The local remaindered book shop have been selling  a series of books with the title (approx) the best selling albums of the decade, (Abacab is included in one but sales figures, if I remember correctly, are <5million.

Actually , it is not hard to believe. have you seen how many tim es it has been released both on vinyl and in Cd. I stopped counted after 20 different sleeves and title. they must've suckered a lot of people into buying it more than once.

 I have this one as Rock Roots (from Decca/London). I love the silent Sun artwork: a sun setting behind a bare tree: reminded me of W&W.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
