Yes, it seems he was a punk. I was looking at one of my old records last
week (Beggars Banquet 1 - a compilation of punk bands) and realized
that the track "Ain't Been to No Music School" by the Nosebleeds was Vini
Reilly on guitar and Morrisey on vocals. The LP also has the original
"Talk Talk" by Talk Talk (except they were called something else) which
is a lark, but mentioning it does slightly bring this thread back to the
subject of dance music ("It's My Mix" '84 Talk Talk LP - not exactly
intelligent as in idm, tho).
Ok, I'm off topic. I'll only do this via personal mail now.
