I'll have to get the CD and the Book of Tiki in the same room (early next week) and make a comparison. This isn't the first time images have been ripped off from 'The Book' and I'm sure it won't be the last. In fact, I seem to recall having dropped someone else in it in the past! Out of interest, what tends to be the result when someone gets caught in the act? Any financial compensation or is the end result usually a grovelling apology? The CD itself contains 3 slabs of classic 'Fu, seemingly back on form. Their version of 'six-pack' is slowed down considerably, and they manage to put their own stamp on it. There's the aforementioned Tiki torch photo on the back, as well as an original (for a change!) drawing of the band as Tikis on the inner sleeve. It must be said that this drawing resembles neither Fu Manchu nor Tikis.... This 3 song CD is a single, not an EP and so is rather expensive for the price they are asking. Perhaps they realised they would have to set some $$ aside to compensate Bigbro! Trader Woody
