now I've found this thread, just wanna say..

i was one of those UK teenagers reading the NME back in the mid 70's
who took a chance on buying mail order import "Seeds" LPs..

.. such an exciting time of my life;
a vital part of my pre punk music education,
and my clumsy attempts at refining my anti prog rock electic guitar playing..

I [in respect of one of my longer term mudcat IDs "punkfolkrocker"]
do not feel any emotional loss at hearing this sad news,
why should I !!?,
I never knew the bloke,
but I do want to celebrate his bands great influence on my personal development
as a conasewer of histories finest trash aesthetic pop rock music.

cheers and g'night Sky.
