Just when you thought you were safe, I decide to put my vocal talents onto CD. Yes, it was 1999 and I thought it would be nice to do a collection of sing-songs. Big mistake. Some of the lyrics are good, but I am not particularly pleased with my singing or the instrumentation. This was recorded when we lived in an upstairs flat, so my vocalisations often involved me singing quietly so I didn't disturb the neighbours, hence the strange nature of the vocals.

OK - not all the songs are that bad, I happen to think one of my best guitar solos appears on "When I Was Young" and probably the best track of the set is the Bonzo Dog Band inspired "London Boy", which comes complete with banjo sounds and coconut horse hooves just like the theme to "Steptoe and Son".

Probably the best thing about this is the cover, which sees yours truly being run down in car by himself. It was January when we took the pictures for that I had to lie on a cold street for ages to get the pictures. Talk about suffering for your artwork!
