RADIO BROADCAST #876
01-16–26
Fanatic! Finally, it can be told. Several weeks ago, our good pal and sonic ally, not to mention one of my heroes for decades, the one and only Gaye Advert wrote to tell me she had found an Adverts tape on her shelf but she didn’t know what was on it. She asked if I was interested in checking it out, to which, of course I replied in the Fanatic affirmative.
Days later, the tape arrived. I took it to Infrasonic Sound. The great Pete Lyman carefully baked and transferred the tracks. Luckily, the tape was in pristine condition and contained two classic Adverts songs: We Who Wait and New Boys. They were produced by Larry Wallis, he of Pink Fairies fame, at Pathway Studios in London on March 20, 1977. As you might know, both of these songs eventually found themselves on proper Adverts releases, but not these versions. As far as we know, they have never been released until now. Pete sent the transferred tracks to both myself and Ian MacKaye. I sent them to Larry Hardy at In The Red Records and Gaye. Everyone thought they sounded great. I came up with sleeve and label ideas and sent all the information to our excellent layout person, Jon Krop. He got to work. Pete mastered the tracks and days later, everything was sent to the pressing plant. Weeks after that, test pressings came back. Ian, Larry and I all thought the tracks sounded excellent. We put in the order and became we who wait. Hey now! We got happy news yesterday that the records have arrived and are ready for mail order.
Fanatic, I’ve been on the treadmill with the tracks from tonight’s show for a few days now and I think it is a very cool gathering of tunes. Engineer X, Engineer Am-Rock and I have almost finished work on next week’s show and we think you’re going to like it.
Until next week, have a great weekend and STAY FANATIC!!!
