We were helped mightily along the way to getting 'Super Science Fiction' out, here's the list of thankyous that we couldn't fit onto the artwork:
Ellie Stanford, Harriet Mackenzie (violins), Abigail Fenna (Viola) and Nick Byrne (Cello) provided all the lovely strings you can hear; the artwork was provided by Elley Suggett and Jon Owen and edited with the help of Ged Doyle. Huge thanks must go to our families and friends, as well as to Ian, Tony, Paul, Enrico, Daniel, Al, Crash, all the Valhalla bands and goers especially the Laze, Ross, Paddy, Jon Turner, Pat, Rick, Amanda, Paul Tipler, Charlotte and most of all, Spike, without whom none of this fine mess would have happened.
The Seal Cub Clubbing Club have made a few people smile, after all.
