My introduction to Ivor Cutler, in the early 70s, in my early teens on the way home from school,
was spotting an LP disc in the middle of a busy town centre road
at peril from cars, buses, and lorries...

I took a chance to run across and rescue it.

No sleeve or inner sleeve, just a badly scratched and soiled disc

Took it home, cleaned it up, and played it on our family's old valve radiogram...

.. and was transfixed...


My memory is a bit buggered now, but I think it was probably "Who Tore Your Trousers?"

I haven't seen him since the bend in the river where the blind men fall in.
Where do they come from? why do they fall in? He didn't know.
