@Paytress @elvis_wiki You might have seen them backing Thin Lizzy at the Odeon in November 76?

Clover getting rave reviews for their single Chicken Funk, released around the time they were backing Elvis Costello on the recording of his first album, My Aim is True (Newton and Earlestown Guardian, 24/11/1976) @elvis_wiki

@elvis_wiki Maybe although 15/11/76 was a Monday and Clover were playing the Hammersmith Odeon, supporting Thin Lizzy. Perhaps he was there!?

@elvis_wiki I reckon this is the interview with Oswald Mosley that inspired EC to write Less Than Zero, recording it just days later. 17-11-1976.

@elvis_wiki And if he’d watched I Claudius on BBC2 instead we might have had a very different song!

@Paytress @hderek485 @StuartPenney1 I was on holiday in Shanklin with my aunt that weekend. I remember hippies everywhere. I doubt my aunt had a clue who Jimi Hendrix was but I (aged 11) was mildly excited at being on the same island as him!

How about an album by Ross McManus- Elvis Costello’s dad?

Van Morrison has released 45 studio albums, Bob Dylan 40, Elvis Costello 33. I was surprised to see the Rolling Stones output is relatively slim - just 25 studio albums in 62 years.

@sunnyraisin62 @RichardBalls @ElvisCostello @elvis_wiki With you on that, Tony. I also slightly prefer Tiny Steps to Radio Radio.
