The Shadowy Blokes at the Red Knob would like to thank the wonderful
people at Mediscan, Wellcome Trust, Science Photo Library and the far-away
(in geographical terms) University of Heidleberg who allowed us to use
their images. OK, so we paid them, but we’d still like to thank
them for understanding what we’re trying to achieve.
A huge debt of gratitude goes to Web Weaver and Meister of the Urban
Dark, sleazy motels, garage-band groove and general downtown detritus,
illustrator Mr Chris Hathway. Also fellow inky blotter the brilliant
Biff, Bang POW Mr Mike Higgs for the S.S.
Underground ‘arry A. gets a MASSIVE mention for his support, input,
inspiration and BIG Impact. U will reach the Edge of the Web – cheers
mate. Big thanks to Mr Billy Childish and Nurse Julie for the use of
Love Comes in Spurts... Not forgetting Linda the Accountant without
whom this would be an unrealised phantasmagoria, plus other people whom
we’d love to name, but dare not for fear of jeopardising them, their
livelihoods and their families. Die junge sozialistische Gesundheitsfaschistpolizei
runners just might come a-knockin’ on their doors…Ever noh what it’s
like to live in fear, batty little man?……How ‘bout U-Roy? U noh who
U R…We mustn’t forget the crucial Mr Paul Lowe, his band of printers,
and their smokin’ machines for printing the ‘damned’ fanzines and helping
us out, and dare we ferget - our understanding families whose scorched
retinas also get a mention for their patience, tolerance and a host
of other platitudes…
Final, huge thanks go to Mrs X for financing the whole shebang. We’re
forever in your debt.
Literally.
