        I always thought similarly about the ST recording of ME262 -
though it isn't quite all the band in the credits, it really does sound as
if they were all enjoying themselves hugely recording it... a sound that
the later albums lack a bit. Maybe this is why the first three are top
choice of much of BOC-L over the better-produced later stuff. Two
penn'orth, anyhow,
