Strikes me there ought to be three decent footballers names Emerson, Lake & Palmer too. Plus Carlton Palmer.

Barclay James Harvest was a bit tougher too.

Faye Emerson (Lady Gangster), Veronica Lake (I Married A Witch) and Lilli Palmer (The Four Poster). Even better than the real thing!?!

Or you could substitute Laura Palmer for Rex Harrison’s ex, but that’s sort of cheating.

Thanks Mark, I must get myself a Pete Frame book (tossed out my copy years back in a fit of anti-rockist pique).

It was the MRX3 Oxide that divided your serious rock fans from the rest.
