A Man Called Russell
Gordon Hon (former
Dalek I Love You) writes:
‘I have had
a cassette knocking around for more than 25 years of music by a man called
Russell. It was recorded in his Birkenhead
bedroom on a 4 track. I think he had a clerical job in the tax
office. That’s all I know about him. I only met him once and I
remember him as a nice chap. He gave copies of his tapes to Alan Gill who
copied them for me. I have always really liked these songs. They have something
of Half Man Half Biscuit’s humour but are musically more inventive. Anyway I
have finally copied them & here they are in cyber space almost 30 years
later. I wonder what happened to him. I didn’t have titles for the songs; all
that was written on the tape was “Russell for Gordon” so I have invented them
based on the lyrics or almost arbitrarily for the couple of instrumentals.’

Gordon for making this material available)
