En Masse
Consisting of the bandâs first self-release tape (only a limited amount were made) and the first âproperâ release, a 4-track EP originally on the Dining Out label. Neither had a title for some reason. This does. En Masse is the name of an early track that was never recorded (for legal reasons). (Itâs about fishing/not fishing). The tape has 9 tracks covering politics â I Think About It/50 Yard Dash/Anti-CWOF (we still are), emotions â Harmonics of Passion/Johnny on the Pathetic (this IS a love song) and, of course, nonsense â Double âAâ Initials/MVOB2, leaving Gatenby (âbaby, itâs just instrumentalâ) and 19 seconds of Egypt (âwe did all we could within the constraints of time and moneyâ).
The EP was far âlooserâ, partly improvised, with the addition of some trumpet and saxophone. Only 3 tracks were recorded, I Canât Remember being a dub version of For the Life of Me â another sort of love/life song as is J. Have, plus another instrumental, Thirty Purple Birds, whose title came from a nonsense poem byâŠ.I canât remember. Both were recorded at a local (Portsmouth-ish) studio called Toucan in 1981.
âPompey punk/funk/what? for less than the price of a lotâ. Should not be lost to the world.
