    Steve Miller was the fella. Someone on another bbs I used to go to did a mix of it a couple of years ago I think.

    Stealers Wheel did the song in Reservoir Dogs.

    I don't think so

    there was a cut up of Abracadabra on Southern Fried a few years ago -might have been Space Cowboy - but the title was definatly called round & round

    Spotters! - the US release of Abracadabra has the excellent Macho City on t'other side which was a big Paradise Garage tune

    It was Gerry Rafferty of Baker Street fame. Unless you are a big fan of Joe Egan's solo work
