[edit] First single and first two albums
Was The Sun Goes Down really the first single? I seem to recall The Chinese Way predated it - or maybe that was later??? Also, is it worth mentioning the first two albums (IMHO much better than their later stuff, not that I'd say that in the article!) GRAHAMUK
Never mind - I've researched it and rewritten the article more or less completely. If anyone is not happy with it, well, you know what to do! GRAHAMUK 01:49 9 Jul 2003 (UTC)
The first two albums are very important! I saw that 'the early tapes' was not mentioned. AHHHHHHH!!!! This album is considered by the fans to be quite important because it shows the real jazz-funk origin of the band. The band even in 2005 is still playing track from that album in Live gigs. That why i edited the article
[edit] Name Origin
Name origin: I'd heard that the band's name might have been taken from a sign on a lift or passageway seen in the Doctor Who serial The Invisible Enemy; I seem to recall something like this being mentioned in the notes in Douglas Adams' radio scripts book, although this Doctor Who storyline apparently aired before Mr. Adams' involvement with that program.

[edit] Boon/R Gould
Although Boon was always known as 'Boon' he was actually usually credited for writing as 'R Gould' and only rarely 'B Gould'. Although he hasn't been called 'Rowland' since he was very young, it's important he's credited under his real name for accounting purposes.
[edit] Boon/Phil mismatch in caption
Boon and Phil are credited the wrong way round on the "Running in the Family" cover pic.
In the origin of the band's name, one suggestion is Tower 42. Considering the building was only named as such in the late 1990s, this seems rather unlikely...
