(all thanks to David Whittaker for
this one)
These are very early live recordings of the two bands from just before
they came down to Sydney and made our days. The performances are variable
and the cassette recordings were weird and, in most cases, beyond my
engineering skills. But there's an obvious love of playing throughout. Pel
Mel are a bit more party time, playing lots of covers and with Judy
singing not a note. And the addition of the other sax player makes the
sound quite different to what we experienced in Darlinghurst and Surry
Hills. The Limp are much more anarchic and noisy than they were later.
Judy sings for this band and sound just like Poly Styrene. The obvious UK
punk scouse vowels abound. The 2nd Pel Mel performance is harsh and fuzzed
up. Great stuff all round.
