The first time I heard this album - I kid you not - was in a basement flat in Swiss Cottage, and the guy I was sharing it with (I'd just moved in, and was not long in England at the time) made us a spaghetti dinner on one huge serving platter with a fork at each end, and we met at the middle. (Anyone remember that scene in Lady & The Tramp?) When the food was gone we fought a fork-duel, which I lost. I think there were even candles...
