Jeremy quotes...
Good Technology
I remember going round to Stuart's place and he played it to me on his acoustic for the first time. It sounded unique then and I think it still does. How many times did we try to record it? At least four. A song in search of its tempo. I love it when Lou's bass starts to walk at the end. Eve of Destruction! This bloke called Tim who was an ex-telephone engineer figured out the number for the direct line into John Peel's studio at the BBC. I bottled out but various people phoned big John and plugged Good Tech. I must say he took it in a very relaxed and Peel-like manner. They changed the number shortly afterwards.
Fact
I've still got the bespoke rubber stamp, "FACT!" - nobody can say we skimped on promotion.
Paris France
This has one of our best outros.

Dive
We went to Doncaster and bought some gear. I got an echo unit. Well - everyone else had stuff to play with! DIVE...Dive...dive...
Astronomy
The truth is like an onion; it has many layers and can make you weep.
Crocodile Tears
I bought a red Hofner Verithin for 60 quid off a bloke on Bricknell Ave and wrote this the same day. It was my first song. I remember overhearing Steve Marshall playing it on the piano once when he didn't know I was there. It sounded great.
Sting in the Tale
Hal's "tour de force". I never felt the vocal lived up to his vision.
Marimba Jive
Light the blue touch paper and stand back! On a good night, if we got MJ in the right place in the set list, we had lift off.
