Well I have thought about it but no answer as yet. I can barely recall the year of decimalisation let alone who were the politicians behind it (which is one plausible area to seek a name for "him"). Eight years of Thatcher tends to deaden the brain for matters political. Still I'll try and come up with some suggestions ... >From: FULIGIN%UMASS.BITNET@wiscvm.wisc.edu (Peter E.

OX14 1JL, England. *** Here are a couple of snippets from reviews of the Go West album 'Dancing on the Couch': The jazzy touches throughout lead to comparisons with Level 42, but also culminate in an extraordinary piece of lazy "Shipbuilding"-style swing in "The King is Dead", the jewel in this record's crown. The fine keyboard playing, together with Randy Brecker's aching flugelhorn and Kate Bush's breathy vocals, adds considerable authority to an album that otherwise tastes sharp but lacks body. (David Sinclair, Times June 6th). Whether there's a market for Go West's more thoughtful clever pop remains to be seen, but soemhow I think those who grooved to 'Call me' will lap up the more mature undercurrent of 'Dancing on the Couch'. P.S. Listen for Kate Bush's appearance on "The King is Dead" - now that's what I call pop music. (Andrew Vaughan, Tracks , May - record store freebie) *** Vote Kate on June 11th.
