"All

public; the only one that was deliberately 'given' to the public domain
was that one the two of you did."
Yes,
the only thing that did get released was when Finish The Story was as
good as finished – I’d walked off stage in the middle of a gig at the
‘AdLib’ and decided to call it a day (or was I sacked?). It had all got

Revox PR9910 - that was released on ‘Gunfire and Pianos’ (like
‘Doorways’ a track recorded in a bedroom in Bromsgrove).
