HW: Wind Of Change

[david hall]

If I remember correctly Frenchy released the live LP without asking Huw.
That's what Huw told me in'85.

>Huw. Most weren`t that good (in his opinion) and so the first album
`Outside
>The Law` was rush released from his tape on Flickknife (Sharp 15) to try
and

>Included with this album was a free single, (free 001) of `Working Time`
b/w

>The next LLG release I`ve got is a 12" of `Dreams That Fade Away`/`It`s On
>Me`. Copyright is 1984 so slightly later then your listing. Personal listed

>Guitar/Vocals - Huw.
>This was released on Ultra Noise (12 Huw 1). I`m presuming this is also
