Assorted List from the Backissues
Tracey Thorn
was one half of Everything But The Girl. And one of Great Britan's finest contemporary singers. Style Council, Massive Attack and several other musical projects asked Thorn to help out vocally. When the Queen will finally make a woman a sir, Tracey's the first to be honoured.
