Good Stuff! Love the bass.
Martha and the Muffins. One day in Echo Beach... the next day it's Danseparc. Whatever next!
Speaking of Danseparc, the Muffins 1983 album of the same name is going to be reissued as a 25th Anniversary Edition CD, digitally remastered with 3 bonus tracks. Check Amazon.co.uk for further shennanigans...
