The one I kept was the Pentateuch of the Cosmogony again not for the music but for the big shiny book [by now even Greenslade must have cottoned on to the fact that the better/more pictures there were the more he sold] As for the music

Well, yes I think you are right there. Not the only band to get a sales lift from the Dean effect I imagine. They were one of those bands I stuck with despite the feeling that were a bit less than the sum of their parts on record. Though with a better singer they could have been the proverbial contender.
