I'm fairly certain that the Newcastle show was a very early performance by
the band. There's very little singing and, instead, there's lots of
sub-Terry Riley synths and guitars - great stuff all round. The tracks
from the SideFX
show are the only ones that sounded anywhere near respectable.
The Pel Mel LP is a weird thing overall - the quirky, colourful cover with
Monkees-like poses of the band members on the back gives no real idea of
the angst ridden lyrical bent (mainly to do with writers block). This was
recorded at the stage when they picked up wholeheartedly on funk
(like many of the bands did at that time). Too bad none of us were very
funky. A couple of great songs, though.
