The Blue Midnight material is my favorite on this LP, kind of laid back jazz funk punk with big horns, but both other bands have there moments.<\/p>\n
Hamburger All Stars have amongst the singers and players, Anno, Mark and Dennis from Alternative TV. Steffy from Here And Now, Justin Adams from Impossible Dreamers and Grant Showbiz himself. I also think Andy Morgan, one time Blyth Power backing vocalist and now world music supremo has a part to play in these recordings. I could be wrong though but pretty sure it was he who gave me this record and told me that many many years ago.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Instant Automations have there own brand of pop quirkyness at the end of the second side ‘Short Haired Man’ being a class tune.<\/p>\n
Protag from Instant Automations (below) with Grant Showbiz organised the bi-annual Meanwhile Garden Free Festivals\u00a0near the canal\u00a0along\u00a0Great Western Road\u00a0in Westbourne Park W9,\u00a0which run from around 1976 to 1988 (I think), so thanks to them both for the effort they put in, so us lot could have a free afternoon of music and fun.<\/p>\n
