Love his books to this day, a literary giant. The Tin Pot Foreign General and The Old Iron Woman is an amazing piece of work given its intended audience and subject matter.

Ever clocked how much the 12" goes for on Discogs? It’s always been pricey - will only increase now.

Even the (disappointingly short) 3 minute version on the 2013 reissue is pricey.
Krikor edit on this from Pilooski is good. Also seems to be pretty expensive nowadays (for an edit).

Very sad to hear. The Filmworker documentary about him was great. What an extraordinary person.
