This features Lol on vocals and a very basic drum machine. Lol was very nervous about singing it.. we both sang our parts at the same time, into one mic (I think I'd seen the Beatles do it so decided it must be a good idea) Myself and Lol on guitars.

was recorded in one take, which was lucky because just as we finished the tape ran off the spool.

features Josie on percussion and David on bass drum and High hat. Lol and myself guitars, Marcus bass (if you listen very carefully on this track you can hear the studio phone ringing). We had finished the 4 songs planned for the session but there was still (only just) enough tape left for one more song... perhaps we could try a song none of us knew...
