HW : well HUW / Widowmaker

[Steven Davies-Morris]

That's the 2nd Widowmaker album.  The first, with the black cat with the
flashing green eyes on the cover had a different lead singer and was much
harder edged.  Like a smoother Mott The Hoople.  I gave it to a _very_
sexy girl a lifetime ago, because she loved the song *Mean What You Say*,
which had the chorus:

"Do you, do you really, do you really mean what you say?
 Can I, can I have some, I will pay you back some day."

Jenny, Jenny...brings back outrageous memories!
