Platinum Weird - the true story?

There is now a Wikipedia entry about Platinum Weird, which I blogged about way back in March. Check here on Wikipedia to read what the various Wikipedia writers have to say about the group. They cite many of their sources so I think it's probably correct (at least it was on the day I wrote this - with Wikipedia, who can tell what it will be tomorrow!)

Unfortunately, the bits of PW that I've heard have left me a lot less impressed than I'd hoped I would be based on the original track that came out (with George Harrison) and the cool intricate hoax that they perpetrated about their history.
