That's a brilliant article craner thanks. You are right it's not what I asked for but it was a very enjoyable read, really good journalism, in the sense he just let's the guy speak. Hardly any of these sorts of interviews have come out, these are the real gold, the minor players for whom it was a job. Like I've read a few of the FACT and RA oral histories and they're OK, but this is proper.

And it does skirt round the topic, sort of answers the question in a way, but I want more on it, if anyone else knows.

Recc the article for all to read now, here's a few choice quotes

We were doing things in the Tasco Warehouse, in Plumstead. I think that?s where Zinc had his first gigs. That was the place famous because it was where someone got stabbed when Rap was playing Mr Kirk?s Nightmare. When that tune came out it was like, wow what the fuck is this! It was mad. But it didn?t make anyone stab anyone.

Junior would say things like ?Margaret Thatcher only got 3 hours of sleep ? that?s all you need!? I?d come in mash up, and he?d say ?you only need 3 or 4 hours sleep a night boy!?

They smashed the granny out of it that weekend. It just blew. We came back on the Tuesday and the phones just started ringing.

Junior was like ?I want his face everywhere; if we?re gonna sell x amount of thousands I want people to know his boat at least.?

Marlon says he thinks he?s got one somewhere but he don?t know where. It?s one of them ones, we weren?t into keeping history.
