Mr PFFlyer:

nice little radio show you've got here. Checking in from Rock Falls WI
  11:35am
clarke:

i am of the opinion that difford and tilbrook needed each other for optimum songs - not as much of a fan of each's solo work. also, one of the most disappointing records i have ever heard is that Difford & Tilbook 'solo' record..
  11:36am
clarke:

quite possibly the worst victims of 80's production
  11:36am
Mr PFFlyer:
