        OK, you win, you make even less sense than I do. But I'm 
        straight. 
 
 DM> Topham is where I got mine. 
 
        Where's this Topham, everyone talks about? I was once 
        driving in Sussex and asked a pedestrian "what's the best 
        way to Topham?" and do you know what he said? He said 
        "applesauce." So I shot him.

        I can never get enough of the 73/74 touring bands.

        No, _TOtR&RTYtD_ is a terrible album, but _Bursting Out_ 
        is OK. Not an essential album but it is nice to have and 
        there's a very good chance you would enjoy it. $4 for an 
        LP in good shape would be a fair price, just about right.

        That's the triple, _Yesshows_ is a double. Personally I 
        like _Yessongs_. It's not essential, but it is nice to 
        have. And I love the version of "Siberian Khatru" on 
        there, unlike the one on _Yesshows_.

        I've been quoted as saying that album sounds like "Gong 
        on PCP" though I was just listening to it last night and 
        find I enjoy it nonetheless. I admire it for being so far 
        over the top. I'll actually argue that the early studio 
        albums are genuinely good. 
 
 DM> Ever hear _One Live Badger_? 
 
        I asked for it at the store and the salesman said 
        "Badger? We don't got no Badger! We don't heff to show 
        you any steenking Badger!" which I suppose for some 
        people around here would be proof enough that the band 
        doesn't actually exist. 
 
 DM> Brian Parrish was the singer (Tony Kaye from Yes on rhythm organ). 
 
        Was that a colour note rhythm organ or the one with the 
        little buttons labelled Am, G, G7, Em, etc etc? Oooooh 
        aren't we catty today? 
 
 DM> Baker Gurvitz Army, Three Man Army, or Gun. 
 
        Hey, Three Man Army actually had a couple of decent tunes 
        and Baker Gurvitz Army actually had one sort of decent 
        tune. 
 
                                Chairs,
