From the mail bag. A certain T.M.B Rice of London SW10 wins an LP for his letter railing against musical snobbery. Sir Timothy Miles Bindon Rice, songwriter, perchance?

Musicians vote for their ideal group members and Tony Hicks didn't vote for his brother-in-law (even though Ray Davies, Georgie Fame & Eric Burdon did). Oops...
