Shacks HMS Fables is a great album packed full of great 60's guitar pop

tunes. I love Michael Head, a great songwriter, and I believe Shack were

Arthur Lee's backing band on his UK tour in 1992.

   Yup great album, " Water Pistol " ain't bad either but " Fable " is the 
one ... and yup Shack did back up Arthur Lee on that 1992 UK Tour. There's a 
CD ( possibly still available ??? ) on Viper in the UK ( it was previously 
available as a boot, but this version the sound is cleaned up a bit ) of the 
performance at the Academy in Liverpool, in May 1992, and Shack are Arthur's 
band, which is overall a pretty neat boot.
