AN APOLOGY

The representatives of Nick Bell would like to make it clear that Mr Bell would like no association with the Country Joe and The Fish track that appears on his Rocket Science selection. The wrong track was associated with the wrong title..Mr Bell was unavailable for a full statement except to say "wrong County Joe song i hate that one" and "Wor Geordies lost his penkers (marbles to the non fluent Tynesiders) if he thought track 6 was my choice" The correct track will appear on RS #5:05
