There were probably also holes in shoes, making for wet socks and soggulated feet, as there always were in those days. He had already broken one earlier, before the tape began rolling, hence his comment “I’ve done it again!” at the end.Īpparently there was some sort of difficulty with amplifiers not working that Mark mentioned, probably a guitar amp and possibly a PA as well.

Towards the end of this song Mark breaks another string. The last song is Knock Knock Knocking, which is in an open E tuning. After that comes Jackson, in standard tuning again. The third song on the cassette is Party Man, which is in drop-D tuning, still referred to as “Drower tuning” by some of the Wud personnel. Before the song starts, Jon suggests playing Knock Knock Knocking, but Mark answers that the guitar isn’t in the right tuning for that one. Next up was Room 101, a song in standard tuning, which was unusual for Mark. Sarah only really stuck her head round the door, Lucy stayed for a while before the others arrived. Pok had not arrived yet and the girls had both left (separately) by this time.
#TINYKEEP KNOCK KNOCK FREE#
Pete was no doubt providing rollies for everyone. With nothing but a flickering lantern and a strange letter left behind by their in-mate, they must venture into the darkness and escape TinyKeep Lure monsters into traps, knock over fire torches to set the dungeon alight and set prisoners free to help you on your way. On the cassette, How Can You Say was first, and Mark’s gigglings and things were happening whilst Jon was fixing his drums and George was sorting out his guitar leads and so on. We arranged the songs in this particular order as we feel this was the order in which they would have been played during the production of the play. As you can hear, the pentatonic scale was still a vague concept for him. George had not heard them previously and these were his very first attempts at playing lead guitar, having previously only played rhythm in Achilles Heel and Fooog Dinboffin and the Release. Jon had played these songs at least once before as he seemed to know their names. Mark could not hear himself very well due to the volume of the drums and electric guitar. Mark sat very close to the mic to sing and play, Jon and George were set up further away.

As it happened, it didn’t.Ī stereo mic was used to record onto cassette. These songs would have been from that production, had it taken place. The band were planning to perform a few songs for a stage version of Orwell’s 1984. It was recorded in the (then) new music rooms at The King’s School, Ottery St Mary, in late September 1982.

Inauguration is the very first time that Now assembled to play some music. Copyright ℗ 1982 MGD Music/Explicit Music.
