I don't have any photographic evidence but Stephen's outfit is an EXACT copy of the brown corduroy all-in-one trouser suit a friend of my mum's made me for my Six Million Dollar Man figure in the 1970s. #theTraitors

Went one town over to check out the charity shops and they had a 7" copy of Baby Jane by Rod Stewart in the glass case with all the precious things so that's how my day's going.

Sandy Denny - The North Star Grassman and the Ravens (1971) Island Remasters CD
In hindsight, 2005 or thereabouts seems to be the high watermark of the CD reissue era. So many great works of art made available for a tenner. Beautiful packaging. Sleeve notes. Great sound. We were spoiled.
