#1 Robert Calvert to be commerated with a Blue Plaque!

Hot on the sad news of Nik Turner passing away, blimey, Bob Calvert's former home gets a Blue Plaque.

Dunno about the claim to the block of flats being the 'Birth Place of Space Rock' though, surely that would be somewhere in West London like Ladbrooke Grove, Lansdowne Crescent, Notting Hill or Westbourne Park?

But it was probably the High Rise inspired by the track erm...called 'High Rise'.

I would have picked 275 Portobello Road but what do I know :-)
