1995 demos
Just added the 1995 demos to the "audio" section of the "Media" page here. Here's what Mike Finney has to say about these:
"In 1995, Steve and me got together with Nick Gartside (Manc producer), on bass, Bernard Van Den Berg ( Distractions after Alec left, then Secret Seven) on Drums, Kevin Durkin (ex Direct Hits, who we knew from TJM records at the beginning, and Escape Committee) on guitar (bass on Good Girls) and played half a dozen gigs in and around Manchester and Liverpool. All these songs were in the set, with many other new songs, but only Still It Doesn’t Ring and It Doesn’t Bother Me from the old stuff. We were tempted to do Looking For A Ghost for an encore, but settled for Valerie and a few Lou Reed songs, which is in keeping with what we would have done originally.
Good Girls Don’t Get To Paris was written in 1979, but unrecorded until 1995 at Chiswick Reach (Joe Meek’s Studio where Telstar and My Generation were recorded). The other 4 tunes were recorded at Manchester’s Out of the Blue Studio in 1995 (This was the original ‘Madchester’ studio, owned by Nick Gartside)."
