Got my two major papers. The Herald Sun, a right wing sensationalist paper has a small article "Acid Rock Muso dies" (arseholes), the Age, a more credible paper has an article and an obituary. PM me with an address I can send the articles to if you want.

yeh, makes him sound like a player in a pub band. Fuck if was some "garry goodhead" pop singer it would make front page news.

I am really angry, can't you tell?

You obviously don't like 'Garry Goodhead', that's for sure!

Okay, there are some scans in now from the British Press thanks to myself, Rob Morgan and Stu Avis. Take a look.

If anyone else has any more from around the world, then please do get in touch and send them for inclusion in the gallery.

Funnily enough I was surprised to see youd found a piece in the Express Keith as there wasnt anything in the one in my local newsagent so it must be a south of the Watford gap thing ???

I find it odd there could be different content of newspapers in "national" newspapers in such a relatively small country!

Anyway... the two articles are in the gallery and one is marked as being from the South!!

I never knew that
which ones did he sing?

He sang on Astronomy Domine and Matilda Mother (and perhaps others) but I thought it was more backing vocals than the lead.

A diversion from the actual topic of the thread, I know, but I really liked David's re-recording of 'Arnold Layne' with Rick on vocals that was done for release with the Bowie version (though I expect that version was well-debated elsewhere on the Forum during my lengthy 'absence').
