To coincide with the Hacienda's 30th birthday, ditto.tv have finally released 'All Along the Dotted Line' by Photo Kid. It was a one-off from Ben Kelly with Godley and Creme playing all the instruments. It's been transferred from tape to digital, they've polished the sound and even given it an accompanying video.
This is the very first I've heard of it and it's not easy listening by any stretch of the imaginatiion. Ben Kelly's voice and delivery is eerily similar to Syd Barrett. Have listen to Barrett's 'Opal' album and see what I mean. If I hadn't known better I would have laid good money on this being a long lost Barrett/Tubeway Army collaboration. Now there's a thought!
