In the early 1990's, Liverpool had fallen into A&R shadow; I kept recording anyway. Astral Girl is the title track of a 5-song E.P. of my unreleased wilderness years tracks, finally issued on Record Store Day 2003 by Liverpool's 9X9 label. Link to buy in comments. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0BH...

2nd anniversary of the publication of Revolutionary Spirit - a Post Punk Exorcism. Whoop Whoop. x

Even though I had left the band by this point, I was in the studio at Rockfield with Julian when this was being recorded. I thought if this is where the band are headed, things are going to get really interesting—possibly my favourite Teardrops song.

Forty-one years in the making and worth its wait in gold.
