Indeed - those two  "Lee & Herring" mp3's are superb all the way 
through - and I'd hope that archives like that could be used to fill in 
some of the gaps in the forthcoming autobiography, although I'm sure 
his family heard those stories a million times - the bit about the woman 
who was convinced he shared a flat with Lou Reed & Stevie Wonder 
somewhere in Central London..haha
Personally I'd much rather read these priceless anecdotes than the 
Michael Heatley.."then he started playing records by a Manchester 
band called The Fall" tedium..
