Then when dunc joined the obvious introduction for him would be to make a LOL record. he remembers all those old songs too, so there was no need to change the song choices. In the beginning there were about 30 songs worked on, but some of those got removed before the recording stage.
I suppose having Dunc singing did make some difference. We had to choose songs that suited him, but the original list was put together mainly by RBC with some help from Astro. They're the oldies. The rest of us remember the songs well, but being slightly younger our main influence was early to mid seventies. That accounts for the more rootsy dubby flavor of Signing Off. it's the combination of those things that give us the sound we have. One minute a lightwieght love song [cream puff], the next a heavy dub [man next door]. It's the sound we make when everyone has an input.

Interesting stuff JB..... cheers
