did he know much about aztec camera at that time. both debuts came out in 84 and im sure he collected lots of singles and saw lots of bands but being in scottland and them in london and still not very famous in 84 (n ot to mention the songs were written and recorded long before even that date, was he really that jealous of aztec camera. seems kinda like a stretch
