Hi there!
It's my first introduction to Kevin's solo work... I thought I'd
start with his first and work my way through each album in
cronological order... Shooting at the Moon next then.
I'm familiar with his stuff on the Soft Machine's first album and
also the 'new' BBC release.
I love 'Joy of A Toy' though... I've been playing all day!!
Best wishes
Philip
