Hi Joe.

No, Devil to a Stranger, along with Nics first 3 albums, is still unavailable. Does the name Dave Bulmer ring a bell??!!

I'm pretty sure that Nic never sung this live. It was used on Devil to link the other songs together.

At one point there is a lovely instrumental version that links into a beautiful guitar tune (The little leafy hill IIRC)

It was this talent for linking song and tune together on both Devil and the album before Noahs Ark Trap, that set Nic apart from others from others. I hate the term Concept Album, but, even after all these years, nobody else has really outdone these two very special records.

Regards Ralphie
