Bob Giddens from the band Surplus Stock

Hi john
This is Bob Giddens from Germany, how are you? After hearing about Tony Wilsons death i was surfing around, thinking about the old days, and i stumbled on your site. It’s a great informative site and a real piece of musical heritage. You did a lot of good work and can be proud of yourself. Somehow we never really made any money out of it all, but that’s rocknroll i guess. I had a band after surplus stock that made some money for a while, but now I make bicycles and stuff. Now my kids are making music-mike(the one who cried on the surplus stock record, if you remember) is in berlin and has a cool band called the virgin tongues- I wish there was a cargo for them around somewhere.
i will send you some artwork from the records we made in Rochdale and some pictures that i still have. I’m sure the one of you with your head in your hands was at one of our sessions(probably as i was singing!.

ok,that’s it for now,take care

bob
