.. the only pic I managed to take when I saw #jjburnel at his book launch. Still, absolute pleasure to talk to the man and get his ‘Strangler in the Light’ book signed ..

Searching for something else in the cellar, I spotted the two records I still own. Have no player anymore. Those were, at the time, the two which I couldn't replace with CDs, because these albums were simply unavailable on CD. Funny that both are commercially failed solo efforts of members of famous and successful bands.
