I watch the videos when they're on. Not too bad of a group.

Then old boy thought he could be an actor. Saw him in those Highlander episodes he did but didn't see him again.

The Raw and the Cooked is an ESSENTIAL, though critically forgotten album.It is an absolute must own.

Sadly, it is out of print, but I found mine at a used CD store, maybe you will too.

GREAT ALBUM

I've been to flea markets where cds and cassettes are sold for very cheap. I've seen The Raw and The Cooked cd at my regular flea market.

Think I'm right in saying there is a Prince connection with that album as i think it was produced by David Z and some, if not all of it was recorded at Paisley Park. Am i right or just making this all up?
