This would have been the session that produced the "Lord of the
Hornets"/"Greenfly and Rose" 7" (with Simon King, Huw, and on the first
track, Lemmy), right?  At least Bob was able to find a good keyboard player
(some guy named 'Simon', I think, who also plays fiddle) for the 'Hype' LP.

Has anyone tried this?  The ODBC queries to get to individual tracks appear
to be broken, so I can't download it.  Especially frightening that it's a
bug painfully close to what I'm doing (or should be doing, rather) at work
right now.
