Sorry, my mother does not wear army boots.

I thought your name was Micheal, not Peter Pan.

I guess that "Throbbing Gristle" can happily retire on his royalties from
the record. There does seem to be quite a lot of people who would like that 
kind of stuff, according to the amount of postings on net.music on the
subject of backward recordings. If I ever obtained a copy of it, the only 
use I would get out of it would be to transform it into a plant holder with
the aid of some very hot water.

I expect you're correct on your statement, Michael, but I think I'll pass on
putting it to the test.

Kind Regards,
