...and while we¹re talking pre-recorded holiday shows, does anyone
remember/have copies of , a series of shows he did that were all based
around a particular band and it¹s various offshoots ? If memory serves
correctly, this included Soft Machine, Roxy Music, the Rolling Stones and
Cream, which I guess means we¹re talking early 70¹s.
 I had a couple of them on tape at one time, but unfortunately they were on
those nasty (lime green!) Boots C120¹s which deteriorated rapidly to the
point of being unusable. I think I may still have the Roxy one, but it
sounds awful. 
Cheers
Roger
