It was very British, basically we had a meeting at Rob's house in Birmingham to do the box set. The subject of getting back together came up and we realized that's what we wanted. We decided right then, we're back together.
album bass came cozy deserved felt good great john knew leave light player realized studio tracks until valuable
A really great album came out of it, but what it did was leave all these other tracks that I'd done with John and Cozy. I always knew that Cozy was a great drummer, but I never realized what good a bass player John was, until he came down to the studio and started to play. I always felt that these tracks were valuable tracks, and deserved to see the light of day.
