#98 ... it's alright now...

Absolute clear as day memory as though it's happening now...1990, being in The Chinese Laundry at 5am one morning listening to ( and watching ) Sugar Ray play "It's Alright" by The Beloved as the last song in his set and giving him a smile and a nod of appreciation, him giving me a knowing wink back...

It's back to the 7's again today, also providing a PDF of tracklists of this blog, up to date with this one, designed to download and view as a pdf on your pod/pad/mobile/listening device...will update list with new pdf each post from now on. A big thanks to "Andrew of Hunter's Hill" who entered most of the data in a spreadsheet for me one weekend, making this new pdf possible.

Tracks are mostly kinda self explanatory, 'cept The Reels is actually a b-side, we had the a-side Prefab Hearts back on #79, "Spot The Ridge" being the b-side of the UK release of this song ( different b-side in Australia ).

The Strawberry Story Story is the "AA" side to "All For You", also it's kinda raw ( almost a demo ) compared to their later stuff. Thinking Of Julie no relation to "Operation Julie" by Drug Squad ( thank goodness )

Enjoy :)

#97, more Rescued 12's

See #83 for an explanation of the "Rescued 12's", a sub-series going on here that I get lots of emails about continuing.

The 7's are nowhere near finished by the way, more to come, but for right now enjoy this little diversion ( same concept as the 7's, just a different pile that's all !! )

UPDATE : The Wise Acres have apparentely reformed ( wow, excellent ) - see Comments :)
