        Yeah - he is on those tracks on the SD97 CD isn't he? Or am I
hearing someone else?

        Non-album single from _Outside the Law_ sessions.

        Thought about that - is that what it says on the albums?

        I believe this is correct, although John Weinzierl disowns all but
_Hawk Meets Penguin_ as unfinished material which Dave Anderson released
without permission (sound familiar?)

        That's the solo thing I'm thinking of there...

        Not sure - I only saw it mentioned on here, and there was
confusion between it, someone else's album of this name, and Harvey's _Red
Chaos_ which all came out at  the same time, so I may have misread, or
read someone else who had...

        That was the last I saw on alt.music.planet-gong.

        That's him, but the actual recording is still from 1980 no matter
what the release date says :-)

        Ooh. Don't know. I have no source for Steve's band after _Fish
Rising_, and this has annoyed me before.

        Yup.

        2000DS, isn't it? Yes, I'd like more details on them.

        Ooh! Thanks.

        Yeah, I know of them, but they've never appeared with or
recorded with the band, so I left them (and Stacia and
Kris) out. Thanks for the interest! Yours,
                                           Jon
