Thanx - All at Meridian and Winchester. Steve and Wardi from Shy Simon Hanhart for working with a 75% defective studio and still managing to eek out the 'No Home' recording whilst consuming disgustingly health food and calling us 'chaps'. Joe for saying : 'Swaite ! play this one' and also not minding us telling his story in 'Sensible Child' which is ironically his favourite song - even before he knew it was based on him. Jim's dog 'Mutley' who smells. Scott for selling me his base even though he didn't want to. The hidious two - Claire and Adele. Ian Williams for his stunning vocal performance on stage (aged 8) . Roger Williams for video and photo shoot
Special thanx : Satt's folks - Paul and Val for their tireless, very costly ad (sic) very much unrewarding work behind the scenes. Carit for help with sound and gear shifting. Tony Sylvester. Midas Cymbals for being crap. Embassy No.1. beer and Pot Noodles for being the saviour of the hungry but lazy musician. All our family and friends for supporting us.
The multi - talented Phil Francis for the sleeve-work on our demos and letting us use his cymbal. Steve Leather for being a tall crusty who looks like 'Whizz' from MC4 for not being afraid to let us experiment with unspecified ideas. And finally despite being a shy, timid bloke. For being ace and joining in with our crap jokes, Nikki and Gemma for having constant interruptions to their private lives. The original 'Troublemaker' who shall remain un-named. And finally everyone who believed in us. "

"Please feel free to talk to me if you see me around. We'll see you soon... loads of love Swede"

Please note : - The submission criteria would not let me enter this as a self produced demo tape that the band produced and marketed themselves and so I took the catalogue reference and record company name of the only listed record that the band has on Discogs. This is a flaw in the Discogs database but that is for another time - as it could be 'operator error' on my part....
