ROB SEZ: A huge thank-you goes to dB's Fan for the original share. The oldest of these are the final two Alex
Chilton tracks, accompanied by Chris and the rest of The Cossacks, probably 1977. “Tennis
Bum” is a better-known track from Peter’s Memphis sessions, recorded some time in 1978 at Sam Phillips’ studio with Richard Rosebrough. Most of the other
Peter tracks are thought to be from these sessions except for the 3 marked “ * ”.
Those are said to be from a later session in 1979 at Mitch Easter’s Drive-In
Studio in Winston-Salem, NC. Chris’ demos are dated 1982, but there’s no other
info. I can't imagine the Repercussion songs would have been demo’d in 1982 since the album was recorded in 1981. But I’m just passing on the info
I was given...

Whaddya mean, "No, I just haven't got around to buying that one yet"?!?
You've got to fix that RIGHT NOW:
Intriguing, can't wait to hear, thanks Rob
ReplyDeleteHere's an example of how much I enjoy this site. We aren't supposed to use work computers for non-work related things. In fear that something might happen (download gets pulled, blog spot goes through maintenance etc...) I make a point of visiting here on Friday (during work hours) and downloading the latest entry. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteZach & Warren - Thanks for your comments. Don't worry overly much about this material disappearing for good. I'm pretty anal about doing backups, and I intentionally use two different file servers for the downloads. That way, if one goes away, chances are the other will still be around. Unlike some other bloggers, I do not delete my files after I post 'em...
DeleteI dunno how I missed this one, having been here a dozen times, but it's a great joy to find, with the A House Is Not A Home demo a particular beauty. Thanks for keeping the links up or I'd have been sunk. Speaking of which, might a Sound Of Music demo called Pushing It Back be lurking here somewhere? It was on a compilation of demos and such on another site that I was too late to grab. Since I hold that LP in very very high regard, I can't help but wonder... Thanks again!
ReplyDeletecan help you out on 'Pushing', Reservatory, think the comp you mean was assembled by me

DeleteI think the links are still good for Fantom's comp, posted at Popfair. It includes the "Pushin' It Back" demo.
