Kevin must have been worth his weight in gold to the Argo/Decca set up. We worked with him from 1970 until 1977 and he was always brim-full of ideas for new LPs with a slightly different twist, and he produced most of them on a shoestring budget. We used to take our sleeping bags to London and kip on his floor. There were no hotels for us in the early years, but in a way that suited us just fine because we would never have felt at home in them and staying with Kevin was much more interesting. His background was so very different from ours and between us we had a fund of stories that kept us laughing into the night over a glass of wine...
