The LP is called Music To Strip By… To more wholesome news,
EMI’s south London rep Dennis L. Watkins is celebrating on behalf of his seven-month-old son Kevin who has been named Star Baby Of Greenwich for 1963. Kevin was chosen from 300 entrants by actress June Thorburn. Kev took away a silver rose bowl, a pushchair and “enough baby food to last him the rest of his life” – a prize that will no doubt rapidly lose its appeal over time.

Best artist meeting of your life so far? I’ve met so many amazing people. I stood next to Brad Pitt at the urinals at Live 8, I’ve met Nelson Mandela twice and President Clinton but the best artist would have to be David Bowie whom I represented for five years. He’s the icon of all icons.
