No,it's a fact, Phil. But did you know Spinal Tap was not a real band?

WHO broke the record Phil?

I (niki) received this message from Art in Scotland-

"Yep, they were THE loudest, it was at Charlton FC 1974. It was listed
in the Guinness Book of Records, but not any more, i think because
more bands would try to outdo them (what a laugh!!)
Even so, when they played the IOW they actually moved the audience back
don't quote me) because of the volume.

Thank you Art.
