my grim experience of vault has taught me it's always best to bash them over the head with as many as many visuals as possible, John, so: looks very much our type of thing. i know Justin has made mention of HPS in Fanatic and now having scrutinised the cover and watched the video, i can so understand why this would appeal to him! very glad to see personal favourite, Haining & Sellwood's hilarious Devil Worship In Britain, made the back cover! will be up for a copy of this when it hits the uk stores and no mistake.
