        Shockingly I didn't actually know the name Mike Howlett when I
last saw a copy of this (it may still be there for all I know), so I don't
rememebr it being there, but I know that the chief mover and shaker on
this project was Hari Williamson, who brought Nik with him from Sphynx
which is why he's one there; Steve Hillage likewise. I believe Miquette
Giraudy is also on it somewhere. I have a nagging feeling that it may also
have an ex-Hawk drumming but I'm not sure which one. Either Alan Powell or
Andy Anderson I suppose given that they were in Sphynx, but they'd both
gone by the time Sphynx got on the road so perhaps I'm just raving.

        This time when I go into the shop I saw it in I shall be prepared
to buy it :-) Yours,
                     Jon
