Near The Coast

You'll be alright there lad - Lee is a top bloke. We had a really enjoyable time there.

Sorry, but Shang-a-lang is still favourite for me - just heard Suspicious Minds and it's an Ok cover and well performed, but could have done with more drive for my liking.

Overall, a good set of recordings though - well done guys.

For me, the most enjoyable O's recording so far - I listened to it at full blast on my way home from work, and joined in with the chorus too!!

For the record, the one I least enjoyed so far was Basket case - sorry guys. Maybe its best heard live and direct.

The bass was certainly too low and I'd say the vocals (no disrespect) were over prominent - otherwise a good listen overall. Tip for iPlayer listeners - select BBC introducing and then when it starts to play the stream hit the 15mins forward button, which cues you up almost exactly to the start of t...

Lol

I shall certainly have a listen but don't guarantee i'll have time to do another sound clip tonight.

Anyway I can't get those ruddy La, La, La, La, La's out of my head from last night yet!!

The recording was of the stereo mix on my PC - there may have been a bandwidth restriction at the time hence the poorish sound. I may have another go at that when its quieter.

I was listening on-line and was able to simultaneously record via another natty piece of software - Audacity. Its great and a free download.

See also 'What's on' - there's a soundclip of someone else familiar in there tonight too !

I'm listening..... ain't heard it yet.

Nice - I'll try and have a listen. Bet Amanda's already got a chrome C60 cassette in her home hi-fi all ready and cued up to record it (can you still get c90 cassettes?).

Did Foz give you guys a copy of the recordings on CD, by the way?

So did they record the instruments first, then the vocals? Or was it a completely live mix?

Bet that guy's a real hoot when he goes through airport security!!

As good as the Steptoe & Son one, do you think? That was great!

'Ere - didn't u guys gig last night, SM? I was expecting to see a write-up here this morning. How did it go?

You tell him, A!!!
