When a problem comes along you can Swiff it. Swiff it real good! Seems Ferry's not the only one selling their back catalogue for a healthy buck. . . . and according to 'Club DEVO' is also reworked for a singing Hasbro electric toothbrush as 'Brush It'. Brilliant. Anyone for a singing 'Pyjamarama' pillowcase? Lee S ____________________________________________ Easily distracted? Displacement activity a problem? Me too.

Juliet Mann on the rocks? Aren't you confusing her with Jim Lawn (boom! boom!). Yes indeed that is the same lady. PA to Anthony Price for years and brought in by him to work alongside Ferry - being from the "Fashion World" managing egos was second nature to her. Great shot that one and undoubtedly influential in the concept for the Siren cover.
