The fan-circulated summer and autumn collections were really a cobbled together mixture. Some tracks were unfinished and may have been intended as b-sides for shelved EPs (Twice). I think Cutwater was also on there which was on the free 7" given out with Need For Not. Also some of the tracks m...

It wasn't the new remasters I heard.

I know the original recordings have been floating around the internet for a good while but I've never managed to find them until recently.

Yeah, the EP sounded lovely. Hoping for more of the same.

I finally got to hear the Terry Bickers version of "Meanwhile Gardens" last week and it is absolutely bloody brilliant. Can't believe those recordings haven't seen the light of day before, and it seems a real shame they disintegrated the way they did. They sound like a band at the height o...

natty

they're not particularly loud now. I think most bands tend to tone that down as they get older (extreme volume can be considered a gimmick)- MBV, Mogwai etc MBV hadn't toned it down at all when I saw them in 2008. My ears rang for days. I don't remember Ride being that exceptionally loud back when....

I want the Levitation 12" if I can get my hands one one. There are only 500 though. Tried in Preston for this one, around 10am.Queued for 20 mins or so, but no joy... Yeah, I never got one either. Nowhere local to me had one, even though I asked them ages ago. They basically told me to "f...

The vinyl looks like Spectrum's "True Love Will Find You in the End" 12".

natty

That Drive Blind sounds bloody ferocious. Saw them quite a few times back when but I wish I was going to see them now. Just can't afford a trip to London. Hopefully they'll do a full tour and come somewhere a bit nearer the South West.

I had exactly the same thought. Definitely channeling their inner Dylan Carlson there.

Sounding pretty fucking good actually.

Wish I could afford to go one of these gigs.

Yep, Bickers versions, as they will be on the Meanwhile Gardens LP release too

Don't think I could ever buy any of the 'For All The F***** Up.. shirts. (I also know that there are some reprints of these in a variety of colours, with the Spacemen 3 triangle on the front). I'd just be really concerned about offending anyone! Maybe I'm a wuss, but just wouldn't feel comfortable!...

Nice find. Thanks, Evan.

This is brilliant. What a find. That's the stuff.

Wish PK would do another run of the original "For All The Fucked Up..." Shirts.

Hi all, OK, there's one that' s bugging me. It claims to be from 04-10-1986 at the Astoria (RIP) in London. Tracklist is as follows: Things'll Never Be The Same Mary Anne O. D. Catastrophe But this date doesn't appear on either of the gig lists and the Astoria seems to big a venue for them unless th...

I missed out on tickets as I was in hospital with my wife who was giving birth to our second child, a little boy.

My ex-missus is pretty friendly with Mark so am hoping she'll do the right thing and get my name on the guest list for one of them.

Cheers, that helped me sort out a few things and weed out a couple of duplicates.

natty

I seem to be having trouble accessing Ian's site. Anyone know if it's still up?

Or does anyone know if there's a SP3 gig list up anywhere else? I want to check a few things with my collection of bootlegs.

It's on, I tell ya. Andy and Mark buried any hatched a long time ago. No reason not to now, really.

They were fucking brill live, too.

Got "Soused" today. Really, really enjoying it.

Sunn O))) have come a long way from the Earth tribute act they started out as. They're so good at generating atmosphere these days. Still heavy as plutonium, mind.

According to David Icke, these are ten things that will happen if Scotland votes for yes.

The new Earth record. It FUCKING ROCKS. Imagine combining the early '90's Earth with the kind of stuff they were doing on Hibernaculum and The Bees Made Honey in the Lion's Skull and you're not far off. Guest vocals from Mark Lanegan and others. I'm two tracks in and absolutely LOVING it. Dylan Carl...

that live footage is gorgeous. when they do the loud bits it sounds properly big! shame it's not the whole set. Wow! I've only ever seen them in tiny little places. They sound absolutely immense in that video. The version of Syd's "Golden Hair" is phenomenal, Rachel absolutely nails the v...

natty

I never realised they were different from the LP versions. How so?

natty

Glad I went to the Hoxton show now.

No way in hell I'd have made those Christmas shows with a baby due on November 27th.

natty

Nice record, but they could at least try to be more than the sum of their influences, couldn't they?

natty

That Peel session is one of my favourite things they ever recorded.

The horns on "Angel Sigh", just the whole "Feel So Sad", and the swell of guitar at the beginning and freakout at the end of "Smiles" are absolutlely brilliant.

natty

That looks cool, but I'm pretty sure Spacemen 3 were as much of an influence on those bands as JAMC, MBV, Cocteau Twins and The Cure?

Play the 13 minute version of Feel So Sad. Best thing they ever recorded. And it'll take up almost 1/8 of your show.

Most amazing revelation for me - if I have read this bit right - is that Pete has the master tapes for The Perfect Presciption, which I thought were lost.

The article left me with a few questions. In similar retrospective pieces writers often describe the reception the record received at the time. I can't remember the reviews. What were they like?

Great stuff, Mark. That's such an underrated record. It's my favourite album by either of them post SP3 I think, although LGM and Pure Phase both run it close. Amazed it's never had a reissue. Love the bit about the keyboard on "Lord I Don't Even.." being a sample of a wind tube. That's ge...

The original vinyl was crap, a very quiet pressing indeed.
