Who is buying Robert Wyatt records?


We had a post about what must be one of the world's best Wyatt-covers: "Sea Song" by Rachel Unthank and the Winterset. In the last issue of Wire Wyatt seems to agree, and he obviously likes it. See the smiling man between two of them! The picture is taken by Allan Wilkinson.
If you wonder what kind of people buy records by Robert Wyatt, I hereby translate from Swedish to (my kind of) English (from the magazine Sonic, issue 36, 2007): " - Geography teachers. Maybe a couple of nurses. Yes, that's the way it is. Geography teachers and nurses buy my records. And old communists, because they become happy when you don't hate them".
