| danish articles from 1978 |
||
| To celebrate the fact that Robert will be performing in Næstved, Denmark on Friday, September 2nd, we've added a collection of Danish articles from around the time of his first two appearances here in 1978. Robert hasn't performed in Denmark since, and we've received a lot of mails from Danish fans writing that they are really looking forward to the show. Peter Frandsen was kind enough to send us these articles, and as a special salute to the Danish fans, they can now be downloaded for a limited period.

| exclusive jeff salen interview | ||
| Last week, we had a nice scoop with a selection of unpublished pics from Robert's Tuff Darts days, and as an icing on the cake, we have just added an exclusive e-mail interview with Tuff Darts guitarist/songwriter Jeff Salen to our interviews section. Not much is known about this period, so we're grateful to Jeff for sharing his insights with us. Jeff wrote songs like 'All For The Love Of Rock 'n' Roll' and 'Love & Trouble', which were performed by Gordon in the mid-seventies, and recorded by him in the early '90s.

| rare audio update | ||
| We've added two unique recordings to our rare audio section, "Heartbreak Hotel" and "Fire" from a show at the Paramount Theatre in Ashbury Park, N.J., on May 27th 1979. Robert is singing duet with Bruce Springsteen on both. They were recorded from the audience, so the audio is a bit rough, but nevertheless we wanted to share these with you. |
||
| rare tuff darts photos | ||
| We are proud to be able to present you with a host of rare shots of Robert with his mid-seventies band the Tuff Darts. These photos were probably taken in 1976. It's difficult to find anything at all from this period, so we're indebted to photographer Nicky for sharing these with us.

| exclusive anton fig interview | ||
| We've just added our exclusive interview with Anton Fig, the sensational drummer whose association with Robert started in the Link Wray period, and who continued to work with Robert on an on-and-off basis until the late '80s. Anton is the regular drummer in the 'Dave Letterman Show' band, but despite his busy schedule he was kind enough to answer our questions. |

| unreleased material on european 'greetings' reissue | ||
| The album 'Greetings from New York City', which is considered by many to be one of Robert's finest albums, will be reissued shortly in Europe by the French label Last Call. This label is owned by Patrick Mathé, the man behind the now-defunct New Rose label, which released the original 14 years ago. The reissue will contain several previously unreleased tracks, including a great cover of Presley's 'It Feels So Right' from a performance at the Bevrijdings Popfestival in Haarlem, Holland on May 5th,
1993. |
