Slowdive - 5 EP

SLOWDIVE
5 EP
1993 Creation Records

Notes :
The most electronic Slowdive ever got. The burgeoning ambient techno scene in 1993 was too much for them to resist, and made them one of the most experimental of the 'shoegazer' bands from England. Released with the equally amazing remix EP featuring the now classic chillout retake by Tom Middleton & Mark Pritchard. Absolutely essential.

The Fall - Telephone Thing

THE FALL
Telephone Thing
1990 Cog Sinister

Telephone Thing was lead off single from 1990 album ''Extricate'' and could have been seen as a nod to the Madchester scene of the time as the sound is quite similar to the dance-influenced music that was being released by Happy Mondays and The Stone Roses. Produced and remixed by Coldcut, great stuff.

Wild About Nothing - Wide (White Label Promo)

WILD ABOUT NOTHING
WIDE
1991 Not On Label

Notes :
Wild About Nothing were a baggy-sounding indie band from Waterloo in South London around 1991. A four-piece band, they featured Scott (vocals and guitar), Andy (bass and backing vocals), Nick (drums and backing vocals) and Andy (guitar).
They only released one record, a one-sided 12'' of their song - Wide. Also they did interview for The Marmite Roll fanzine in 1991. It's really hard to find any info on the net so i've asked fanzine owner to tell me more about this obscure baggy band :

''They were a nice bunch of lads, quite lary and loud though. I remember they liked Flowered Up, which I think Wide is not too far from. Never saw them play live, but I remember that I interviewed them in their local pub, The Shipwright Arms, in Tooley St, London Bridge. The white label record came in a plain white sleeve, but it did have a corner sticker on it, which said something like 'Wild About Nothing, live in '91'. It wasn't on a label as such as it was self-produced ''

Really great song, if you are fan of early 90's indie & baggy music, must have this record in your collection.

Ambitious Beggars - Beg EP

AMBITIOUS BEGGARS
Beg EP (Unreleased Single)
1990 Not On Label

Ambitious Beggars started out in the early '80's in Manchester. The band were originally called Ignition & were fronted by John Bramwell, who went on to be a minor legend on the Manchester scene calling himself Johnny Dangerously. He later re-emerged as the critically acclaimed & fairly successful I Am Kloot. They signed to Ugly Man Records in 1989, Bob Kemp took over the lead role in the band and they released their first single, ska influenced "Man In A Suit"/"The Shadow". Next came the "Welcome" EP. The next thing you know the whole Madchester scene is in full flow & record companies are flocking north to find the next Stone Roses. This was the opportunity they'd been waiting for, but somehow despite a large Manchester following & a well received national tour supporting James, they remained unsigned.

''Beg EP'' is madchester influenced single, real shame it was never officially released, all tracks are great, especially my favourites from this band - ''Tambourine'' and "Fear".
