Memory Tapes: 8th July 2011

Today's eclectic selection comes courtesy of Charlie Ivens who tells us the story behind the tape in his own words.

Charlie Ivens 'We're All Guilty' mix tape.

"I used to tape a lot off Peelie and Gary Crowley on GLR, which is why you can hear snippets of their voices before and after some tracks. We used to listen to this tape on the way to rehearsals for our school band, which is why two of our songs ended up on here too (I'd re-edit tapes when I got bored of certain songs).

There are a load of classics on here - the Weddoes, Huggy Bear, 'Weirdo', Ozrics' 'Sploosh', which still sounds amazing - but if you were to play any one song I'd love it to be E-Zee Possee's 'Breathing Is E-Zee', a weird slinky post-acid house pop tune from Boy George's More Protein stable, featuring Joan Collins' daughter on vocals! It also samples a teeny snippet from Prince's 'Hot Thing', which is awesome in itself.
