Baltin: Was there one song early on that jump-started this record and set the tone for what this record was going to be, both musically and lyrically? Baltin: I just was with Rod Stewart last week. And he has a project he's doing with Jools Holland, which is taking a lot of older songs and doing them with a show tune type vibe. And a lot of these songs, I feel like you have that same sort of timeless old show tune melody. O'Sullivan: Yeah. but it didn't take much practice to do it. And so we had great fun doing it 'cause as you know, on videos, you're doing it about 100 times. We had fun 'cause that's the first time I met KT, so here we are together, singing together, and yeah, it was great. Good fun. We're doing more. I think that there will be another one. I think the song "Let Me Know" is being released. I think that's kind of a good pop single. I think that may well be at the next video that we will do, so yeah. Jones, Peter (20 March 1974).
