Bill Pritchard - Bill Pritchard (1987) 5"

My first post of the month. One of the artists that was talked about during my NW101 days. I never had a chance to listen to his songs until I stumbled upon 2 of his cds in one of the indie record stores in Yokohama, Japan in 2001. And here's one of them, his self titled album. Bill Pritchard is a British singer-songwriter, musical arranger and producer. Similar Artists: Ian Broudie and Brian.. Just my opinion!

Now my question is, does 10 portraits of jews exist?
