To whom it may concern:
My E-mail address has already changed to henrylau@smartt.com.
Thank you!!!
One more thing, I want to know when the last 2 remastered The Who
album "My generation" ("The Who sing my generation" in U.S.), and "Odds and Sods"
are released. Can you tell me a date, please? I hope these 2 remastered album are
not as bad as the last 2 , It's hard and Faces dances. Will they release live
album of the last year's Quadopenia tour?
