    Fine stuff and very enjoyable. Surprised how good it sounds. Wally Stott, now there was a strange bloke (or wmoan)!

    I've never heard of the Polka Dots but if they're anything like what the Mike Sammes Singers did on their ep "Something We Eight" they should be very good indeed. Thanks to azule serape for sharing both eps - I'm looking forward to listening to them.
