        I expect they were hoping that Dave would pull some archive stuff
out of the barrel and when he showed them the bottom already scraped for
_Glastonbury 1990_ they had to make shift. Or, in the more cynical
version, the bunch of cowboys never had any idea what the thing would be
as the release schedule only just made 10 when the Series started and they
weren't expecting it to be an issue for ages. Then this fell into their
laps.

        What can you do, a real record label would demand some real band
work. Sorry, this Election has made me cynical. Sorry, more
cynical. Yours,
                Jon
