(fax) 08?

[Tim Wright]

Good research, Hellmuth.

But does that mean we're back to square one?  PK08/15 was just an
afterthought in the Fax catalogue: Synthadelic 3 has got PK08/36
etched in the run-in, but it's crossed out and replaced by PK08/15.
Looks like the signs of a minor cock-up and quick fix, rather than the
basis of the whole numbering system.

Also, I can't imagine PK branding his first release on his own new
label as "about average", he doesn't seem that sort of bloke.  (Yes I
know, 08/16 was first, I'm talking hypothetically.)

I very vaguely seem to remember someone saying that Pete considered
Fax his 8th musical project or somesutch, but I could well be totally
wrong here.  Anybody?


Cheers,
Tim
