…and that reader was me! Thanks very much, this really takes me back. If you could scan the interview as well that would be great. By the way, it’s not The Swans, just Swans – you might want to change that in the header and tags. Thanks again for this great work.

That cover looks very familiar. This was when The Burning World came out on a major label, I think.
What was Danielle Dax promoting at that time? Her US compilation Dark Adapted Eye? Her next official album wasn’t out until late 1990, I think?
Roachford! As I stop laughing I can remember one halfway decent song on there — no kidding!
