thanks for the info. I think this is the favourite JB album in my collection.
I posted a query on this very subject a year or so ago, and its great to get it from the Horse's Mouth .
I've printed it off & I'm keeping it in the CD cover.
I'm just amazed that 'Stardust' was done in diatonic. I wouldnt have guessed it in a 1000 years.
