HW observation

[trev]

Some of the tracks might be on this  
http://www.cherryred.co.uk/cherryred/artists/stevetook.php It's called 
"Blow It"

That many years old moab release was our old managers project, the one 
who scuppered the Black Widow deal. They though they could go it alone...

I can see it would be a good collectors item...They put everything they 
had on it. I haven't got all that stuff. They have since apparently 
disappeared from the scene.

Never mind everyone...this is designed for the maximum aesthetic reward
