As a matter of interest did you know who he was impersonating? I seem to remember him doing Albert Steptoe and it actually being quite good.
Did you have Steptoe & Son in the states?

I just checked my CD booklet from O.K. Ken? This is from the liner notes:
"The voices of John Peel, Hughie Green, Max Wall, Kenneth Williams, Chris Wood, Rt. Hon. Harold Wilson, Steptoe and Son, and that of a Radio 5 announcer, appear by courtesy of Stan Webb/Special Effects: Harry Simmonds Chorale/M.C. for "Live" Track: Harry Boxer."
I don't know most of these names, do you Gail? Wasn't Harold Wilson Prime Minister of Britain? I've never heard of Albert Steptoe either.
By the way, why don't you still have your vinyl copy of O.K. Ken? That's worth quite a bit of money these days. I'd love to get a vinyl copy of both Chicken Shack albums, but they're just so expensive.
