- Dare I say... Leonard Teale would be better than Succotash!? No, I

-
- But our patience will be rewarded with an even better album. Compare the
- version of "Donde Esta La Pollo" on the album to the version released as
- a single (which will probably be the version on the new album). Much
- better.
-
- And by the way, if the Chickens are in the same form they were in the
- other month, they stand a good chance of blowing the Poppies off the
- stage... :-)

-
- I'm told by a person who has heard the album that there's SAMPLING on
- this album! :-) "Accidentally", luckily, is a one-off of sorts. And
- there's a new version of "Labour Of Love" on the album, too...
-
- By the way, seeing Frente on Hey Hey last weekend - I had the volume
- down, and looked at the TV set, thought, "Oh. Margaret Urlich." Then I
- turned up the volume. Double-take time... what HAVE the Mushroom style
- department done to Angie? :-)
