It
is over twenty years since this improvised music - presented
here for the first time - was put to tape.
It's the record of two early
days in the life of our group.
We
had recorded one of our private sessions at Nunhead Church Hall straight
to cassette.
Paul Carmichael suggested next time we go direct to 1/4"
tape, at Woodcray Farm, a studio where an engineer friend
of his worked.
At Woodcray we
set up quickly and didn't play for long, but what we played is what you hear ... unedited ... as the first four tracks
of this CD.
We're still very proud of it.
Since
those days the original 1/4" went missing, but we were able to remaster from a good copy.
The
other tracks are taken from the Church Hall session that
predated Woodcray by a couple of months, in which there are just a few minor cuts.
These
things hold a special place for us, when as young musicians
we played ...
... catching the ball, and running with it.
