      @@BilisNegra British musicians tend to be obsessed with the Blues and Soul music anyway but the most heartbreaking illustration here was naming one of their albums Steve McQueen, then being forced by his estate to change the name to Two Wheels Good in the States.
      Three other album names reference America, six singles, and I don't know how many other songs. He certainly ignored trends in English music.

      I think he understood where they could go, but I don't think Paddy could have foreseen before 1984 that he would have ended up with such an unlikely producer. One of the great things about both of the Dolby-produced albums is that they haven't aged at all, unlike so many other records typical of the period.

    Paddy is referred to often, he is exceptionally recognised by many, he's so humble too and that's another quality he has!
