While we eagerly await that work, sit back and enjoy this "Wizard of Oz" gem - you're in for a real treat. According to The Root, McMillan is the head of the ARTWAR label which signed a joint venture deal with Atlantic Records. While researching this post I noticed on the EBTG site that Tracey - in a recent picture above, long in retirement since becoming a mother - is working on a new solo album with a tentative February 2007 release date (I could die!). (Whatever the case may be, the James McMillan involved in this song is a real talent.) These day, his name comes up as an arranger on "American Idol" (I see Kimberley Locke also covered "Over the Rainbow"), although I'm not even certain it's the same James McMillan. I don't know much about James McMillan, but I do know he played on EBTG's "Idylwild" album and later toured with the band, and also worked with Sade. (Ben and Tracey: I don't feel any guilt about putting this song up on my site as I'm 100 percent certain there is no way anyone could buy it - no matter how desperately they wanted to.) A fellow fan from Boston recently sent me a CDR of the virtually-impossible-to-find collaboration between the trumpet player James McMillan and Tracey Thorn doing the classic Judy Garland song "Over the Rainbow." I'm happy to report that the 20-year wait was well worth it as it's everything you'd ever dream it could be. My obsessive-compulsive music collecting tendencies led me to spend hundreds of dollars as a kid grabbing up all of their import 45's, 12" singles (so many great b-sides!) and albums (and then doing it all over on cassette and CD), yet there was one song in the discography that eluded me for decades - until now. Here is Caden's phone number (732) 291-7580 (Verizon New Jersey, Inc). Cathy C Mcmillan and Donald G Mcmillan are connected to this place. I can still remember the first time I heard them back in high school in 1984 on the Rock Over London radio program one Sunday night performing their jazzy single "Each and Everyone." I was instantly hooked. 2 Millers Crssing, Atlantic Highlands, NJ 07716-2435 is the last known address for Caden. I'm probably the biggest Everything But the Girl fan this side of the Atlantic.
