It's a pairing I cannot imagine going well.

The first track sounded like a TG moment, only they would have known better to have not bothered not to put it on a record and just put a 10 second highlight on the end of a track.

Is it "Maggot Death" Live in Brighton?

Where the DJ berates the audience, calling them "a bunch of f*cking teds".

Yeah we know. It went on for 10 seconds not kicking off their debut album for 17 minutes when the backing band play bad hawkwind for musical accompany.

Is that Vibing Up the Senile Man?

This one is much better.

Track 6 - Viva La Rock n' Roll.

Oh, I only just noticed that Alex Fergusson co-wrote the first two songs and that "Why Don't You Do Me Right?" was by Zappa. doh

Jools Holland piano intro.

I always remember quite liking this one.

by Nightjar Wed Dec 28, 2022 7:24 pm

It's got strings on it I think.

Jim Morrison reference. Possibly.

I've never quite worked out whether he's taking the wee-wee out of Paris or whether he'd been recently and was genuinely impressed by its cultural vibrancy.
