Great Album!

Strangely enough, Sundae Club were asked to do a copy of "Bathtime in 
Clerkenwell" for a TV ad for Goodyear Tyres. Apparently, RTW (who is 
one person, I think, not a 'band') couldn't get sample clearance for 
the vocals on the track, and our music agency who also represents RTW 
rather cheekily asked if we could do a pastiche of the track without 
using any of the original notes, tune or any samples!  We used a bit of 
Martinge's Mk1 Mellotron that we'd previously used on our track 
"Frankie and Tronny" for the strings!

If anyone has Broadband, I can send them an mpeg of the original ad 
with the RTW soundtrack and ours for comparison. I'm not sure who won 
the pitch, but it wasn't us!
