I own it because i'm quite old and got it the first time around, but it makes an interesting case study, that is paralleled in this country by a another version done by FCB (I think?) who was an Australian DJ. They both didn't get sued for copyright breach, but that it demeans the original. I know it sounds bloody ridiculous but in the Australian instance the case is in the high courts now! Regards, John
