Aniff Cousins and Colin Thorpe are Chapter And The Verse. With their diverse LP, `Great Western Street', which took two years to be released, now appearing on all the hippest turntables, Record Mirror tracked Aniff down and got him to spill the beans

A GUY CALLED GERALD

"I heard some of Gerald's tapes when he' was still called House Master G and I thought I'd go and dig him out 'cos I'm all into helping the lesser man. I found him in his bedroom surrounded by all his machines.

His music at the time was really basic, only basslines. I told him before we went into the studio that the secret of success is to give your song something that people can remember it by. I even gave him the name 'A Guy Called Gerald', but now he's the one with the big house."
