  • review: Bream 1975;
  • review: Anthony 1975. Mixed or vaguely positive. Calls Nicky's work in Lady Sleeps -> Old Man River "the worst piano solo I’ve ever heard, the kind of thing to make even a hack cocktail pianist burst out laughing". Likes JG more, calls his playing "egoless and joyful", and thinks he should do a record of jazz guitar.
  • JGMF: The Group Probably Will Be Short-Lived, Because Hopkins Has Other Contractual Obligations
    • Torrents for Date
