[kj] In Cythera Down By The River with MMXXII

[Neil Perry]

I admire your restraint... I bet you have Sting-style five-hour sex
marathons as well, don't you?

In deference to you download refuseniks I've been trying not to wax lyrical
here too much
after the initial burst of excitement. But I think (hope) you will be
impressed. Suffice to say
you can count me among the more-than-satisfied camp, despite my dislike for
several songs
and being completely sidetracked by conspiracy theorists. Having lived with
the songs for a
week now, I can safely say there at least three that have made it into my
personal all-time KJ
favourites list (entry to said list is strictly controlled - the previous
three LPs have a pretty poor showing).

But hurry up and hear the damn thing as I am keen to know what you think!

And don't worry about What Records - the communication may be sometimes
lacking but
I have bought five or six records from them over the last few years and
they have always
turned up when they said they would.
