^^^^^^^ I hadn't realised they had been around since 1978 or used different band names. Thanks for that info P & C

^Sort of makes me want to check out all their albums from the very beginning, and listen to all of them to see if they had changed their sound around a lot or not.

^^^^^ Yes ................. so much music I want to listen - so little time to do so ......
