I always wondered what happened to Ben Gunn... something about a band called Anabas.

Anyhoos, doing a bit of digging, I found this:

Dunno if it's him playing but it's, er, interesting. March Violets bass and drum machine with Steeleye Span vocals!!

If I've posted something illegal that infringes copyright then please remove... but it's over 20 years ago and was probably hasn't been available for, er, over 20 years.

Nice find.

some further research:

http://www.kollecta.com/Collector_Item/ ... 594785.htm

Which states "Recorded at K.G. Studios." - which is, of course, Kenny Giles' studio.

EDIT: post above won't show up because the forum software can't parse the link below when I put it in URL thingies and decides instead to go mad and display a blank post (but try quoting it to see the actual content). So you're gonna have to cut & paste the link below into your browser bar.

Hi there,

is the file still online? I can't get it. If I try to download I get a zShare window with the file "anab_thc.zip". Then I press download now, wait for 20 sec, get a download link and if I press that, the procedure starts again. There's a message "Your download has started" but nothing happens. I tried it with Firefox and Internet Explorer on two different PCs and asked a friend of mine to try it, but no chance.
Please help, I would really like to hear it.

Thanks a lot

here you go - url's don't like special characters, such as parenthesis.
