B&C...

I like it too!  It's a fun album.  I haven't heard in years though, since I
almost never play any of my vinyl and that's one of the few things still not
on CD (am I right about that?).  Of course, Shot Down in the Night is a good
one on there, and my brother and I still occasionally make jokes citing
"Don't Wait on the Stairs," which nobody else gets.  The one song there,
"Bitter And Twisted" was remade by Roger Daltry for a soundtrack album
(ooooh, can't remember the name).  It's not really a good song I don't think
(as done by Swindells), can't remember if Daltry's was any better.  Anyway,
from reports of Swindells' earlier solo work "Messages" (from dire to
worse), you got the better of the two.

Grakkl (FAA), who still remembers where he bought his copy of FB in c. 1981,
and even the particular area of the store that it was in.  Right across from
the new album display where I first dipped into Motorhead's No Sleep 'till
Hammersmith (a terrible mistake).  :)  The bong counter was just there too.
