Ok, here it is.
One of the songs planned for "Twin Turbos"
was covered and released before Priest.
Glenn was really pissed about it.
Which song is it and which band has covered the song?

Michael, if your still about, would you like to take the next question?

Michael you are correct!

Take on the World was released in January of 1979! The Bristish really liked it because it went well with the soccer games, think they used to play it like we play songs during football, but I can't quiet remember that part very well. 

Bev, as always you are much appriciated! And You are correct! I was a little bit off PC with my last Question, should have been kinder with my commentary. I stand corrected.

On April 4, 2003 Ms. Lissimore had her claim dismissed by a judge and was ordered to pay 100,000 pounds in court costs.

As for What Mr. Downing is doing with Astbury I have heard a ton of different stories and will not venture a guess as to which one is correct. I'm sure when he is ready to go public with his resort? he will let everyone know all about it. Good for business.

In an attempted to turn the kharma back to a positive ...  the woman was misguided, believing she was owed anything for maintaining the property while Ken was away.  In that alone she served a purpose.  She was not entitled to what she claimed she was entitled.   That I will defend staunchly.  I believe the story goes that she left her chosen profession as a chemist to move to Astbury, but I don't remember her name, sorry.
