“The services of Matthew Vaughan were utilized when things of a programmable nature were needed, my gratitude to him.”.

“The phrases “Whoever You Are Come Forth” and “These Are The Days That Must Happen To You” that start off “Succumb To Me,” taken from Walt Whitman’s “Song Of Myself. // The phrase in “Are You Happy?” “…When in doubt just live the questions and some day you will grow into the answer.” inspired by Rainer Maria Rilke’s “Letters To A Young Poet.””.

“Special and heartfelt thanks to Bruce Springsteen and Prince for your well-timed words and/or acts of support and encouragement, it was greatly appreciated, particularly as I look up to you both a great deal, name dropping be damned.”.

“Thank yous // Michael Lippman and all at Lippman Entertainment // Nancy Lippman // Alexandra Villa // Paul Russell, Andy Stephens, Ollie Weait and all at Sony, UK. // Don Ienner, Tommy Mottola, Michele Anthony and all at Sony/Columbia, US. // Peter Rycart and Sally Perryman/EMI/Virgin, UK // Gail Colson // Tony Dimitriades, Alex Scott, Eric Barrett and all at East End Management. // Susan Bonitto // Lester Knispel and all at Boulevard Management // Steve Perry // David Wild // Carole Childs // Barry Tyerman // Tony Russell // Mervyn Brady and The Academy // Mary Vango and Seraphina D’Arby!!! // Claire Stansfield!!! // Mark “Spike” Stent // Craig Porteils // Matt Vaughan // Dr. Jeff Roshford // The Reverend Bishop James and Frances Darby and the Darby posse (inhabiting various territorial aspects of the State of Florida) // Grandma Evans // Mrs. Mildred Clark, Mr. David Martin, Mr. Stan Whitted for the early musical encouragement // Rob and Tanya Prinz // Mitch and Rick and all at CAA // Thanks to Marilyn Laverty and all my friends at Shore Fire // Steve Lewis // Lenny, Dennis, Karen and all at Hits // Greg Edward // Ann Marie McKay // Julie Carter // Kitty Brazelton // Greg Phillinganes // Sean Oliver // And finally a special thanks to Des’ree for making ‘Delicate’ more so // If I’ve omitted anyone deserving of a thank you, please forgive me for it was not intentional.”.

“This collection of songs is lovingly dedicated to my uncle Melvin Howard 1945-1990, and Miles Davis”.

“Current Heroes Corner // 4 gentlemen I bet you didn’t know were black (and it’s not like you’d have been taught in school): Socrates, Homer, Pushkin and Aesop. // G.I. Gurdjieff // Walt Whitman // Ralph Waldo Emerson // James Baldwin // Honoré de Balzac // Rainer Maria Rilke // Edna St. Vincent Millay // Maya Angelou”.

“and to anyone who seeks to comport themselves with grace, dignity and a respect for themselves and for the differences of others, and to anyone who respects knowledge and understanding. For in the long run knowledge and self-sufficiency are greater than any weapons known to man. // I am proud to be a black man, I am proud as well of my Indian and Spanish blood. I am proud and knowledgeable about my culture and I am also proud of yours, and I seek to glean from your culture what it can teach me, because what is truly great and beautiful in any culture belongs to us all. I have learned or am learning the truth about the greatness of your culture’s contribution to the world and can only hope that you can one day learn and accept the truth about my culture’s contribution to the history of mankind. // Call me a romantic naïve fool but I believe that the depths of our respective cultures should provide us with the security to be who we are and yet not be intimidated or intolerant concerning others’ practises and persuasions. I still hold hope in the brotherhood of man. // Eat your meal first at home, then bring your apple and I’ll bring my pear and we will feast under the light of a merciful sun. I leave you with two phrases from one of America’s greatest prophets, Walt Whitman - “This is the meal equally set” and “Whoever you are come forth.” // …and never forget JesusAllahKrishnaBuddha loves you and it’s just as important to love yourself. // Love, peace and tolerance TTD ‘93”.

Robbie Williams



Robbie Williams - Escapology
Chrysalis 7243 5805792 8 (2002) - UK CD
Virgin 72435 81777 2 5 (2003) - US CD - US release with 3 alternate tracks and different track order


UK CD track list

1 - How Peculiar
2 - Feel
3 - Something Beautiful
4 - Monsoon
5 - Sexed Up
6 - Love Somebody
7 - Revolution*
8 - Handsome Man
9 - Come Undone
10 - Me & My Monkey
11 - Song 3
12 - Hot Fudge
13 - Cursed
14 - Nan's Song
15 - Save The Children - hidden track (same as US14) - see below
16 - I Tried Love - hidden track

US CD track list

US1 - Feel
US2 - Monsoon
US3 - Sexed Up
US4 - Get a Little High
US5 - Come Undone
US6 - Something Beautiful
US7 - Love Somebody
US8 - Revolution*
US9 - How Peculiar
US10 - One Fine Day
US11 - Me and My Monkey
US12 - Handsome Man
US13 - Nan's Song
US14 - How Peculiar (Reprise)

Notes: 1) CD was released in 2003 in a different version for the US market. Track order has been changed; tracks 11, 12, 13 and 16 have been removed; tracks US4 and US10 have been added; track 15 has been ‘revealed’ and renamed as “How Peculiar (Reprise)”. 2) Above picture was taken from UK release. Following credits were taken both from UK and US version. See bottom of entry for picture of US release. 3) No arrangement credits are provided by UK release about track 9 (“Come Undone”). US release credits Boots Ottestad as the arranger. 4) US release credits Dan Porter as assistant mix engineer for track US5 (“Come Undone”). 5) US release credits John Paterno as engineer for track US8 (“Revolution”). 6) Producer and engineer credits for US release are more detailed than for UK counterpart. Since versions of shared songs appear to be the same for both UK and US releases, these credits apply also to UK release, but with sometimes different track # identifier. 7) Mixing location credits for shared tracks 2/US1 and 9/US5 differ between the two releases. 8) Oddly enough, according to credits, UK version was mastered in the US and US version was mastered in the UK (…no, I have not mixed up the credits myself…) (see below). 9) According to web sources there exist some more versions of this CD on the foreign market: an Asian release on EMI RW 9787-7930229-4 (2002) has same track order as UK version minus track 5 (“Sexed Up”). An alternate Asian release on EMI 7243-580579-28 has same UK track order and content. A Japan release on Toshiba EMI TOCP 66132 (2003) has same UK track order and content but comes packaged as a box-CD with alternate picture sleeve case. Whether any of these comes with any of the original hidden tracks is unbeknownst to me.
