Oh yeah, that too.

The Reproduction and Travelogue albums are the pre-pop ones essentially. Before the Heaven 17 guys left and Joanne and Susanne joined.

That’s very kind of you to say @Corpsey but can’t be true!

I had a good time on the dole for a couple of years in the early nineties but I think it’s probably pretty hard work now, especially in London.
