Good to read such solid appreciation of Starry Eyed and Laughing. All there albums are classics, to me.
Tony Poole [the man behind the jingle jangle of that Rickenbacker 12 string guitar sound] has been in a new band for a while now - the superb Bennett Wilson Poole. That's Tony, mid picture:



Loads of stuff on youtube by them. If you enjoy, get their album.

Thanks Steve I'll check em out love the kitties on the turntable

Yes Steve, have that Dovers 10". The only way I can afford any of their stuff and even that's creeping up in value now.


And as for The Records-UK power pop royalty. Ex members of Magic Muscle and Kursaal Flyers. Shades In Bed is a great album.
