going off topic a bit, I had never heard this song though I am quite an ISB fan - are you, Maria? TT, don't you like "Big Ted"? (a bit too short a title for Descramble!)

No. I have never heard anything by the ISB (or Mike Heron) that I would choose to hear again.

thanks, Tet! I stupidly was thinking of "There Will Never Be Another You", despite my dear old parents' fondness for The Seekers! This new one is a bit more uptodate in some ways.
