No it didn't

I don't think many Billy Bragg fans defected to the Tory ranks. I could be wrong though.

"Later period stuff is possibly forthcoming: http://www.eggrecords.co.uk/future.aspIt's been forthcoming for yonks, with no end in sight"
Hence the "possibly". Jim Kavanagh showed up on the "forthcoming from LTM" thread to talk about this a while ago:
"The Bachelor PadThe track listing is still undecided for various reasons .. however it will have the original version of "girl of your dreams" (from original tape) as released with my fanzine of the time "simply thrilled" (and others). Warhola singles maybe (anyone know the whereabouts of Mike Stout), rarities maybe. There is so many.
I have the 7 songs from the "frying tonight" concert will possibly release at some point maybe as a download "EP"... thats one of the reasons the track listing is still undecided, there too many options!
Remember Fun
I have "re-mastered" the original "train journey" etc demo, sounds fine, there seemed to a story around at the time of the matinee single that masters where lost - I had some (but not all). The guys are recording some new songs (original band) 'cos they wanted to.
Even As We Speak
Possibly rare/unreleased stuff, watch this space as they say but it all takes soooooo long.
I couldnt say why Oz labels are not interested (hey they know where I am if they want to help!)
I also have plans for releases from Lets Go Naked. Not as well known as EAWS/Lighthouse Keepers but excellent.
Thanks for the interest and yeah I found the "chicken rhythmn" reference, Its a long thread!

Yes, they tracked down as many band members as they could. I certainly supplied Sanctuary with addresses/emails of as many of the bands as I knew, and generally (the indie network being what it is), someone knew someone else & so on.
>>>Harvey, any idea how many of these tracks are dubbed from vinyl?
No idea. Another Sunny Day's contribution is certainly from a mastertape, but as that tape is a 20-year old Maxell C90, it's never going to sound great.
And that's the point, I think. As often as not, a mint vinyl copy will provide as good -if not better- a remastering source as an old mastertape. Tape is prone to all sorts of deterioration issues (hence the need for "baking" old tapes prior to replay). If a mint vinyl copy can be found, it's simply a case of recording that from a top-end vinyl player.I've not listened to the compilation analytically yet (too busy loving the music & reveling in the memories), but the sound seems fairly top-notch to me. All except "Sunday To Saturday", whose right channel has peak distortion throughout. Which is a real shame. But as John Peel might say, "life has peak distortion throughout".

It is nice how many of the writing credits are on first name terms only, eg "Sean".

I would aslo like to see the Some Bizarre exhibition near Russell Square, but you have to ring the bell to gain entry and I am worried about that.

The frontage was totally blank. Unless you knew it was there you could never find it.
You had to ring the bell to gain access.
I did so frequently.
I was always let in.
There were no sinister overtones.
However the shop has since ceased trading.
So perhaps the blank frontage was deleterious from a marketing point of view.

not for the first time, I covered a song from C86
http://soundcloud.com/pinefox/therese
― the pinefox, Thursday, 12 January 2012 11:29 (twelve years ago) link
I have been listening to the 3CD C86 compilation.
First CD is, I think, the original tape then extras; then two more CDs of other material from the year.
First two CDs a bit disappointing, if anything -- basically because they didn't correspond to the myth or legend of C86 as a genre; they're often not poppy, jangly, etc; the original C86 just was not the same as the idea constructed retrospectively. Some might say it was more interesting. There are influences from The Fall, noise, sneering - mostly not my kind of thing.
The third CD though seems to show the aesthetic (as it would later be seen) cohering more and I enjoy it best.
― the pinefox, Friday, 6 April 2018 08:33 (six years ago) link
Disc 1 is just the original tape, there's no extras. Well, apart from they used the wrong version of the Pastels song, it's the version from the Truck Train Tractor 12" instead, which is particularly annoying since that's one of or perhaps the only song that isn't available anywhere else. But that's fairly typical for Cherry Red records.
― Colonel Poo, Friday, 6 April 2018 09:22 (six years ago) link
So the tape was 22 tracks ?!
I need to read the sleevenotes properly.
Velocity Girl, Therese, It's Up To You -- all tremendous. Otherwise not very convinced by that first disc.
― the pinefox, Friday, 6 April 2018 10:04 (six years ago) link
Worst things on it: probably Stump and Half Man Half Biscuit.
"9 Steps to Ugly - Eddie Lopez lives in SloughVery cool, proto-Sundays. Makes me wonder if that is actually Harriet Wheeler singing."
Hard to picture HW singing a song with that title.

Crikey, though, here it is!

That song is fine, my kind of thing in a way, but it does not really sound like Harriet Wheeler at all.
