Sadly, I don't have the LP. I saw it in a pound box in a stall on Plymouth market about ten years ago. It might still be there, but I wouldn't recommend going to to look for it because Plymouth is a strange and terrible place. Strangely enough, the most loathsome aspect of that town is their particularly unpleasant football team, who play in a manky monkey-snot green strip. Perhaps green clothes is the link. Or perhaps it is the fact that Prince Charles is also the Duke of Cornwall, and Plymouth is (culturally) part of Cornwall. All I know is it's all related, pal. Yeah. Sorry if I have offended anyone from Plymouth on this list, but I'm only telling the truth. The Duke of Tiverton wrote:

some stuff I've deleted about Black Tambourine, and getting an education

Yes, yes, and don't you think the time might round about now be just perfect for that long dreamed-of Shapiros compilation, pal? How come no-one talks about the Shapiros on this list? For anyone intrigued by the prospect of getting a Dukester-style education, it is always important to remember that you absolutely ARE allowed to say "oi, Sir, what is this crap music you're playing? I can barely concentrate on my wire sculpture project", and (as long as you have remembered to call him Sir), he won't mind, especially since you mentioned Wire, which shows you've been listening. If he asks you to stay behind after pop class for a little extra Feelies lesson on the side, well, I can recommend it. But when it's time to study Meat Whiplash, run away. Pal. The best thing ever in Plymouth was a record shop called Meat Whiplash. It had *Bobby Gillespie* written on the shop hoarding. It was amazing. This was when Bobby was the International King of all things pop, mind, before he turned into a sad, wee-stained rawk parody. The shop closed down. Duke, what's the uniform like at the Harringay Ecole Superieur de Pop? And what are the fees? Hm. what an unusually South-West England orientated post. Ah! Lee Hazelwood. I detest Lee Hazelwood for the following reasons: 1. that moustache 2. forcing The Byrds to erase most of Gram Parsons' vocals from Sweetheart of The Rodeo. I'm not sure this is true, but I think it is. And here's a little riddle for you, from the Hopkins archive of elderly and retired jokes (it's where the jokes go to die): You're stuck in a lift with a hungry tiger, an angry cobra and the editor of a major music publication. You have a gun, and two bullets. What do you do? That is all for now. Sorry about the low interest factor in this post. But I was bursting to talk about the Shapiros. And now I've relived myself.
