What a great line up!!!!!!!!!

There is no doubt in my mind that if it wasn't for miles a huge number of bands that we know and love today would never have come into being.

Nice one Moses. :)

Thanks Keithie and OverHillandDale for the comments on the show. It was definitely a fun one to put together. Miles was undoubtedly a musical force to be reckoned with, and we're still feeling that impact today!

Spectrum is a great place to start with Cobham's discs. Warning: They're not *all* as good as that one IMO.
