Great choice Cosi. I remember when & where I bought that album. He was a fellow guest at a wedding I went to and I had a chat with him about Peter Green because he did a lot to help him get back into reality. Nice bloke.

Nice story, TF.
I've only got the one Gary Moore album and it's really just a "Best of". I bought it because I loved his version of Friday On My Mind amongst others.

Re: Peter Green, Man of the World is one of my much cherished vinyls.
