Yes. Encores are rubbish.  However, didn't they do an encore on their
Paris Black Session show?  It certainly sounds like 'Slap your Cock
Around' was played after some goading.  "We don't know any other
songs," claimed a half-wit band member, before remembering one.

Incidentally, a kind man taped me the Satanic Session, and a very nice
recording it is too.  *BUT* it does sound like it's being played at
the wrong speed.  Has anyone else noticed this?  Not only do all the
songs sound like they're being played too fast, but the voices sound
very squeaky.  Now I've never heard Stuart David sing before, but I
can't believe he sounds that silly.  Can anyone verify this?

Does 'Paper Boat' make anyone else hold their nose and pull the chain?
Are those lyrics crap on purpose?  Am I missing some big joke?  Nice
breezy tune though.

FAX ME corner:

Does anyone know the exact date of the two Mark Radcliffe sessions?  I
want to put it on my tape inlay because I am like to hold my P!O!O! in
as long as possible.  A FAQ from Katrina long ago said the first one
was in July 96, but that's all it says.  And Keith's FAQ is all vague
and bearing in mind that he says that the first one was "around
September 1996" I'm inclined not to trust him anyway.  Unless
Katrina's not to be trusted, a thought I cannot countenance without my
whole world-view collapsing.
