Single: Live and Let Starve/Just another Piece of Grit (1990) Roy Perkins Album: AD INFINITUM. (Perky Records PK001, 1985) Inspired (somehow) by Frank Herbert's Dune, Roy Perkins' only solo album took him almost a decade to complete. The mis-spelling of the title on the cover was the reason ostensibly given by the record company for withdrawing Roy's long-awaited concept album. Anyone who has ever listened to it will realise there is a much better reason.
