I know that. But was just wording if the songs might have been knocking around for sometime. And also thinking if play to win was knocking around with the other 3 songs. I have this single on record cd and 12 ins plus tape. But I never did get the album or hear any of the other tracks

There was an interesting piece in the Irish Times a while back about the Moylett family, well about Johnnie, and his sisters Susan and Regine. it was part of a series about famous siblings.

Some interesting things about the Rats and the Moylett family dynamic if one cares to read the feature: Think it dates from early 'noughties'.

re the 3 songs they are all very good so it's really hard to choose. RE ever rejoining the Rats I think it's very unlikely - and living in Japan poses major 'logistical' problems. Maybe if he lived in the Uk/Ireland/Europe then it would have been a different story.
