unreservedly recommended by me too. this has everything you'll ever need.

two versions of this that i'm aware of, one in green and peach (?) one in
pink and dark purple, the pink one being a re-issue. i'm sure either are
kicking around bargain bins and charity shops looking sulky and magnificent
even as i type this.

> Other than that ... well, Alistair and Tim are watching. §;^D

watching you just neatly double track name dropping giving the Point Of
Perfection as being Hip Hip and probably agreeing wholeheartedly, although i
have to say i am very partial to If It Rains. Did that sentence make any
sense at all?

As for vinyl, well i'm still partial to it but with new releases i can't say
i bother too much. i do like the pause on the Sinister CD between sides one
and two though... Tim and i at least know of someone who used to programme
in a pause on his cd player to simulate turning the record over... Not
that's excessive, surely?

not getting into the name-slugging tomfoolery at all, except to say that to
all who might have birthdays soon, or later, we love you all and wish you
all those birthday wishes and please now no-one ever call me a sod. even if
i quite clearly am one.

keep the faith,

the duke
