Front cover looks like this:

Baddies - do the job 1

We can only hope it lives up to its title. And more.

pfffft

jetplane landing once did a longer tour than that of just the UK and it was in a shorter time

;o)

Did they play in Herefordshire and Cornwall on the same day?!

I'm convinced that's a typo, though...but perhaps not.

i'm going to pretend that

the names of both those festivals are typos.
