Ask Me No Questions - Including The Earlier Single And Sparingly Produced By Peel - Was The Label’s First LP. The Follow-Up The More Highly Regarded Songs For The Gentle Man Was Produced By Ron Geesin.

American English Places A Full Stop Or Period After St And This Had Happened On Several Releases. One Album Actually Uses Both Spellings She Is Currently Represented By The Agency Grapevine Recordings And They Give Her Name As Bridget St John. This British English Spelling Would Be Expected Because She Is British.
