Hey Will :0).....At last we've got something we can agree about. Gerry was a consummate songwriter who continually searched for perfection. I think he also wanted to be recognised outside the usual pop circus. I play the CTC LP regularly, likewise Night Owl.
I have the double album First Chapter which features all Gerry's early stuff, most acoustic. Sleepwalking is perhaps my favourite as it contains the brilliant "The right moment" which Gerry thought was his best.
