Yep, that's it.  Don't forget that he (PT) also produced the album as well
as playing on it.  He used the  pseudonym for "contractual" reasons - all
quite odd considering both acts were then signed to Track.  What was the
follow up single to "Something In The Air?".  Afraid that I'm not aware of
the Tom Petty version of "Something In The Air", but I'll check it out.  Now
for another question from me I'm going to have to go home and check through
my reference sources so expect more from me tomorrow.  I'm sure, howevr,
that others will come along with more questions for you.

Well, turns out Bijou Drains was Pete's pseudonym as bass player on
Thunderclap Newman's #1 hit single, something in the air, with Jimmy
McCullough.  I think Tom Petty did a cover of that song as a new bonus track
on his greatest hits cd.  The other new song from that was Mary Jane's Last
Dance. OK- i get an A so far, right, prof. nigel?  what's next?  (This was a
great one, though).
