So what happened in those missing hours???? Let's just say that things got slightly out of hand at the infamous Manumission Motel".<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-6" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[6]  Ian Parkinson, Radio 1's head of specialist music programmes, puts it another way: "There had been tabloid accusations of us being closely linked to Manumission, where sex is openly promoted on stage...But then we lost Lisa I'Anson in Manumission - later found in a less than coherent state.".<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-7" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[7]
