I turned on the radio this morning to hear the wonderful sound of Gil
singing on a twelve inch version of 'The Bottle' (perhaps it should have
been called 'The Hypodermic' judging by this last incident) which was
really funksome with plenty of flute and bass. I've never really heard
any G S Heron before, and now I'm intrigued. Can anyone supply a
discography and maybe a review/comments?
