    Hi Stormcock! Thank you for all this info. This is very appreciated. I made an addition to our website, where you can read it, but - as I told you - I was most probably blocked from the direct telephone interview with the artist. By doing this journalist thing as a hobby since the early 70s (and having also a national soul broadcast show), there are certain things I hate: arrogant PR persons. Best regards Heikki

    Hi Stormcock! It really is a great album. Thank you for this information. I specially asked Reuben about his previous recordings and it seems that he wasn't very truthful. I tried to conduct this interview over the phone - not just by emails - but somehow I got the feeling that the record company blocked it. We'll correct it soon, and I'll also inform the record company, because I hate this kind of behaviour. Best regards Heikki
