Saw Albany playing an upright piano in an upstairs room in a pub in Manchester in the 1970s during a tour organized by Tony Williams of Spotlite records. Albany looked in bad shape physically, which wasn't surprising in view of his misfortunes. Have some lovely Albany with Lester in my collection.

I never went for that one with its glorification of the Oxbridge set, though it's probably the most popular of Waugh's books. For me the great Waughs are the early satires, Handful of Dust in particular. And The Loved One, with its Englishman in California, might appeal to board members on both sides of the pond.

Always thought the title track went like mad on that one and was in a different class from the other tracks. Someone - Higgins, I think - is making a lot of "gone" noises on that one. Notice it had a different recording date from the others.

Enjoy! Now reading Eric Ambler, The Light of Day
