I will, thanks for the pointer.

Also Steve Barnacle was a band member as well; be interesting to find out which Barnacle wrote the songs.

I would love to know why Leisure Process's album that was planned for release never was, and if there are any plans for a CD release of it perhaps, or even if their singles (A and B sides) are planned for a CD compilation. Also, does Gary still keep in touch with Ross and what is he up to these days?
