I've been away for about three weeks and I'm wading through hundred of email
messages. Anyway, don't know if anybody has answered this one correctly or not
so here goes.

"Don't Give Up Now" was a single ages (a couple of years or so) before the LP
came out. I saw Izit play at the time and the singer was not Nicola
Bright-Thomas. I think the girl's name was Sam Edwards. Anyway she definitely
sang on that song and I think she also sang on the song "Inner Consternation" by
the Powdered Rhino Horns. The PRH record came out at about the same time. I knowa remix of "Inner Consternation" came out more recently, but the original was
much better.

Hope that helps.
