Re: (TV) 4th Album

Conversely, I was watching that old footage of them rehearsing in Ork's
loft, and I swear I saw them doing an *early,early* version 'Postcard from
Waterloo' with Lloyd singing. Was I hallucinating or was that what I heard?
(OMG - most of that Ork stuff was primitive!) I think some of Richard's song
would lend themself nicely to a Television rendition: "Field of Fire",
"Ain't it Time",  "I just wanted you to know" (? think that's the title) and
"Alchemy" would all sound great with the two guitar treatment.
