Scary eyes!

Scary eyes!

Innit. Luckily, he lightens up on the cover of his Nintendo game



Brilliant concept for an lp, though. According to discogs, Russell appears to have chosen a tune for each of the 12 signs of the Zodiac. Mine is the Bee Gee's Edge of the Universe, which I've never heard.
Aquarius is "Aquarius".

Looks a lot heavier to me.

You could be right. How about this one?

[babycart]

Or this one?

The spinoff single from the album

On top of all of these splendid records Russell is also a campaigner for re-establishing (or at least respecting) the traditional counties of Britain.

On top of all of these splendid records Russell is also a campaigner for re-establishing (or at least respecting) the traditional counties of Britain.

There is probably some kind of rigorous and compelling explanation for this in terms of landscape zodiacs.

What happened to his teeth?

[bennyboy]

They fell out due to all the sweets and sugary cocktails.

[QUOTE=someblokecalledfuz;590920]I've never seen that Bill Garden... I have the one you mention set in the old transport museum, but there are rumours of another Bill Garden LP on the same label, I've only ever heard it whispered about in reverential tones and it is aledged to contain a James Brown cover... I know one infrequent poster on this board has it, but was vague on the details when quized, and to be fair was thousands of miles away from the record when asked. But.... further sleuthing has suggested that another board member may have a copy, a well kent Glaswegian face to you and I who I had been meaning to ask recently... but unhappy circumstance prevented me from doing so in December... Question is - do you know what I'm talking about? [/QUTE]

... wot? you mean that Glaswegian lounge banger recorded in a Cambuslang hotel function suite? Surely up there with Captain Marryat et al
