Four wheeled Creature
For many years I worked in the music business when recorded music came mainly the the form of black discs that revolved at either 45 or 33 rpm.

When I was working for a small pressing plant in north London a client came in to collect a number of test pressings. I knew the guy well and as usual he asked me my opinion of the artists. My colleague Chris & I chatted about the merits of the various groups on the pressings.

All was OK until we totally dismissed a certain LP by a band called Freedom Fighter. We criticised the composition, vocals and musicianship as it all was crap.

We were then informed that the test pressing was by a band made up of kids suffering multiple sclerosis who were all wheelchair bound and only had a few years to live.

Sorry guys

Wait
Four wheeled creature - probably the best title to a post about kids with special needs I've ever seen.

And horrible - at least I'll not be alone in hell

Four Wheeled Creature was in fact one of the songs on the LP. After being informed about the band I felt duty bound to give it another spin! I still didn't think much of it, but that song title stuck in my mind!
