Memory Tapes returns! Glastonbury's all very well and good but it does get in the way somewhat...
Anyway, back to normal, and this week's memory tape comes from Sarah Beatrice, who writes...
"Here is one of a few tapes I was givien back in the early nineties from the late, great Wilf - a man whose wonderfully psychedelic, hippy, garage-influenced, anarchic presence so helped me and many other "yoof" of the time cope with being stuck in Yeovil, Somerset (a place that even PJ Harvey having been at our college couldn't make cool!).
"Wilf made the most brilliant mix tapes and introduced me to so many sounds - from Viriginia Astley to My Bloody Valentine, The Electric Prunes and very wibbly recordings of The Byrds (Hey Mr Tangerine Flake?)...
"So here's my submission, in honour of the much missed Wilf, the only mix tape of his that I haven't lost!"
Here is Wilf's artwork:
And here's the tracklisings...
Side 1
Orbital - Halcyon
The Popinjays - Monster Mouth
The Tony Head Experience - Debbie 1
The Sundays - Wild Horses
One Dove - Fallen
The Adult Net - Eddie
The Cranberries - Dream
Suzanne Vega - 99.9f
The Cranberries - What you wore
10,000 Maniacs - Circle Dream
10,000 Maniacs - These are the Days
(something illegible) - you never never know - any suggestions?
Honey Bane - Boring Conversations
Honey Bane - Porno Grows
And The Native Hipsters - There Goes Concord Again
Side 2
The Porcupine Tree - Voyage 34
The Sundays Blind (a selection): I feel, Goodbye, Life & Soul, More on Earth, God Made Me, 24 Hours, Blood On My Hands, Medicine.
Bow Wow Wow - Go Wild in the Country
Bow Wow Wow - TV Savage
I think he got a bit bored - or carried away - on side 2 and just let the Sundays run, so I guess it might not totally qualify as a mix tape, but you've got to agree, side 1 is pretty blurry brilliant!"
Tune in on Friday to see which tracks get selected.
