As regards Felt, I actually meant to write something in that vein earlier
today ... _The Pictorial Jackson Review_ is definitely my favourite Felt
album and I know about several people sharing the same affection for the
classic masterpiece ... an excellent purchase is the CD version featuring
_Train Above The City_ in addition, which offers splendid jazzy
instrumentals. Generally I'd wholeheartedly recommend any Felt record
released on Creation Records. Besides, I've thoroughly enjoyed the Felt
story by one Alistair Fitchett in the Tangents 2.2 magazine ... anyone ever
heard of this excellent writer ? §;^D

The rain it raineth on the just
And also on the unjust fella
But more upon the just because 
The unjust steals the just's umbrella
