It's frustrating actually, the time involved in getting something released these days. My new CD has actually been finished for a year. It's only now that it's being released
It's not rubbish to say that I was a bit peeved about not getting credit for a couple of songs, but that wasn't the whole reason. I guess I just felt like I had enough. I decided to leave and start a group with Jack Bruce
