about

Tape 2 : Unreleased recordings and versions.

Tape 2 Notes:

Popular
Was not one of our best tracks…James agreed so we scrapped it and used the bass line for “ Hey You” and I wrote a decent guitar part as opposed to the shitty chords I wrote for Popular.

Razors
On this track I used a guitar I kept only for this song…all strings tuned to E…James adding violin..one of our finest moments.

Barry O
Strange one…never really seemed to fit in with what we did ..my fault I wrote it ..but great lyrics.

Today
This was an epic…Peter Moug maybe played guitar on this ..or I overdubbed guitar don’t remember vocals finish “ now I’, finished” and we play on for another two and a half minutes …definitely me playing guitar “solo” at the end.

TV
Very early gerils track….think I stole the chords from “ heroin ” (VU)…Peter Moug on keyboards.. ”from the bottle to the throat”..Great end lyric

Need I
Just me.

Need II
My favourite gerils song ever…I wanted to write a song with just one chord…and this was it.

Mike.

Many thanks to Alex Botten for passing the recordings on and the photograph of the cassette tape.
