Advantages: Terrific Album, talented guy
Disadvantages: none

...the album it rejected in 1995, ironically titled “Sell Sell Sell” to cope with the demand for his music. He also appeared at this years Glastonbury Festival thanks to a cancellation by Burt Bacharach, and has two forthcoming sell-out gigs at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London.
