Comments: Yes, this album really does exist. The back cover states, "...based on the stage musical to be
produced by Weston Gavin." Part 5 is Side A (tracks 1 through 4), and the rest is Part 6. Of course, it's easy
to miss Bruford's name up there on a list that includes the likes of John Entwistle, Alice Cooper, and Justin
Hayward, to name just a few. For an album with so many big names, however, it sure does fall flat. They all
basically sound pretty drunk. Purely for the interest of hard-core collectors, but certainly unique and
unusual. There are no parts 1 - 4. The whole idea of the title was a take off 
of old radio serials / comic books. in fact there was a comic book based 
around the 'concept' of the album included in the 'NME' somewhere around 
the time of the original release as a marketing plug / tie-in.
