The rest of the boxed-set is very art-housey. There's even an appearance by Peter Cook at one point.

None of it got much radio-play, except for that one track which (I think) was released as a single.

I heard this album for the first time a couple of years ago and found it very hard work. Self-indulgent to the extreme and overly-ambitious. They picked the right single I think.

Under Your Thumb is a classic ghost story and I remember kevin Godley singing it on Top Of The Pops. You could tell it was written from personal experience as it "chilled me to the bone".

How about these two songs? Firstly, 1979's 'An Englishman In New York' followed by 1988's tremedously catchy 'A Little Piece Of Heaven'.
Wake up Floydysaurus, I put that one up ....

I always had a thing for them. Strawberry Studios was just round the corner from me too.
The sad thing is all my albums, including theirs, are in the detached garage, meaning it's damp and horrid. The albums are all in plastic boxes, but I bet they're ruined

I didn't like the Consequences but I vaguely remember a wind one that was okish.

Anyone remember Neanderthal Man when they were Hotlegs? Got to number 2 in the charts in '70.
