I have in front of me a 1968 copy of the Guinness Book of Records (don't ask me why I've still got it!) and there is indeed an entry for the Longest and Shortest Titles, but of course 1968 pre dates Sir B. and so a Hoagy Carmichael title takes the honours. BUT the entry is not listed under the Song, Music or any other obvious section, but under GRAMOPHONE. Have people simply been looking in the wrong place?

If Guinness realised that they may have taken a dim view of it and deleted it from later editions. If it was a publicity stunt on behalf of Swarb it certainly worked for me - see you tomorrow night!

Cheers. > I personally thought Tull were pompous and pretentious and after a few numbers we gave up and went to the other tent and listened to the Dolmen who are Pogues/waterboys type 'rogue folk' - and quite good at it. I guess to a Tull fan the set would have sounded pretty good, and most of the crowd were obviously enjoying it. Certainly sound was good and the playing was perfectly OK, although IA's voice seems to be ageing a bit. Mainly I thought it was good when I first heard it 20 years ago but my taste has moved on while their gig hadn't.
