Why does everyone on this %$#*ing net always have to pick
everyone's articles apart word by word?  Is it the need
to show that they're RIGHT and everyone else is WRONG?
Or are they typical computer nerds?

As to the guy that says that Daevid Allen wasn't in Soft Machie
because they're not on the albums that HE has (claiming to be
the first Soft Machine albums), I refer him to the album
"This is Soft Machine", containing their earliest material.
The lineup included Robert Wyatt on drums, Kevin Ayers on bass,
Daevid Allen on guitar and Mike Ratledge on keyboards.
Songs included That's How Much I Need You Know; Save Yourself;
I should've Known; Jet-propelled Photograph; When I Don't Want You;
Memories; You Don't Remember; She's Gone; I'd Rather Be With You.

After this, Daevid Allen left to found Gong, Ayers switched to guitar
and Hugh Hopper came in and played bass.
