Mclusky

A favourite band of the show, which Adam played at least 85 times over the years!
This session was also repeated in full in June 2005 and tracks were repeatedly aired during shows.

Tracks : Lightsabre Cocksucking Blues / Friends Stoning Friends / Join The Mevolution / What We’ve Learned

Andrew Bird

This session is of particular interest as 6 songs were aired during the show, most sessions are 3 tracks long. It may have been that Andrew was in the studio, or that Adam was also featuring a new release as well as the session. More info req’d.

Tracks: Two-Way Action / Headsoak / Core And Rind / Too Long / Fatal Flower Garden / Two Way Action (again)

Mooi

Tracks: Outside / Creeping / Womb Song

This session version of Womb Song was aired again a month later and 6 months on, and Creeping was unearthed again by Adam some 6 years later.

Loving Cup

This was the first of 2 sessions by the Deeside alt-country band, which is pretty rare as bands rarely get invited for a second session (Loving Cup’s were 5 years apart), mainly because the bands split up.

Tracks : Just Move On / Been Away Too Long / Where I Wanna Be

Liberty 37

Was this the first Musical Mystery Tour session?

Tracks ; Broadside / Head of David / All of Myself / Father Forgive Me

Crud Cast 3

(BT Call)
FLINCH – Lucky
CARPET – One Two Fuck You (live)
HYFRYD
SKINFLICK – Two Ton Loser
HOBO – Trencherman

The BT Call is still a favourite clip, a genuine recording of some chimp at BT phoning a very angry Geordie bloke who threatens to sing the caller’s ’scrawny fucking neck’ – absolute classic.

Flinch were from Wrexham, the track Lucky is prob their best.
The Carpet track was a live recording from The Breeding Ground in Rhyl

There was a Show 2, but I don’t know what happened to it – whether it was ever broadcast or what?

I must’ve been a bit short on music to open with 4Q’s Imagine again…
