Hi Robert,
You forgot the best ones from Leeds.
Wild Planet
LFO
Nightmares on Wax
That's how I picked up a copy of the original NOW - Dextrous demo white
label when I was in Leeds last.
http://www.discogs.com/release/35147
Simon Hartley from Wild Planet used to be in a band with Mark Bell
before LFO and Wild Planet existed, but I can't remember the name
and I don't think they ever released anything.
Maybe I'll find some more GEMS next summer when I go back.
