I know Griffin is on some of his stuff.

I have two Richard Strange and Doctors of Madness Albums which I think I
must have bought because of this connection - though neither of these has
Griffin on as far as I can tell since noone is listed by their real name.
One of them still has the price sticker on and I can see it cost me a
pound so maybe that had something to do with buying it.

I would hate to describe the style to anybody -  maybe mid 70s Art school,
Velvet Underground early punk (!!!) sorry that sounds so pretentious.

To completely confuse all of you in America Richard Strange sometimes
appears in the second series of "Men Behaving Badly" which is currently
being rerun on the BBC.  He plays Neville who is supposed to be an ex heavy
metal roadie who now owns a market stall. There Im sure you were dying to
know that.
