I've found 2 of tapes he sent me. On one of these he dates the Entropy Tango
songs (of which there are about 4 in that list) as recorded in 1976.  My
guess at Auschwitz would be no later than about 81, but I can't actually
remember what I'm basing that on.

The really collectable item would be the album by 'The Magnificent
Bellyflops' (apparently a reference to MM's stomach) which he recorded in
about 1961-1962 with Langdon Jones, Charles Platt and Pete Taylor, titled
'Suddenly it's the Bellyflops' - apparently a very small number pressed
privately.

Platt, by this stage, had been in a band called 'Jesus Christ and the
Apostles', which I think is rather progressive for 1962 :)
