Nice one, Rodney. Thanks for this (even if the book - anthropomorphised bunnies, yet! - means nothing to me).
ReplyDeleteYes, Mike, the whole idea is a bit of a turn off, isn't it? Fashionable at the time I guess although I seem to remember Peter Clayton being a bit circumspect in what he said. The last movement seemed particularly laboured to me.
DeleteThanks Rodney! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rodney! This looks very nice!
ReplyDeleteI guess this LP was inspired by the film, which came out in 1978, rather than the book which was 1972. Interesting idea. Thanks, Rodney.
