Why this scatomological Bonzo Dog Band post? Well, on the occasion of "Music for Life", a potlatch which our public broadcasters VRT are abandoning a tad too soon - see also http://snaporaz.posterous.com/potlatch-vs-the-prisoners-dilemma

Finally that reissue! Amazingly, this particular Fb group was late to pick up on this news … and neither is this petition dead y… And so after long debate over at WB HQ, it's Harkit that got the rights to the cd reissue … They did a nice job, complete with 12 page booklet featuring (short) liner notes by one Freek Kinkelaar and all lyrics, including those to the two - top - bonus tracks (from the same 1974-04 session). Sadly, though, dark (red) text on a black background isn't easy to read. If you'd like to know which role Steve Winwood, Caspar Lawal, Neil Innes, Jim Capaldi, Madeleine Bell & Doris Troy played on this particular Vivian Stanshall record, check:
