German review suppressed (see Settings)

Firstly, great to see the boys still remembered in cyberspace, which, had we had access to in 1970/71 would have been home to many of us.
Band listing does not include the great Pete Thorpe whom I had the pleasure of playing with in a band in Bournemouth and going to Glasto 71 and hanging out with in Freemantle Road.
Anyway, I digress. Although I only had a bit part in Muscle in 70/71, I had the greatest moments in 'Cotham Brow' as it was then known (or is that more Sandoz amnesia) not only partaking of the Boschburger, jamming with Dik Mik, Del Dettmar (Hawkwind) in the basement and attending what was for me the penultimate gig when Muscle supported Dr John in his full night tripper stage show. However, my fondest memory is of Muscle on the top of the Glastonbury Hill site playing an afternoon jam and I got so ripped I gave 25 hits of Blue Cheer away at the height of idiot dancing. Fond times! Rick Rutkowski

Please excuse the additional information but I still play in a band that does original and covers material called the 'Earl Grey Whistle Test'. We do a number of garage style psych tunes so if anyone is in the vacinity of London, Hanwell W7, we play the Fox in Green Lane once a month.
Thanx for your indulgence.
Rick the Poleaxed Polack. Rick Rutkowski
