iv. "As far as I know, this is the one and only Belgian Krautrock single. Their original guitarist (who had gone by the time of the album) used to ten the bar at a very dodgy café in the centre of Antwerp, called ‘De Kleine Nemo’ (‘little Nemo’). Unfortunately, it came under very intense scrutiny of the boys in blue, who smelt something fishy (not to say hashishy) and closed it down", thanks to Louis Behiels

ii. more from Louis, "The record was released only in Belgium and France (as far as I know) but on the cover it said ‘No. 1 au Kenya’. I think (but this is conjecture on my part) that the record was done by one Terry Ward, who may have served as a soldier in Kenya, and later returned to Blighty"

IV. Glenda Pescado recalls, "A bit of historical context: Oliver is the uncle of Jethro Chaplin who owns and runs Mwnci studio where, as you know, Sendelica has recorded many albums over the years. I met Oliver in the 80s when I came to West Wales to play in Nik Turner’s band and over the years have had the pleasure of playing with him at many jam sessions in his home studio (some recorded by Christopher) and at various local parties. I still see Oliver around but haven’t played any music with him for a long time now"
