If I hear correctly - The Orange Electric Squares?

It really shows the versatility of the band, and also of Jeremy. I know it was all in fun, but he really could turn his hand to anything. Its like the Jeremy Spencer album from 1970. Such a great variation of musical styles...

I lent the Vaudeville album to my mother (she likes PG era FM) but she kept skipping the tracks every time she heard "Milton Schlitz" as it was annoying her. I had to make her go back and listen to Man Of Action as she is also a Mayall fan.

Slightly off the topic but it is really sad that I've introduced my mother to so much music...Everytime I buy a CD she borrows it!
