Harvey Bainbridge - it wasn't me!!

[Ben Fagin]

If you listen to the Hammy *November* 88 recording, DB says "here's our new
album Travellers Aid Trust, it's got a lot of good bands on it and you might
like to get it for Christmas, a few of us reached out maybe saying "let's
have it" (like those Bailey Bros. used to chuck out (mostly faulty) stuff)
Anyway Harvey quips, "Yes thats right, Dave will come amongst you and throw
you presents".

LOL LOL !!

Top Notch.
