
Story' running to over 300 pages, literally hundreds of
photographs liberated from the Sony vaults in Aylesbury,
England, could not be included in the original
publication due to lack of space.
At last, seven years after the release of the original
book, its companion has arrived, charting the history of
the band in words and photographs from their signing to
CBS Records in 1974, through the heady days of hits and
headlines, and concluding with their first split towards
the end of the decade. The vast majority of the images in
this book are previously unpublished, making this an
absolute must-buy for SAILOR fans.
Best wishes and SAILOR-greetings,

New blog
After my
old blog had been rather silent for quite a while, due to
the fact that I had to pay more and more to keep it
add-free and spam-free, I decided to move it and start to
write about my SAILOR and SAILOR-related news more
regularly again.
You can now find my blog on Facebook - www.facebook.com/#!/pages/sailor-musiccom- and either "like" the
page and become a member, or you can also simply read the
entries on the wall without being a Facebook-member or a
page member.
The old blog is still there as an archive, but if you'd
like to occasionally check out what we are up to in the
SAILOR-world, check out the link above!
Best wishes
and SAILOR-greetings,
