------------
Paul Rudolph also appears (along with Fred Frith on guitar, Fripp,
McCormick, P. Jones, Melvin, Mattacks, and Collins) on Eno's 1978 'Music
For Films' album, but I don't have that one.  If someone could provide info
on the tracks with Rudolph, that'd be cool ...

Interesting selection of bands - King Crimson, Chris Spedding/Sharks, Ian
Dury, Velvet Underground, Brand X, Can, Free, Fairport Convention (and
Henry Cow?).  What else could they possibly have in common?
