Why is the lead singer called Frank Read and Frank Reader?
On “Cake”, Francis is listed as Frank Read, but since then, he is known as Frank Reader. His real name is Francis Reader, and there is speculation that his name was intentionally spelled wrong on “Cake”. Francis’ sister is Eddi Reader who is a solo recording artist and had a number one song in the UK called “Perfect” as the lead singer for the Fairground Attraction in 1988. TCS apparently did not want to use Eddi’s popularity for their potential benefit. Also see question 10.4.
