        Or you can go Calvert -(_Captain Lockheed_)- Viv Stanshall - Bonzo
Dog Doodha Band and get there in two steps. But the long connection
strings are always better :-)

        The above refers, for those who don't know, to the fact that
Stanshall was one of the actors on the album. Speaking of which, a freidn
of mine found a remaster copy of that just lately. Still on BGO, but
wearing the remaster sticker that Castle and their puppet Essential
use. Are BGO part of Castle now? If so, can we expect remastered
Man? Yours,
