Oh, that’s a real shame. Really loved World Party including an excellent early gig at the Astoria Charing Cross Road.
Thank you and goodnight to Marcello Gandini.

the point being that given the brief of designing a look for what would’ve been a mid-range saloon he was able to make it interesting & appealing.

Such a shame, really enjoyed his first few albums.
Come Up And See Me was played at a mates funeral who died far too young
Never really liked make me smile on release. Now think it’s a brilliant track.

Oh that’s sad.
I must have been 15 or so when Judy Teen came out. Very fond memories of schooldays parties.

Faint memories of school and his Dad telling us something along the lines of “drugs are bad”.
It would be easy to be glib about it but for any life to end so early, for such a talent to be snuffed out and for a father to lose his son, yeah.

Blaming Andy Fraser for his son’s death wasn’t his finest hour.
Great guitarist and a great band, pity they didn’t stay together longer. Rodgers was such a great singer.
