Yeah, The Church have recently released a new album which is entirely
covers - the last track being Silver Machine - although I haven't heard it
yet due to my money mysterously disappearing when I walk past CD stores
having sales.

BTW, can anyone tell me if the new `Stonhenge revisited' (I think that is
the name - it has most of the Stonhenge gig with Freefall, and other
Hawklord stuff thrown in) is worth getting?
