Are you sure? Why would they put two totally unconnected gentlemen on the cover? Were the real Derek & Ray victims of a cruel medical experiment?

Not sure if this has been posted before...

Are Derek & Ray in the group?

Give me Derek & Clive anytime

Give me Derek & Clive anytime

Me too!

Sean

Give me Derek & Clive anytime

Ah you say that, but if you listen to Derek & Clive now I don't think you'll find them funny, they were hilarious back then, but now? Anyone can swear.

Bonus prize for which is Derek and which is Ray.

Only going on what i was told by old A&R man at RCA involved at the time.

Derek Smith from London and Ray Cohen from Brooklyn New York.

They reckoned that by using standins of a Handome nature would help sales along.

.......Not quite right in this instance.

Here is Interplay album

This was a Wigan sound but St. Ives had it way before Wigan, I remember some of our lot going to St Ives then the next week asking Richard for it at Wigan and he hadn't heard it - took another 3 or 4 weeks to get a copy
