Thanks John. I like Sweet Thing, Cyprus Avenue, and Madame George on Astral Weeks. Love Moondance LP! Will revisit The Healing Game if I can locate it. Is Days Like This on that one?

I've very fond of it. There's nothing quite like it - I love a lot of the songs and Dylan's rendition of them - All The Tired Horses, Alberta 1/2, Early Morning Rain, Belle Isle, Take A Message To Mary. Boogie Boogie is bollocks. I'd love a proper bootleg box. Isle of Wight is on there?

Haha! Thanks John I couldn't wait. Just been playing In Spite of Ourselves driving down Cumnor Hill. Wish I'd never sold my vinyl copy a few years back. By the way is there a sort of sequel and if so what's it called?

Maybe The Theatre is the most memorable track? It's that line about the bums you step over as you leave the theatre
