Our overseas members: how well represented were A&S in your countries? Here in the USA, at least in the NYC metro area, they quickly established a reputation as great lp makers and live act; their singles got a good amount of airplay on the r&b stations as well. Even the early live shows were explosive; the Bottom Line gig for Come As You Are is, 43 years later, still a great memory; even the wait-staff and bartenders were dancing for the up-tempo songs.
