We recorded every rehearsal at the DadaCravatsLaboratory back in the day and amassed nearly 450 cassette tapes.

They have sat in boxes in Shend's vault for decades until our great chum Dale Jowett digitised them for us.

Amongst the endless hours of recordings are many gems that have never seen the light of day. In fact only 5 people have ever heard them and it seemed a good time to select a few belters and let you hear them. This is Volume One. Volume Two and Three are also listed today.

All recordings feature Rob Dallaway, The Shend, Svor Naan and Dave Bennett plus dear chum, the enigmatic Chewy Parf pops up singering on ‘Goat Plinth’..

The sound quality is sometimes somewhat suspect but it's the atmosphere of those heady days of fun that are embodied in these snippets of sound.

They are experiments and experimenting is what we did.

We hope you enjoy this third journey back in time.

We did.

Thank you.

Rob, Svor and Shend x

Formed in Redditch, Worcestershire in 1977 . . . Bah, the band's history is well documented elsewhere on the internet if you want to know more . . . we're still here.
