Did the Shepherd's Bushes not have a name-change in its death-throes? Before becoming Magnifique, Mystique, or whatever it is now..

Something like Spit & Sawdust ?

Bar Salsa!

I had thought that that was just the name of an operation that occurred within the venerable Props umbrella, but you are quite right, it did involve a name change.

Am on much less sure ground with LA1, though? Don't remember that one.
