Shakespeare said

"Be not afraid;
The isle van is full of noises rabbits
Sound, and sweet airs that gave delight and hurt not sound a bit like the Beatles
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments samples, (oh well)
Will hum about mine ears dog; and sometimes voices bats not"

Really music is a very personal thing; it's the product of a person's experiences. Since no two people have been exactly alike, each writer has something unique to say. (That makes anything which is not just copy of something else worth listening to.)- get lost Rod.

Believeing this, and laden with gifts of fruits and nuts from the Orient, we descended upon CBS chieftain Derek, and with smarm and charm extracted, astonished, the finance necessary to compose, arrange, perform, produce and cover an LP ourselves, with no outside help or interferance pretentious git.

This is the result:

Thanks to Terry Quirk Michael Bunnage (front) + Regale (back), artist flatmate of Chris Alan, for the cover.
Thanks to Will Shakespeare Rod Argent, not flatmate of Chris, for his contribution to the sleeve notes
