		That album was recorded in two hours one night after a gig at the ICA at Regent Sound in Denmark Street - in mono.
		A lot of that was recorded for a show we did at the ICA about Guillaume Appollinaire called 'J' Emerveille' or 'I Wonder' with Tom Kempinski who later wrote 'Duet For One' and became a good playwright.
		Anyway we put a band together and recorded an album which was frankly a bit schizoid, a bit of a mess because there was Bob's stuff and my stuff and it didn't really meet in the middle.

		Johnny Cash has had many hits over the years including 1963's "Ring Of Fire." Written by June Carter (before she was June Carter Cash) and Merle Kilgore, the song idea came from a book of Elizabethian poetry that used to belong to June's uncle, A.P. Carter.
		Anita was in the studio recording an album and needed another song, so June and Merle wrote "Ring Of Fire" in fifteen minutes.
		Anita recorded "Love's Ring Of Fire," but it wasn't a smash hit until Johnny cut it as "Ring Of Fire" for his own album in 1963.

		Phillip didn't start to concentrate seriously on his own recording career until the late 1970s, having only released half a dozen 45s prior to that, so he wasn't considered to be a very prolific artist.
		In fact it may be that Phillip didn't ever record the song himself as it was written in his car en route to the studio.
		Of all his compositions, this one has proved to be a particularly adaptable song with successful versions recorded in soul, reggae and pop styles.
