Gert - looks like you got there first and did all the work!  Never mind, part of the fun is in tracking down the music.  Especially now that ebay has distorted the business of record collecting.  I have most of these - but I do not have 'Chequebook Girl'.  Do you happen to know the source, was it recorded for a radio show?

But they have set me off on one of the obsessive quests that grab me now and again - i.e. Glass Menagerie! Research via Ken's book tells me that they did two Peel Sessions. All but one of those tracks seem to have turned up - a cover of 'One More Heartache' - at least, I presume it's a cover! Anybody know it, have it, know where it might be located? Ken also says that they did a session for the David Symonds programme, and of course they may have done others. I have discovered that they are included on a BBC Transcription Disc from 1968 - three tracks, which could well have been the David Symonds session. The band often turn up on 'psychedelic' compilation CDs, of which there are now many of course.
