Hmm... So McGear wasn't. Though I could swear that HitParader story
listed him. Must have mixed up 2 stories. Funny, I've been carrying that
memory for years :>
McGear was definatety one of the Scaffold trio. And part of Grimms too (of
whom I'd never heard - googled to find more - Scaffold + Liverpool Scene + 2
Bonzo's [Innes & Stanshall]). Interesting...
