buried treasure


the things you find on old tapes ...

from a richard skinner session on the bbc 1985 sometime

paul quinn and edwyn collins - i like it like that (okay so i'm stupid - it's called different drum)

paul quinn and edwyn collins - it had to happen

paul quinn and edwyn collins - louise louise

oh and i forgot to add this to the long lost postcard brochure thing from ages ago. page 12. sorry.



ps - if you're late over here don't forget the orange juice sessions that are around here somewhere way back

I could do with picking up one of the usb tape decks. I have so much stuff on cassettes. I don't have any of my old vinyl anymore but I've several boxes in the cupboard filled to the brim with cassettes.....

(plans next purchase...)

Wow! An amazing find..

According to The "In Session Tonight" bible this was catually recorded in August 1984 and there were 4 tracks - you're missing a version of "Ain't That Always The Way".

By the way "I Like It Like That" is actually a cover of Mike Nesmith's "Different Drum" - later popularised by The Lemonheads

Oh and teh line-up for the session featured a pre-Smiths Craig Gannon! (others were Chris Bell on Drums and Paul Heard on bass)

Fact check OVER!

Aint That Always The Way was recorded by both Paul & Edwyn.

Paul's version was a single, while Edwyn on the b-side of his 12" release of '50 Shades Of Blue'

I'll post both of them at TVV come Friday....
