In the case of 'Odessey and Oracle' all the original US pressings - and I think some other countries - have the additional writing on the front cover. I think the US record label insisted because they were worried the cover wasn't legible enough.

Be good to see some London folk at this in a couple of weeks time. I'm playing some records to warm up for Fabio Frizzi providing a live accompaniment of his original score to Lucio Fulci's masterpiece of grotty cosmic horror, The Beyond. But should I go in fancy dress as a big plastic spider..?

I do recall having conversations with @thequietus.com about going undercover to expose illegal work practices at Mr Sting's vineyard. Maybe now is the time, while Mr Sting and his lovely wife Trudy Styler are in England? I could sneak in undetected by the watchful eyes of the grape masters.

A lot of people don't realise what a huge Liverpool FC fan the late actor Yul Brunner was. Nor do they know about his life long aversion to aftershave.

That's right, Yul never wore cologne.
