Tony Carey

Anthony Lawrence Carey (born October 16, 1953, Watsonville, California, United States) is an American-born, European-based musician, composer, producer, and singer/songwriter. In his early career he was a keyboardist for Rainbow. After his departure in 1977, he began a solo career, releasing albums under his own name as well under the pseudonym Planet P Project, and producing for and performing with other artists.

Early history
Carey had been playing his church's piano during off hours since he was very young, and was permitted to play the pipe organ as well. His family acquired a piano when he was seven, and at the age of eleven he got his first acoustic guitar and formed his first group, which played music by The Mamas and the Papas and others. His father gave him a Lowrey organ for his 14th birthday, and he started a rock band with other neighborhood children, playing music by The Doors. He also played contrabass in his school's orchestra.

At age 17, Carey moved to New Hampshire to start a new band called Blessings, which secured a recording contract with ABC Dunhill. After two years, the band was unable to complete its first album. According to Carey, this was due to his own involvement with girls, the producer's drug use, and difficulties with the record label.

Rainbow
While Blessings were in S. I. R. Rehearsal Studios in Hollywood working on material for their unfinished album, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple was in another room, with bassist Jimmy Bain, auditioning musicians for his new band Rainbow. This led to Carey being auditioned, and an invitation to join Rainbow, which he accepted.

He recorded one studio album with Rainbow, the acclaimed 1976 release Rising. Carey's work on the album included the keyboard introduction to the opening track "Tarot Woman", and an extended keyboard solo on the final track "A Light in the Black". During Carey's two world tours with Rainbow, live material was recorded and subsequently released as two double LPs, On Stage (1977) and Live in Germany (1990). A six-disc CD box set containing music from the 1976 European leg of the tour, Deutschland Tournee 1976, was released in 2006.

Carey recorded keyboard parts for Rainbow's next studio album, Long Live Rock 'n' Roll (1978), many of which he says were included in the final album.

1977–1983: Early solo years
Carey left Rainbow in 1977 and moved to Germany in August 1978, where he began a solo career. During this period he spent many 20-hour days in a recording studio in Frankfurt with his friend and recording engineer Nigel Jopson, together with engineer Andy Lunn. The studio's owner, producer Peter Hauke, allowed Carey to use it for free and he subsequently recorded a great deal of instrumental music in many different styles, and learned how to engineer as well as perform in the studio. Carey's debut solo single Jamie was released in the US and Germany 1981 on the Mirage label, which was owned by Jerry L. Greenberg. But Carey was looking for a direction and at the time he was heavily influenced by bands like Kraftwerk. Yellow Power was released in 1982 as an instrumental album, together with his first recordings as a singer from 1980, In the Absence of the Cat, also released in 1982 on the indie label X-Records. A trio of instrumental albums, Explorer, No Human and Heaven, were also recorded during this period, but were never originally approved for release by Carey.

Tony Carey released I Won't Be Home Tonight on the Rocshire label in 1982, along with the single "West Coast Summer Nights". The album peaked at #167 on the Billboard 200, and the single peaked at #64 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The title track was also released as a single, peaking at #79 on the Hot 100 and #8 on Billboard's Top Rock Tracks chart. Following the death of Rocshire's promoter, Stacy Davis, the label's co-owners were imprisoned for embezzlement, resulting in its closure. The album rights and masters for I Won't Be Home Tonight were seized by federal authorities, and they remain the property of the US Internal Revenue Service. Carey found himself without a label.

1983–1985: Planet P Project, Geffen, and MCA
Following the release of I Won't Be Home Tonight, Carey was signed to Geffen Records, and released his first album under the Planet P Project pseudonym, which he would use throughout his career for his more progressive and experimental music. Planet P Project, was released in March 1983 to modest reviews and reached #42 on the Billboard 200. During March, it peaked at #15 on Billboard's Rock Albums chart, with I Won't Be Home Tonight reaching #8.

Two singles were released from Planet P Project: "Why Me", which reached #64 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and #4 in the magazine's Top Rock Tracks chart; and "Static", which reached #24 on Top Rock Tracks. The deal with Geffen stipulated that Carey was not to appear in any Planet P Project music videos or do any personal promotion, as it was in obvious conflict with the Tony Carey albums.

Carey followed this release with his second solo album, Some Tough City, John Kalodner at Geffen didn't like Carey's lyrics so due to a dispute, Carey moved to MCA Records.

In March 1984, MCA released Some Tough City, which peaked at #60 on the Billboard 200 album chart. The single "A Fine, Fine Day" reached #22 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and #1 on the Top Rock Tracks chart. A follow-up single, "The First Day of Summer", reached #33 on the Hot 100 in July 1984 and appeared in the 1985 film Secret Admirer. Carey opened for Night Ranger on many dates of their 1984 tour in support of this album.

In late 1984, MCA released Planet P Project's Pink World as a double LP, reaching #121 on the Billboard 200. The album is a rock opera for which Carey wrote the lyrics and music, sang all vocals, and played most of the instruments. The single "What I See" reached #25 on Billboard's Top Rock Tracks. Both the LP and the single were released on pink vinyl. A music video for two songs on Pink World, "What I See" and "Behind the Barrier", remained in rotation for ten weeks on MTV.

Carey's 1985 final album for MCA, Blue Highway, took a year to record and did not score a hit on radio. Jimmy Barnes sang backing vocals on three songs and Jennifer Rush covered one of its songs, "Live Wire", on her album "Movin'. Carey filed a seven figure lawsuit against Peter Hauke, left Frankfurt and started recording in a studio in Tutzing with Peter Maffay.

1986–1989: Music producer, composer, film soundtracks
Carey began producing and making guest appearances on releases by other artists. In 1986 he produced and co-wrote "Now That You're Gone" by Joe Cocker, the title song from the German movie Schimanski: The Crack Connection (German title: "Zabou"), starring Götz George.

Carey continued to record soundtracks. In 1987 he released Bedtime Story (soundtrack for the German film Lethal Obsession) on Teldec. Chris Thompson sang backing vocals, and Peter Maffay co-wrote three of the tracks. Carey also recorded the soundtrack for Wilder Westen Inclusive, a three-part television film directed by Dieter Wedel. This featured the single "Room With A View", which reached #3 on the German charts in 1989 and received a Gold record.

Carey produced and played keyboards for the 1988 album Chicago Line by John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers. He also played on albums with artists including Peter Maffay, Milva and Anne Haigis.

In November 1989, Carey released the album For You, on Metronome records which was produced by Carey and Nigel Jopson. This featured the single "I Feel Good", reached #35 on the German charts and was featured in the German television movie Tatort: Katjas Schweigen (Katjas Silence). A second single from For You, "No Man's Land", featured Eric Burdon and Anne Haigis.

1990–1999
In November 1990 Carey released the album Storyville, the last on Metronome records. It was produced by Carey and Sebastian Thorer and like the previous album was recorded at Carey's recording studio in Tutzing, Bavaria, Germany. "The Deal" and "Trampoline" were released as singles. Carey also produced, played several instruments and wrote four of the songs on Chris Norman's 1991 album Interchange.

With a new record deal with the international East West, Carey released The Long Road in April 1992, produced by Erwin Musper. "Wonderland" and "Jail" were the singles from the album.

In the autumn 1994 he released Cold War Kids on East West, his last solo album with a major record label. Carey produced the album with guitarist Ken Rose and Ben Wisch, and five of the songs were co-written with Rose. The title track was the only single from the album. Carey said in 2019: "East West Records was now Universal like everyone else. They sent me to New York City to Quad Studios in Times Square. They paid $450,000 for an album I did called Cold War Kids. I had an ironclad promise that they’d release it world-wide so I could capitalise on the success I’d had in the ’80’s. It ended up being released in Scandinavia, Switzerland and Germany and no English-speaking countries. When they wouldn’t release it or promote it, I walked into the record company with a cheque and told them that I was gone and at that point I left the music business in 1994." During 1994, Carey also spent a month in rehab.

In 1995 he sang and co-wrote the single "Birds in Cages", which was featured in the soundtrack to the German TV movie The Ice Princess, starring Katarina Witt. Carey also produced, wrote music and played on three albums with Swiss singer Natacha.

In 1999, BMG Germany released the album Gefangen im Jemen, a soundtrack to a TV movie, starring Peter Maffay and directed by Peter Patzak. The Boystown Tapes was also released the same year on Happy Street Records. It featured songs recorded between 1990 and 1998, some of which were outtakes originally intended for other albums.

1999-2009: Mallorca years, Return of Planet P Project and cancer
Carey had at this time moved from Germany, and lived six years in Mallorca. He recorded his next album there, Island and Deserts, released in 2004.

Since the early 1990s, Carey had also been writing and recording new material with political and historical themes. Some of the tracks, and an unauthorized version of a new album called Go Out Dancing, leaked to the Internet.

Planet P Project returned on 24 December 2003 with Go Out Dancing Part 1 - 1931, first available as a free download. This was the first of a trilogy of albums titled Go Out Dancing (G.O.D.). The other two albums were G.O.D. Part 2 - Levittown (released March 2008), and G.O.D. Part 3 - Out In The Rain (released December 2009). Carey also released the compilation The New Machine, which featured some tracks recorded in the 1980s from an uncompleted Planet P album.

In 2006 Carey produced and played on Songs For the Siren by David Knopfler of Dire Straits. In a November 12, 2011 interview on LKCB 128.4 Internet Radio, he claimed, "I've written over a thousand songs, for myself, other artists, and film and TV productions."

In March 2009 Carey was diagnosed with a virulent form of bladder cancer. At one point he was told his odds of survival were ten percent. After twelve weeks in the hospital and five surgeries, he made a full recovery. He said: "I tried to get my 'bucket list' finished as quickly as I could; it wasn't a certainty that I'd be around much longer." Carey's former Rainbow bandmate Ronnie James Dio died of stomach cancer shortly after Carey's recovery. Carey said in a May 28, 2010 interview, "I'm very sad about his passing, especially because we got essentially the same disease, and I beat it, and he didn't."

2009–2011: Over the Rainbow, EBC ROXX and cover albums
In 2009, Carey and three other ex-members of Rainbow, Joe Lynn Turner, Bobby Rondinelli and Greg Smith, teamed up with Jürgen Blackmore, Ritchie Blackmore's son, to form Over the Rainbow to perform Rainbow songs in Russia and Eastern Europe. Due to illness, however, Carey left the band in the spring of 2009, just before their live debut at the Sweden Rock Festival. He was replaced by Paul Morris.

Carey released Christmas Hymns in December 2009, an homage to the hymns he sang as a boy at midnight mass.

In 2010 it was announced that Carey had formed a new musical racing project called EBC ROXX with Jürgen Blackmore and Ela. Their first single, "Silver Arrows", was released in March 2010 and was written to accompany the first race of Mercedes Formula 1 drivers Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg that season. An album, Winners, followed later that year.

In 2010 and 2011, Carey released two albums featuring cover versions, Stanislaus County Kid Volume 1 and 2.

2013: Second return of Planet P Project
After officially dismantling Planet P Project in 2009, Carey again revived the project with the release of Steeltown in 2013, under the name Tony Carey's Planet P Project. Contributors included guitarist Ronnie Le Tekro, Jimmy Durand on guitars and drums and Jostein 'Sarge' Svarstad on guitars. Russian guitarist Valery Lunichkin contributed a solo on "On The Side Of The Angels" and Karsten Kreppert played drums on "The Lady Fair".

Steeltown was based on Norway and its history, after Carey played and travelled there extensively, both as a solo artist and with a band consisting of mostly Norwegian musicians. Influenced by Norway's response to its occupation during World War II, the work is also a statement about religious conflicts worldwide.

In February 2014, a box set of the three Planet P Project Go Out Dancing CDs was released. The G.O.D.B.O.X. included an earlier bootleg of promotional recordings for the project.

2015: Rainbow Project live shows
In 2015 he started to play live shows as Tony Carey's Rainbow Project: The Dio Years, with Norwegian musicians Åge Sten Nilsen (vocals), Per Ole Iversen (drums), Jostein Svarstad (guitar) and Jan Holberg (bass). The setlist featured Rainbow songs. In 2018, Carey and two other ex-members of Rainbow, Don Airey and Doogie White, performed with their projects at Moscow's Crocus City Hall.

2019-present: Lucky Us and The Return of The Stanislaus County Kid
In April 2019, Carey released Lucky Us, a return to simpler themes. He said, "I wrote six political history lessons; I think I've said all I have to say about that for awhile...Lucky Us is also about winning the lottery of life."

Carey also recorded a 19-minute rock opera entitled Operation: Paperclip, The Return of The Stanislaus County Kid, written by Bob Madsen and Kenny Steel. It was released in July 2019 on Highlander Company Records. The mini-album was based on characters created by Carey on his first solo albums. They also recorded a cover, “For What It's Worth” by Buffalo Springfield.

In February 2021, Carey released the new single, "We Hear You Calling", with a version of "Deportee" written by Woody Guthrie. He also became a member of the band Mandoki Soulmates featuring Leslie Mandoki.

Carey lives in Wiesbaden, Germany, with his wife Marion, and Carey has three daughters.

Narrow class group

In algebraic number theory, the narrow class group of a number field K is a refinement of the class group of K that takes into account some information about embeddings of K into the field of real numbers.

Formal definition
Suppose that K is a finite extension of Q. Recall that the ordinary class group of K is defined as the quotient
 * $$C_K = I_K / P_K,\,\!$$

where IK is the group of fractional ideals of K, and PK is the subgroup of principal fractional ideals of K, that is, ideals of the form aOK where a is an element of K.

The narrow class group is defined to be the quotient
 * $$C_K^+ = I_K / P_K^+,$$

where now PK+ is the group of totally positive principal fractional ideals of K; that is, ideals of the form aOK where a is an element of K such that σ(a) is positive for every embedding
 * $$\sigma : K \to \mathbb{R}.$$

Uses
The narrow class group features prominently in the theory of representing integers by quadratic forms. An example is the following result (Fröhlich and Taylor, Chapter V, Theorem 1.25).

 * Theorem. Suppose that $$K = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d}\,),$$ where d is a square-free integer, and that the narrow class group of K is trivial. Suppose that
 * $$\{ \omega_1, \omega_2 \}\,\!$$
 * is a basis for the ring of integers of K. Define a quadratic form
 * $$q_K(x,y) = N_{K/\mathbb{Q}}(\omega_1 x + \omega_2 y)$$,
 * where NK/Q is the norm. Then a prime number p is of the form
 * $$p = q_K(x,y)\,\!$$
 * for some integers x and y if and only if either
 * $$p \mid d_K\,\!,$$
 * or
 * $$p = 2 \quad \mbox{ and } \quad d_K \equiv 1 \pmod 8,$$
 * or
 * $$p > 2 \quad \mbox{ and} \quad \left(\frac {d_K} p\right) = 1,$$
 * where dK is the discriminant of K, and
 * $$\left(\frac ab\right)$$
 * denotes the Legendre symbol.

Examples
For example, one can prove that the quadratic fields Q($\sqrt{−1}$), Q($\sqrt{2}$), Q($\sqrt{−3}$) all have trivial narrow class group. Then, by choosing appropriate bases for the integers of each of these fields, the above theorem implies the following:
 * A prime p is of the form p = x2 + y 2 for integers x and y if and only if
 * $$p = 2 \quad \mbox{or} \quad p \equiv 1 \pmod 4.$$
 * (This is known as Fermat's theorem on sums of two squares.)

 * A prime p is of the form p = x2 − 2y 2 for integers x and y if and only if
 * $$p = 2 \quad \mbox{or} \quad p \equiv 1, 7 \pmod 8.$$

 * A prime p is of the form p = x2 − xy + y 2 for integers x and y if and only if
 * $$p = 3 \quad \mbox{or} \quad p \equiv 1 \pmod 3.$$ (cf. Eisenstein prime)

An example that illustrates the difference between the narrow class group and the usual class group is the case of Q($\sqrt{6}$). This has trivial class group, but its narrow class group has order 2. Because the class group is trivial, the following statement is true:
 * A prime p or its inverse −p is of the form ± p = x2 − 6y 2 for integers x and y if and only if
 * $$p = 2 \quad \mbox{or} \quad p = 3 \quad \mbox{or} \quad \left(\frac{6}{p}\right)=1.$$

However, this statement is false if we focus only on p and not −p (and is in fact even false for p = 2), because the narrow class group is nontrivial. The statement that classifies the positive p is the following:
 * A prime p is of the form p = x2 − 6y 2 for integers x and y if and only if p = 3 or
 * $$\left(\frac{6}{p}\right)=1 \quad \mbox{and}\quad \left(\frac{-2}{p}\right)=1.$$

(Whereas the first statement allows primes $$p \equiv 1, 5, 19, 23 \pmod {24}$$, the second only allows primes $$p \equiv 1, 19 \pmod {24}$$.)

Chuck Burgi

Charles Arnold Burgi III (, born August 15, 1952, Montclair, New Jersey) is an American drummer. He has performed with many rock bands and musicians, ranging from local New Jersey/New York-area artists to international groups, throughout his prolific career. He is the current drummer for The Billy Joel Band.

Career
Raised in Montclair, New Jersey, Burgi graduated in 1970 from Montclair High School, where he played drums at school and local community events as a student.

After having performed on several album sessions, Burgi earned a spot with the jazz fusion band, Brand X. He then experienced early mainstream success with his band, Balance in the early 1980s. This group also featured Peppy Castro, Bob Kulick, Dennis Feldman and noted arranger and keyboardist Doug Katsaros. The group scored a top-25 hit on the U.S. singles chart with "Breaking Away" in 1981. Although the song was recorded before Burgi joined the group, he had joined in time to record Balance's follow-up album, In for the Count.

In addition to Brand X, Burgi has played and toured with Al Di Meola, Hall & Oates, Joe Lynn Turner, Rainbow, Blue Öyster Cult, Meat Loaf, Fandango and Enrique Iglesias and has recorded with numerous other artists, including Michael Bolton, Glen Burtnik, Bon Jovi and Diana Ross.

Burgi was a member of the on-stage band in the Twyla Tharp - Billy Joel hit musical Movin' Out during the entire 3½ year run on Broadway.

Recent recordings include Billy Joel's live CD 12 Gardens Live and the 2007 Joel-penned single, "Christmas in Fallujah", exclusive to iTunes. Since November 2005, Chuck has been Joel's drummer, touring extensively, including 12 record breaking shows at New York's Madison Square Garden in 2006, 2008's double night The Last Play at Shea and the October 2008 New York Springsteen/Joel benefit for Barack Obama at the Hammerstein Ballroom. He also appears, with former Rainbow bandmate and bassist, Greg Smith, Danger Danger vocalist Ted Poley, and Trixter guitarist Steve Brown, on the self-titled melodic hard rock-styled "Tokyo Motor Fist" album, released February 24, 2017.

He is the brother of actor Richard Burgi and briefly lived in London while playing with Brand X.

Roger Sherman Loomis was the son of Rev. Henry Loomis and Jane Herring Greene, the grandnephew of William Maxwell Evarts, and the great-great-grandson of American founding father Roger Sherman. Born on October 31, 1887, in Yokohama, Japan, he was educated at the Hotchkiss School in Lakeville, Connecticut.

He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Williams College in 1909, a Master of Arts degree from Harvard University in 1910, and, as a Rhodes Scholar, a Bachelor of Letters (BLitt) degree at New College, Oxford, in 1913. His BLitt dissertation, written under the supervision of Arthur Napier and C. F. Bell, was titled Illustrations of the Romances in Mediæval English Art. He held honorary degrees from Columbia, Williams, the University of Wales, and the University of Rennes in France.

He was an instructor at the University of Illinois at Urbana from 1913 to 1918. During the First World War he edited an Army publication Atenshun 21. He left Illinois for Columbia University, where he taught from 1919 until 1958: he was a member of Columbia's English faculty and held an emeritus position there from 1958 until his death in 1966. In 1919, also, Loomis married his first wife, Gertrude Schoepperle Loomis, (1882–1921), a medieval scholar who shared his interest in Arthurian literature (Folklore 38.4 1927 405–407). From his early years he studied the influence of Celtic mythology on Arthurian legend, especially the Holy Grail romance. In 1930 Loomis attended the first International Arthurian Congress in Truro, Cornwall, where he, Henry Jenner, Dominica Legge, Eugène Vinaver, and other scholars investigated Arthurian legends. He was a member of the International Arthurian Society (president of American Branch, 1948–1963), the Modern Language Association, the Mediaeval Academy of America (fellow; second vice-president, 1961–1964), the Modern Humanities Research Association, and the American Humanist Association. In 1955–1956 he was an Eastman Professor at the University of Oxford.

Loomis wrote ten scholarly books and numerous journal articles. His book A Mirror of Chaucer's World, published in 1965 by Princeton, is a pictorial presentation of drawings, sculpture, paintings and other materials related to Geoffrey Chaucer and his age. His most notable book Arthurian Tradition and Chrétien de Troyes, published by Columbia University in 1949, won the Haskins Medal of the Mediaeval Academy of America.

After the death of his first wife in 1921, Loomis married Laura Alandis Hibbard (1883–1960), with whom he collaborated in many of his research and writing efforts. He dedicated one of his final volumes to Gertrude Schoepperle Loomis and Laura Hibbard Loomis "in grateful and loving remembrance" (The Grail: From Celtic Myth to Christian Symbol published by the University of Wales 1963; and later by Princeton University, in 1991).

Loomis died on October 11, 1966, in Waterford, Connecticut.

Distichirhops

Distichirhops is a genus of flowering plant belonging to the family Phyllanthaceae. The genus comprises 3 species, found in the secondary forests of New Guinea and Borneo. The taxon name comes from Greek (distichos meaning "in two rows" and rhopo meaning "shrub"), referring to its distichous leaf arrangement and shrubby habit.

Talk:List of albums containing a hidden track

Idea of this list
The idea is to create a dynamic list of albums containing a hidden track. Detailed information on hidden tracks can be put in the List of hidden tracks. The syntax of the article could be made as in this article. Should there be a list on both album name and name of the artist? Brz7

Dixie Chicks
There album "Shouldn't A Told You That" (last album with Laura as lead singer) has a hidden track "Boo Hoo" it says so here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shouldn%27t_a_Told_You_That (a bloddy pangien (talk) 23:47, 28 July 2010 (UTC))

List of hidden tracks
The aim is to make a dynamic list of hidden tracks, sorted by name in alphabetic order, shortly describing the track (a longer description would allow the creation of an article on the hidden track and a short description plus link in this list). Maybe later a list of hidden tracks by the name of the band could be made? Cross-references to the article List of albums containing a hidden track are welcome. Brz7

Article Title
'List of albums containing a hidden track' I think should be titled 'List hidden tracks (by artist)'

Articles for Deletion debate
This article survived an Articles for Deletion debate. The discussion can be found here. -Splash talk 21:56, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Consistant style/second list
I noticed that the second list (sorted by album) is a lot shorter than the first. I'm going to try and go through the first list and add anything missing from the second. Also, I'm going to try and keep a consistant style going through the listings - originally I was going to use WP:ALBUMS's style (Artist Album "Track") but as the list seems to have it's own already (Artist Album Track) I'm happy sticking with that. Anyone got any objections? Satan's Rubber Duck 17:02, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Hmm, this is going to take a lot of work. (Is that second list actually necessary? It's simple TOC doesn't even work properly.) So far, I've gone through the 0-9s and the As, having to add the majority of them to the second list. If anyone wants to jump in and help please do! Satan's Rubber Duck 17:55, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Right, culling time. Bye bye to the second list, it's unnecessary (especially as people seem to not notice it after updating the first). I'm also going to try and put a consistant style through it, trimming unnecessary info and possibly moving it to better locations. Satan's Rubber Duck 17:01, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Removed Stabilo
I was the user that added Stabilo's Happiness and Disaster album to the list. It was released on April 4, 2006. It was supposed to include a hidden track (new version of "Everybody"), but I guess the label changed its mind, and added it to the tracklist. It's no longer hidden, so I removed it from this list. Millsy62 06:19, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Benjamin Gate, Relient K, the pixies
Both albums (Untitled, Contact)have a hidden song, i believe... I may check this soon, but you are welcome to do so.

Also there is a hidden song after Relient K's "Jefferson Aeroplane" (on the same track). I believe. --206.54.145.254 15:46, 19 June 2006 (UTC)(not logged in)

there is a hidden track in the middle of "surfer rosa" by the pixies, too. track 12, between "vamos" and "i'm amazed." it's not listed on the sleeve at all but it's a seperate track, basically frank black saying "you fuckin' die" over and over for like 45 seconds. i'd add it in myself but i'm pretty much wiki-illiterate so someone else is going to have to do it. 68.83.24.250 23:20, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Blind Melon, Soup
According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soup_%28album%29 there is an hidden track on this album. I do not own the cd so i can't check. Could someone do it and add the album to the list?

Separate pregap and last-track ones?
I think we should separate this huge list. The former ones in question are commonly called "null tracks", while the last-track ones are simply called "hidden". It will be much more readable that way and not such a nightmare to scroll down. -andy 80.129.125.167 23:20, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I like the idea. There's already Pregap so why not separate the two?  They need to be merged anyway - there are more songs here than there. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hornpipe2 (talk • contribs) 16:19, 6 April 2007 (UTC).

Recording Pregap Tracks
Is there anyway of sharing a successfull way of recording the pregap track through a computer? Ps2aphex 10:26, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

It is possible to copy pregap tracks using the program Exact Audio Copy - the problem is that not all CD Drives are able to read the pregap. After a lot of testing I eventually found one that would do it. --Ptha (talk) 14:37, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Evanescence Demise
Demise is not a hidden track. It's part of the final version of Eternal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.48.1.2 (talk) 20:22, August 26, 2007 (UTC)

 * Okay, I'll remove it. And I will also remove Where Will You Go (Reprise). 12.214.76.88 01:55, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Kaki King
If anyone knows what track it is, Kaki King's Everybody_Loves_You has a hidden track at the end, and I don't think it's exactly some official song, but just some doodling in the studio. --Pyry 22:07, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

The Roots?
really, no mention of the roots? they're very notable in the hip hop world for their use of hidden tracks, on at least 3 of their albums. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.9.11.11 (talk) 22:05, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Multiple Formats
The list has multiple formats within itself. i already fixed the Insane Clown Posse albums, but i dont have time to do any others right now. the juggreserection IstKrieg! 15:51, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Category
This whole list is HUGE. Should we put this as a category instead? If there are new ones with a hidden track, it would be much simpler to categorize. Ilikepie2221 (talk) 01:20, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I would like to throw my support behind this idea as well. A category would be much easier to track and to keep orderly.  Tahamaki (talk) 07:34, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Formatting Issue
As this is a list of albums' hidden tracks, it should really be alphabetized by the album name rather than the artist name. It should only be done by the artist name if it was titled Lists of artists' hidden tracks. There are also inconsistancies with some artists listed under their surname and some under their forename. -- neon white user page talk 17:56, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Robert Plant
I just added Robert Plant's hidden track. Can someone verify the time between the tracks? 76.233.108.106 (talk) 18:02, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Mika: "Life in Cartoon Motion"
The track "Happy Ending" on Mika's album "Life in Cartoon Motion" has a hidden track after it. According to it's article it is about being alone and drunk. Feel free to add it, I will not do so because I probably won't do it properly.Peeto87 (talk) 08:11, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Exodus
I added the hidden track at the end of Bedlam 1-2-3. If there is a problem with the change, please notify me. Thanks. BringMeTheSuicideSilence (talk) 05:25, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Why not make this a category?
I attempted to make this a full-blown category yesterday, but it was promptly deleted. I think this would be an excellent category, since the article is incomplete as it is, and it would be much too long if every album with a hidden track was in an article instead of a category. Peace. —MuzikJunky (talk) 05:47, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Boards of Canada hidden track
If I can remember, The Campfire Headphase did not have a hidden track. It did, however, have a Japanese bonus track.

And if I can remember, Twoism has a hidden track called "1986 Summer Fire". 70.16.183.172 (talk) 01:16, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

DODGY - Free Peace Sweet
Unless the last 2.08 is part of the 14th & final listed track 'Homegrown' it seems to me there is another seperate track that completes the album. It starts at 3.43 and ends at 5.51..i'm not sure, maybe doesn't count as a proper track as such... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.157.130.156 (talk) 13:49, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

It should be included though i would of thought so --213.83.125.225 (talk) 12:51, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Midtown- Save the World, Lose the Girl
I just bought this CD a couple of weeks ago and after the last song ended, I let it play. I found that after about eight minutes or so, another song started playing. I have never heard anyone say anything about this hidden track, nor do I know it's name. However, it is still there. Should this be added to the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.212.87.203 (talk) 22:56, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Deep Freeze
I recently repurchased Urban Hymns as an MP3 download, because my ripped copy was CBR and had no embedded album art. I was surprised to find that "Come On" and "Deep Freeze" have been separated, and the long block of silence between them removed.

Inflationary use of "hidden track"
I see pieces like the coda of "Jugband Blues" by Pink Floyd or the "Ticket to Ride" snippets on "Dark Side Of The Moon" referred to as hidden tracks. That's complete nonsense, in my opinion. Why should music which is doubtlessly part of the whole song, but separated by one or two seconds - or played in the background, be a hidden track? Then the final chord of Deep Purple's "Child in Time" and The Beatles' "A Day In The Life" would also be hidden tracks. --217.232.47.221 (talk)

N.E.R.D - Fly Or Die
I was pleased to find the hidden tracks in Plaid's Rest Proof Clockwork and Royskopp's Melody AM listed, meaning I was surprised to not find the hidden tracks in N.E.R.D's Fly Or Die listed. Track 7 "Wonderful Place" contains hidden track "Waiting for You" and Track 8 "Drill Sergeant" contains hidden track "Preservation". These are not listed on the official track listing, but there is not a long period of silence before them. Track 12 "Chariot Of Fire" contains hidden track "Find My Way"; this does have a long period of silence before it, and of course is not listed on the official track listing.

Karl Keating

Karl Keating (born 1950) is a Catholic apologist and author who founded and presided over Catholic Answers, a lay apostolate of Catholic apologetics and evangelization.

Keating's book Catholicism and Fundamentalism was based on a 1988 series that ran for 30 weeks in The Wanderer.

Catholic Answers
In August 1986, the first Catholic Answers Newsletter was published. In January 1990, Catholic Answers published the monthly magazine This Rock. For nine years, Keating served as the editor.

In 1988, Keating changed careers and went into apologetics full-time. He has been a columnist for The Wanderer, the National Catholic Register and the Canadian Catholic Review. He has also acted as expert on EWTN's Questions and Answers forum.

A 2004 complaint to the Internal Revenue Service by the pro-choice organization Catholics for a Free Choice led to an IRS investigation of Catholic Answers that Keating described as costly and onerous. As a result, he formed a new organization with a separate 501(c)(4) tax status, called Catholic Answers Action, that continued publishing his Voter's Guide for Serious Catholics. This instructs readers not to vote for candidates who would vote for legalization of any of five alleged "non-negotiable" issues (abortion, euthanasia, embryonic stem cell research, human cloning, and gay marriage). No official endorsement of this guide has been offered by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops or any official Church body.

Six Pack (comics)

The Six Pack is a team of fictional characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The original team debuted in X-Force #8 (March 1992), created by Fabian Nicieza and Rob Liefeld.

Team biography
When Stryfe travels to the present, Cable follows him with the aim of stopping Stryfe's nefarious plans as well as preventing Apocalypse's rise to power. Cable forms a group initially called the Wild Pack, but conflict with Silver Sable (who already had a group called the Wild Pack) forces him to change the name to the Six Pack. Cable travels between the present and his future with his ship Graymalkin, which contained a sentient computer program called Professor (the future version of the program built into X-Factor's Ship).

The Six Pack performs many brutal missions, often with a high body count. Later, they are hired by Mr. Tolliver, which puts them in direct conflict with Stryfe. In their last mission, Cable and the Pack confront Stryfe, who gains the upper hand. Hammer decides to surrender vital information to Stryfe, forcing Cable to shoot him in the back. Cable escapes via time-travel, unable to take his friends along. They escape themselves but Hammer ends up paralyzed and Garrison Kane loses both of his arms.

Kane is granted robotic arms by the Weapon X program. G.W. Bridge, an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., now acts as liaison to Weapon X. Kane undertakes a mission to destroy Cable and the two battle until circumstances bring them together to battle Stryfe once again. Kane's arms are destroyed, and Cable uses his time-travel capabilities to take him to the far future. His arms are replaced with liquid metal versions.

Domino, Hammer, Kane, and Grizzly operate for some time on their own. In one incident, they battle and then team up with the vigilante Nomad.

Later, Grizzly goes mad and begins killing people. Domino, after a long battle, is forced to kill him.

Recent developments
Recently, the group has been reformed by S.H.I.E.L.D. under the leadership of G.W. Bridge for the purpose of attacking Cable. New members include Constrictor, a mercenary who once shared an apartment with Deadpool, Anaconda, who was formerly employed by the Serpent Society, and Solo, a vigilante bio-teleporter with a penchant for attacking terrorists. Rounding out the group is longtime Six Pack member, Hammer.

Following their failed attempt to defeat Cable, G.W. and Hammer are placed in suspended animation, while Domino is "converted" to Cable's side. Solo, Constrictor, and Anaconda join Cable in exchange for money. They are later sent to find Cable but are trapped in his mind, which is quickly fading away. However, they are all eventually saved by Deadpool and the Fixer and returned to their bodies.

Constrictor eventually abandoned the group, and was, unbeknownst to the reader, replaced by Deadpool. The Six Pack was hired by the American Government to commit acts of terrorism against the fictional country of Rumekistan, being led at this point by Cable. The objective was to taint Cable's reputation so as to crumble his secure reign over the country. They did not succeed, however, as it was all seemingly a part of Cable's "Plan." Deadpool also seems to have left the group after their defeat at Cable's hands. The captured Six Pack members are returned to their respective countries by Rumekistan forces.

Ultimate Marvel

 * The Six Pack appear in the Ultimate Marvel, members include Cable, Domino, Hammer, Garrison Kane and Grizzly and Bishop Instead of being assembled in the present, the Six Pack comes from Cable's future, as Grizzly is still a teenager in the present.

Hammer (Eisenhower Canty)
Hammer was an ally to the mutant Cable and a member of the Six Pack. He appeared in Cable & Deadpool as part of a new 'Six-Pack'. They are hired by the U.S. government as part of a public relations mission against Cable, who by that point was ruling two separate countries. Hammer assists in a raid against the fictional Rumekistan; the intent is to disrupt its recently modified electrical grid and discredit Cable.

Fisher Athletic F.C. were a semi-professional football club from South East London, which last played in the Conference South, which is one of the two leagues that form the sixth tier of the English football league system. The Bermondsey-based club ground-shared at Champion Hill Stadium, the home of Dulwich Hamlet. They were wound up by the High Court, after failing to repay their debts, on 13 May 2009. However, it was announced on 29 May that a new club, Fisher F.C., had been formed. The new club was elected to the Kent League for the 2009–10 season.

History
The club was founded in 1908 by Michael Culiton, headmaster at Dockland School, to provide sporting facilities for underprivileged youths of Bermondsey. The club was named after the Catholic martyr Saint John Fisher. They are thus one of the few sports clubs in the world to take their name from a person. The club's closest neighbour was fellow "dockers" Millwall, but as the two teams rarely met in a competitive match there was no strong rivalry. Dulwich Hamlet were often considered the team's closest rivals, despite the former groundshare.

The team competed in various district leagues before moving in 1961 to the Parthenon League where they stayed until the end of the 1965–66 season. At this point the club folded and reformed, this time based in Mitcham, joining the Western Section of the Kent Amateur League for the 1967–68 season.

Fisher were elected to the Spartan League in 1975 and won back-to-back championships in 1980–81 and 1981–82. The latter season coincided with a move to their present home, the purpose-built stadium at Surrey Docks.

Fisher were elected to the Southern League's Southern Division for the 1982–83 season and won the championship at the first attempt, earning promotion to the Southern League Premier Division. 1984–85 saw Fisher reach the first round of the FA Cup, losing 1–0 to Bristol City.

In 1986–87, they won the Southern League title and were promoted to the Football Conference. The following year brought another run to the first round of the FA Cup where the 'Fish' again lost 1–0, their nemesis this time being Bristol Rovers.

Fisher's success came to an end in 1990–91 when they finished bottom of the Conference and dropped back to the Southern League Premier Division. The following season brought a second successive relegation, to the Southern League Southern Division, where they remained until the turn of the millennium, generally finishing in mid-table.

Final seasons
The 1999–2000 season saw the club win the Southern League Eastern Division. However Fisher's success was short-lived, as after just one season in the Southern League Premier Division they were relegated back into the Eastern Division, where in the following season they finished 6th.

The following two season saw mid-table finishes, with Wayne Burnett taking over the managerial hotseat in February 2004. Off the field planning permission was granted for a major redevelopment of the Surrey Docks Stadium and new chairman Sami Muduroglu signalled his intentions with a raft of top signings to push Fisher back towards the heady heights of the Conference and this paid instant dividends in 2004-5 with the Southern League Division One East title and the London Senior Cup. The 'Fish' were promoted to the Isthmian League Premier Division for the 2005–06 season.

Wayne Burnett resigned as manager for personal reasons on 21 November 2005. Under Justin Edinburgh Fisher finished third in the Isthmian League Premier Division that season, in addition to winning the Isthmian League Cup and London Senior Cup, and beat Hampton & Richmond Borough 3–0 in the play-off final to win promotion to Conference South.

The 2006–07 season saw the club finish in 10th place in the Conference South under Edinburgh. Wayne Burnett returned to the club in the summer of 2007, and assembled a supremely talented squad. The Fish played superb attacking football in 2007–08, but ended up finishing 4th, and losing to Hampton & Richmond Borough in the play-offs, the side they had beaten to win promotion two years before.

The summer of 2008 saw a player exodus, with six of the previous season's squad moving to Football League clubs. The club's financial difficulties came to a head in the 2008–09 season, as massive debts were found to be piling up. The club stopped paying players in November 2008, then a winding-up order for unpaid income tax issued by the High Court was, on 13 March 2009, adjourned for 49 days until 22 April, and then adjourned for a further 21 days to 13 May 2009.

On 18 February 2009, the club claimed to have made history when turnstile operator Donna Powell became one of the first females to manage a male football club in Britain, having raised £250 for the ailing club, although she was unable to prevent Fisher losing 2–1 to Eastleigh. However, she was not actually a manager in the true sense of the term, just a publicity stunt, as Dave Mehmet was never actually relieved of the position. Droylsden had become the first British men's football club to play matches under a female manager following a disagreement between manager Dave Pace and the Manchester F.A. in 2000. This result came during a run of sixteen consecutive league defeats between 19 November and 9 March, which saw the club eventually relegated on 28 March.

Fisher reformed
Following a meeting in Bermondsey on the evening of 28 May, a supporters trust was formed to take control of all forthcoming club matters, with 42 founding members. Chairman, Martin Eede and club president, Barry Albin-Dyer continue their roles, with several new faces taking more established roles in the running of the club. This meeting announced AFC Fisher as the working title, before finally deciding on Fisher F.C. The club continued to play their home games at the Champion Hill Stadium, and began be playing in the Kent League.

Stadium
The club's traditional home was the 5,300-capacity Surrey Docks Stadium in Rotherhithe, in the London Borough of Southwark, but after 2004 home games were played at the ground of Dulwich Hamlet while the Surrey Docks Stadium awaited redevelopment.

The Surrey Docks Stadium was located in the heart of South London's Docklands area, just down the road from the Surrey Quays shopping mall and a short distance from The Den in nearby Bermondsey. The club had plans to redevelop the ground to bring it up to Football League standards by the start of the 2009–10 season. In November 2007 the club announced that it would prefer to move to a new 10,000-seat stadium on the site of the athletics track in Southwark Park, but that the rebuilding of Surrey Docks Stadium remained a possibility.

The pitch in Surrey Docks was protected as Metropolitan Open Land and later became Mayflower Park. The adjacent buildings were damaged in a fire, and were demolished with new housing then being built on a short new road Fisher Close.

Fisher F.C.'s new ground at the St Paul's Sports Ground is about 200 metres away and across Salter Road from the site of Surrey Docks Stadium.

His wiki page really should include his contribution to the Neil Young "rustie" community. It all began in the early Internet days when death.com and fish.com hosted the first Neil mailing list in the early 1990's I believe.

Eddie Gilbert (cricketer)

Harold Edward Gilbert (1 August 1905 – 9 January 1978), known as Eddie Gilbert, was an Australian Aboriginal cricketer who represented Queensland in the Sheffield Shield. He was described as an exceptionally fast bowler. He competed for Queensland in the Sheffield Shield between 1930 and 1936. Described by Don Bradman as the fastest bowler he ever faced, Bradman said he was “faster than anything seen from (England fast bowler) Harold Larwood or anyone else.”

Early and personal life
Gilbert was taken from his home near Woodford at the age of three as part of the Stolen Generations and grew up on farms while living in the Barambah Aboriginal Reserve, now known as Cherbourg, north of Brisbane. He took up cricket at a young age, initially playing as a slow bowler but quickly developing pace cultivated through a flexible wrist that he said was from years of hard work and practice.

First class career
After playing with the State Colts in 1930, Gilbert was selected in the Queensland Sheffield Shield team for 1930/31. Gilbert was probably only the fifth Aboriginal Australian to play first-class cricket in Australia, after Twopenny in 1870, Johnny Mullagh in 1879, Jack Marsh in 1900, and Albert Henry in 1902. (Note that the 1868 Aboriginal cricket tour of England was not considered first-class.)

In his first season with Queensland Gilbert played five of their six Sheffield Shield games, racking up fifteen wickets in the process. Gilbert had bowled upward of 141 overs and had a bowling average of 33.46. His best performance was 4–44. Overall, in his first season with the team, Gilbert had finished with the 13th best bowling average amongst bowlers whom had bowled more than 15 overs.

Following on from his first season with Queensland, Gilbert played five of Queensland's six matches in 1931–32. With the team having had better results than the previous season, Queensland saw Gilbert bowl less and take more wickets (21). Both of those factors also greatly improved Gilbert's bowling average. At seasons-end Gilbert had taken the fifth most wickets in the competition and had earned his first five-wicket haul against Victoria (5–67).

In Gilbert's third season in the Sheffield Shield (1932–33), he played only two games for Queensland, whom finished last losing all six games. The first was against Victoria in late October and the first of the season. In Victoria's first innings, Gilbert, whom only bowled eight overs, finished 0–58. Teammate and Australia bowler Ron Oxenham finished 4–95. Victoria's first and only innings was impressive finishing on 552. Victoria won by an innings and 329 runs, the biggest of the season. In the second game of the season, against South Australia (27–31 January), Gilbert entered for Queensland's first innings as a tail-ender, finishing the innings 1*, helping Queensland finish their first innings on 129 runs. Gilbert's bowling proved to be vital for Queensland in South Australia's first innings. Indeed, it was his best performance of the season. With Herbert Gamble and Francis Brew dismissing the opening two batsman (caught), Gilbert bowled out top-order batsman Roy Lonergan for 31. Brew then took another and Cassie Andrews took his first via lbw. Gilbert then took three wickets in a row to finish the innings 4–58. South Australia's second innings remained steady (76/1), however and Gilbert's second innings was unsuccessful having not taken any wickets. Queensland lost by 9 wickets. In his career, Gilbert played in 19 Sheffield Shield matches, taking 73 wickets at an average of 29.75. A further 14 wickets were taken off touring MCC, West Indies and South African sides. In one match against the touring West Indian team, he took 5/65. Despite his success, it is unlikely that he was ever seriously considered for the Australian Test team due to doubts about his action, his Aboriginality and the fact that he represented Queensland, then a relatively weak team.

The era of 'protection'
As an Aboriginal man living in Queensland in 1931, Eddie Gilbert was bound by the restrictions of the Protection of Aboriginals Act 1897. This meant that he needed written permission to travel from his Aboriginal settlement each time he played in a first-class match. Reference to his correspondence survives in the Queensland State Archives. (QSA A/4736, Home Secretary, Register of Letters Received, 1931, Extracts - Aborigines General).

Retirement
Gilbert retired from the game in 1936 due to poor form, whereupon officials in the Queensland Cricket Board and the Aboriginal Protectorate arranged for his return to an Aboriginal settlement. Gilbert died at the Wolston Park Hospital near Brisbane on 9 January 1978, aged 72 after many years of ill health due to alcoholism and mental illness. It was thought by some people that his health issues stemmed from the racism he suffered: he was not being allowed to room with the team and made to sleep in a tent on the practice pitch. In addition, he was forced out of the game and labelled a cheat because of his suspect bowling action.

In 2015 Gilbert's son Barney unveiled the sign at the dedication of the Eddie Gilbert Memorial Field near the hospital, with folk singer Dermot Dorgan offering his tribute song "Eddie Gilbert" about the life and struggles of the iconic fast bowler.

Dismissing Bradman
On 6 November 1931 in a match against NSW at the recently opened Brisbane Cricket Ground (the "Gabba") in Brisbane, he dismissed opener Wendell Bill for a duck with his first ball. The incoming batsman was Don Bradman.

Bradman was hurried by Gilbert, but he somehow managed to keep the first ball out. The second was a harmless one, just outside leg. The third ball was too quick: it screamed past Bradman's bat and thudded into the gloves of Leonard Waterman. The fourth was as fast, and hit Bradman on his underbelly. The impact knocked his bat off, leaving him in agony. It took him time, but he got back to his feet. Then came the bouncer, a really quick one. Bradman tried to counterattack, but it was too quick. The top-edge went up in the air, and Waterman took it easily.

Bradman recalled years later that the five deliveries he faced from Gilbert in that match were the fastest he had experienced in his career. Bradman said The keeper took the ball over his head, and I reckon it was halfway to the boundary and that the balls from Gilbert were unhesitatingly faster than anything seen from Larwood or anyone else. Although as he added in his autobiography, Bradman thought Gilbert's action was 'decidedly suspect'.

Gilbert played against Bradman on two more occasions, as well as Douglas Jardine during the infamous 1932/33 Bodyline tour.

Bowling style
Though he had a controversial action he was called only once for throwing and that for jerking his wrist. Importantly the straightness of his arm was never contradicted by umpires. The occasion of him being called was the match between Victoria and Queensland at the MCG in 1931. The umpire Andrew Barlow, no-balled him 13 times for his action.

Alan McGilvray said he had "absolutely no doubt" that Gilbert was "the fastest bowler I ever saw" and that "no matter how I analyse cricket down the years, I cannot imagine anybody bowling a ball faster than Eddie Gilbert". Of the legality of Gilbert's action, McGilvray commented, "It was hard to tell whether he actually chucked or not, because he let the ball go with such a fling of his right arm you got precious little sight of it."

Recognition
In 2007 Queensland Cricket erected a bronze statue of Gilbert in Greg Chappell Street, outside Allan Border Field, Albion. Designed by Pauline Clayton, the statue shows Gilbert in full flight. The monument was dedicated in November 2008. In 2007, Indigenous Sport Queensland established the Eddie Gilbert Medal to recognise Queensland's best indigenous sports person.

Saxmundham

Saxmundham is a market town and civil parish in the East Suffolk district, in the county of Suffolk, England. It is set in the valley of the River Fromus about 18 mi north-east of Ipswich and 5 mi west of the coast at Sizewell. The town is bypassed by the main A12 road between London and Lowestoft. The town is served by Saxmundham railway station on the East Suffolk Line between Ipswich and Lowestoft. In 2011 the parish had a population of 3644.

Governance
From 1974 to 2019 it was in Suffolk Coastal district. The district electoral ward also has the name Saxmundham. Its population at the 2011 census was 4,913.

Saxmundham Town Council consisted of eleven councillors.

The Town Clerk is Mrs Sharon Smith.

Heritage
The place-name Saxmundham is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Sasmunde(s)ham. It appears as Saxmundham in the Feet of Fines of 1213. The name denotes "Seaxmund's village or estate".

The Parish Church of St John the Baptist dates back to the 11th century. Some features remain from the medieval period, but its present appearance owes most to the 19th century. Much of the church's official architectural guide, with accounts of its medieval remnants, can be read on the Town Council site.

Facilities
Saxmundham has facilities for overnight, bed-and-breakfast and camping accommodation.

It has had a market charter since at least 1272, and holds a market every Wednesday in the Market Place just off the High Street, with indoor and outdoor stalls.

Notable residents
With a Wikipedia page, in birth order:
 * John Shipp (1784–1834), army officer, was born in Saxmundham. His military memoirs were widely read in the 19th century.
 * Henry Bright (1810–1873), painter
 * Thomas Thurlow (1813–1899), sculptor
 * Hamlet Watling (1818–1908), archaeologist, illustrator and schoolmaster
 * Bernard Collins (1880–1951), county cricketer, also wrote a book on life after death: Death is Not the End (London: Psychic Press, 1939).
 * Buck Read (1880–1970), American basketball coach, was born in Saxmundham.
 * Herbert Heyner (1882–1954), baritone, died here.
 * Eleanor Berwick (born 1943), wine-grower
 * Maggi Hambling (born 1945), artist, has lived in a cottage near Saxmundham since the mid-1980s.
 * Sam Miller (born 1962) works as a television director.
 * Ray Allen (born 1975), NBA All-Star, spent some childhood years in Saxmundham.

In fiction
Brother Eadulf has become Saxmundham's most famous international fictional character, through the best-selling Sister Fidelma mysteries by Peter Tremayne (a pseudonym of the Celtic scholar and author Peter Berresford Ellis). Brother Eadulf, as companion and assistant to Sister Fidelma, often plays a crucial part in resolving the mystery. He is introduced as originally the hereditary gerefa (magistrate) of "Seaxmund's Ham in the land of the South Folk." He attends the famous Synod of Whitby in AD 664 and joins Sister Fidelma in solving a murder of one of the delegates (Absolution by Murder, 1994). He has since appeared in most of the novels and some of the short stories, although the Saxmundham area has been used as a setting in only one of the novels: The Haunted Abbot (2002). Tremayne chose Saxmundham as Eadulf's place of origin because of local connections, the nearness of the town to an ancient royal burial site of the East Angles, and the historic East Anglian connections with Irish Christian missionaries. He appears in all but two of the Sister Fidelma series of mystery novels, set in 7th century Ireland.

The series has now reached 31 published titles, appearing in a score of languages. An International Sister Fidelma Society, devoted to the author and his work, has existed for 20 years and publishes a 20-page colour magazine three times a year.

Globally Executable MHP

Globally Executable MHP (GEM) is a DVB specification of a Java based middleware for TV broadcast receivers, IPTV terminals and Blu-ray players. GEM is an ETSI standard (ETSI TS 102 819, ETSI TS 102 728 ) and an ITU "Recommendation” (ITU-T J.202). GEM defines a set of common functionalities which are independent from the signaling and protocols of a specific transmission network and enables to write interoperable Java applications for TV. GEM is not intended to be directly implemented, but rather forms the basis for broader specifications targeting a particular network infrastructure (e.g. US cable) or class of device (e.g. Blu-ray Disc players). GEM defines profiles for different device classes (targets) –  these define the set of available features of GEM for this device class. Currently GEM defines targets (API profiles) for broadcast, packaged media (Blu-Ray) and IPTV. Combinations of these targets can be combined into a hybrid GEM platform, which enables to build devices with multiple network interfaces, such as a combined broadcast/IPTV set-top box.

History
A few years ago, the DVB project started the development of a Java-based application platform (a set of APIs), called MHP, intended to support software applications running on digital television platforms. Such applications could include Electronic Program Guides (EPG's), interactivity, Video on Demand (VOD), email through your television, etc. The MHP specification defines the download of MHP applications ("xlets") over transmission networks based on other DVB specifications (i.e. over-the-air or terrestrial networks using DVB-T, satellite networks using DVB-S, cable networks using DVB-C). As other specification bodies such as CableLabs and the Blu-ray Disc Association chose to base their own DTV software standards on MHP it became necessary to define a subset of MHP which removes the transmission-related elements of the MHP specification but retains the application API's, thus allowing broad content compatibility across a range of delivery platforms. In January 2010, the DVB project made GEM the primary middleware specification and released a self-contained version of GEM in ETSI TS 102 728, citing MHP only as one of many already-existing implementations.

Platforms
At the time of writing, the following platforms are defined, which base on/extend GEM:
 * the Multimedia Home Platform (MHP), the open, multi-platform middleware specification developed by the DVB project,
 * the OpenCable Application Platform (OCAP / tru2way), which is an Interactive television (iTV) middleware software layer for US cable,
 * the Advanced Common Application Platform (ACAP) from North America's ATSC,
 * GEM-IPTV, a version of GEM developed by DVB intended for telco-based networks,
 * the ARIB B.23 specification from Japan's ARIB,
 * the PAE specification in the Open IPTV Forum,
 * BD-J the Java-platform for the Blu-ray Disc.

As all these platforms are based on the common GEM-core, making it possible to write Java applications that will run interoperably on all these systems.
