Yes, I remember it too. I think I still have the LP at home somewhere, and I recall that I even took some of the photos on the album cover. Craig Pruess and Visitor 2035 were the musicians. http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=5935. One track is already on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Rhodri Britton is still singing professionally, I found him on FaceBook and sent a link to this thread - let's see if he replies.

Nice. Any good Azeri music you might like to recommend....?? Difficult to know where to start.

I remember collecting beer mats in the mid-70s, would have been before I even started drinking beer. If you got lucky, the brewery sent a bar cloth as well, and once even a wine glass. I may even still have that lurking in a cupboard 50 years later.

Sadly the painting was sold...in 2019

So, have you traced your own ancestors back to the days when they actually made nails for a living? Strangely enough, my background isn't so very far from the Lockhart family. In the 1840s on...
