HW:Excess Studio recordings

[starfield]

Apparently Dave used to play bass too - a rare Fender 6-string though I've
never seen any photos of it.  Incidently, on the Live '76 album, Paul
Rudolph plays lead on at least Chronoglide Skyway and Kerb Crawler.  I
wonder if he played rhythm guitar on the original version of Assasins of
Allah - he wrote the riff after all.
