Cable Rarities
Pete Cable:
This is insane... you talk about titles that are little more than a vague memory to me...
I don't remember us calling anything 'Tarzan'... but I suppose we must have. I think the stuff you're all referring to as 'the final recordings' are b-sides we intended to use that we did at Andy Sneap's place. He recorded Dinky and the other b-sides from that period. We also did a recording with him that was totally live and was meant for use in radio interviews as 'exclusive session tracks' - the idea was that we would tour regional radio stations, the local indie show person would interview us and then claim we were going to play live for them in the studio (all very underhand, this showbiz lark) and they'd actually play the tape. This session is where the 'From Here' version of Oubliette comes from.
What I really can't believe is that you have material like 'Afterthought' - how do you lot find this stuff? Songs that never left the practise room! (The 'placeholder' lyrics are 'piece of wood, piece of wood, piece of wood, piece of wood, sellotape')
I'd forgotten that Oubliette was once called 'Alice' and I'm glad it looks like no-one has a copy of 'mouse with wings man'. ;)
I would really love a copy of the Oxford point show with Old Peely on - would someone be happy to do me one? I have to have the intro bit, where he says 'with their hearts on their sleeves and their eyes on the stars, it's cable!'
I miss him dearly... :'(
FireSka:
hmm , what is "Afterthought"?
Tarzan goes something like "It's easier to see, ? more to me than great. Insecurity is easier to me. A frozen vegetable. ? long distance call. Eternally preserved. Impossible to see. I cannot replace a seven legged sack race. No one wants their future pressed against a clock face. I love Januaray", etc...
Is that one not called Tarzan?
Would you have any idea what the untitled instrumental is called Pete? It's 5:20 and resembles Brothers And Sisters a little. Maybe I should post some samples...
Pete Cable:
It would be good if you could post some samples. It might help jog the old grey cells... some of those words vaguely mean something to me - though i'm baffled by the title - usually songs had working titles that referred to the way they sounded, e.g. tribal probably had some floor tom based drum pattern. Sometimes songs that you know now were actually 2 seperate songs that we suddenly discovered went together well and we made one decent one out of 2 not so brilliant ideas. Afterthought was like a throwaway intro piece, about 2 min long - I don't think even Cooper got to play it - it had a great riff but never developed past being a bit of throw away warm up material. It was way cool though and I've often thought of nicking that and extra limbs while no-ones looking... ;D
Rick Wakeman:
Hey, Fireska, any chance you could upload them to http://bombsite.org/bs/share.php?directory=CABLE so we can all have a listen? :)

Pete, maybe you can confirm the titles? Can you or anyone else post any other demos?? I'd love to hear those other ones metioned :)
If you lack webspace you can e-mail them to me at xfireskax at gmail.com and I'll upload them to that folder. I have unlimited webspace. Or just upload them to www.sendspace.com and post the links!
