End
Robin Simon in for Stevie Shears on guitar, and off to Conny's. Lost the exclamation mark somewhere in the woods outside Cologne, and returned with good material. Shame it didn't sell... dropped by Island despite selling out hundreds more gigs. Exciting, but it's like being married to four people at once - you really can't stay long. Made plans for a half-glimpsed future and printed enough cash to tour America.
