Reckon someone at the printers went "Oh look, they've misspelled that, I shall fix it"

Ha, the same album mistakenly printed a picture of the Gang of Four on the back cover.

I saw that Acura spot yesterday and just remembered to mention it on ILX. Good for them.

Never been a huge fan but the documentary on Netflix right now is great, they seem like such awesome people and a really inspiring vision of how to be a rock band for decades

Nice version. Saw the Delta 5 way back when

It's on my band's "to do" list, our first go was a bit like the Sex Pistols version of "Through my eyes" but.
