Once again sweet listener it falls upon The Alphabet Business Concern to magnanimously spurn all praise and self-congratulation for bringing into existence yet another wondrous creation such as this splendid recording that you hold in your sweating, clasping hands and indeed, to mete out both thanks and appreciation to some distinguished associates for their help and talents that were so cunningly used in the process to varying degrees and with debatable effect.

The gratitude of The Alphabet Business Concern is surely recompense enough for their sterling efforts, sometimes unasked for, or wanted, even, but given with a glad heart nonetheless.

And so it is with no thought whatsoever for the seemingly eternal, thankless commitment from the firm, yet kindly, influence of The Alphabet Business Concern that the following names of note should receive this generous and unselfish ‘Pat on the back’….

Mary Wren, Tim Rogers, Michael Chapman, Sharron Fortnam & WJ Daniel. All bona fide representatives of The Alphabet Business Concern, for their unfaltering loyalty and dedication to the cause. Truly above and beyond.

Stephen Gilchrist, Nick Howiantz and the stalwart team at Brixton Hill Studios for aiding and abetting the whole process with the minimum of fuss & faff. James Larcombe, for help and assistance far surpassing reasonable expectation. 
A simple thank you could never be enough, but in this case it will have to suffice.

Emily Jones, for refreshment, encouragement and hospitality of an acceptable standard, considering.

Rob Crow, for his exemplary drummer editing skills and for making things better, apparently.

Duncan Cooper, an honest man in a world of thieves. Sean Kitching, a journalistic hack with integrity, good taste and a big heart. Sean Newsham, dedicated press agent extraordinaire, a veritable stalwart, or so he would have you believe. 
Ron Synovitz & Mykalos Muller, for bravely having a go and taking such great care of Jim on his visit to Prague.

And lest we forget, our fallen comrades, Tim Smith and Tim Quy, sorely missed.
