Well I was a bit confused by this report too, but then I heard that what they
meant was that a day or so previously they had soundchecked all day at another
location.  I suppose you could technically call that a rehearsal, seeing as the
acoustics were bound to differ.  Anyway, they'd obviously put a lot of effort in
one way or another - intersong 'Pinteresque' pauses were cut dramatically and
generally the sound was excellent.  And as for the pathetic whining noise - that
was because I had sabotaged Stuart's saxophone as part of my 'Let's Kick
Saxophones Out Of Rock' campaign.

Talking of Camber Sands people have been squealing about tapes.  I can do a few
(maybe five?) for people if they'd like.   I'd be esp. pleased if in return
someone can give me a tape of 'Rhoda' or a non-Beat Patrol version of
'Loneliness of the Middle Distance Runner' but it doesn't matter if you can't.
Email me....

Nick, who does indeed have far too much time on his hands.  Would anyone like
some of it?
