I was fortunate enough to buy the Master tapes of the first Crows album.
Also have some local radio tapes of the second incarnation of CROWS when Jon Burge was replaced by Dave Bordewey, that have never seen the light of day.
ERIC (me, Colin Thompson, and the late Nigel Chippindale)was a charity project after Nigel died. And then a few years ago, I found a tape of a few more tracks. Which I have no idea when or where they were recorded!
HACKNEY MARTIANS, (me, Alan Lamb, Chris Pitt, Gavin Atkin) is probably the most bizarre project I have ever been involved with! Again, it was released only on cassette.
I could use the word eclectic, but it's too posh a word!
Multiple overdubs by bouncing from one tape to another, sound effects a plenty (think crap Spike Jones) and a rare example of the "Tenoroon" (lika "Bassoon" but smaller!)
Even mating tortoises....No, I don't know why either!
