Very old tapes of Jadis and Ark

   Hi, im new to this, so sorry if it takes a while to work it out. But, being an old prog head, and regular gig visitor between 1983-1995, I managed to visit the Marquee and Royal Standard on a number of occasions, and picked up tapes that the young bands were selling. Ark (from Birmingham) who featured a young John Jowitt (now IQ/Jadis), had 2 records (Vinyl) pressed around that time. 'The Dreams Of Mr Jones', and 'New Scientist', plus 2 tapes 'Archives' and 'Stand Alone'. Very dodgy sound on the tapes, but I bought them to familiarise myself with the set. Jadis had 2 tapes, one produced by Steve (Marillion) Rothery. This was pre-Martin Orford line up. G13, Out Of Reach, This Changing Face & Lost for Words.
