Notes
"At the time, my wife Anneliese was working at Reckless, a second hand record shop on Islington Green. It was full of talented people, really nice people as well. It was like an arts collective. We ended up with half the staff on Finisterre."

"And Sarah Churchill was in this super-Shoreditch group called Cosmetique who should have had a hit with Lady Di. It was hilarious. I loved her deadpan delivery, so we asked her to do the narrative part on the title track." (Bob Stanley 2010)
