Time Captains

[Andrew Garibaldi]

Hi.
For all those that have expressed interest,the track is "Time Captives" and
it's off the third Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come album "Journey" of which the
remastered version with bonus tracks is available from me at CD Services for
pretty well standard price. It's a classic of its time, easily the best of
the three Kingdom Come albums and one I have to admit that I still play for
pleasure when the chance arises.If only someone would issue the Kingdom Come
BBC Radio One session tracks  - now they were sensational!!!!
