One time when the 'The Flying Saucers’ came to Earth to play a few low key gigs, they met a guy, headlining at a local watering hole, Martin Cudworth, and very good they thought him. So they took him back to Venus with them, and he entertained them royally on the long flights, well about 3 hours in the saucer., After a few years of partying he got home sick and they brought him back to Earth. Unfortunately he left all his tapes on Venus, except for these. so only a few scraps remained of the times they had. Now these too have become the stuff of legend, as he left them on a bus, a Si fi nut found them, and recognised the tape brand as Venusian. He bootlegged them as ‘Syd Cup and the Flying Saucers’. We at DCM love a good story and Martin Cudworth - a Splendid guy - so we've included them here as: 'Cup without a saucer' - it's a bit rough, perhaps, but come on, Venusian Cassettes in the 70’s were awful, but there is some lovely music to be had here.
