Spike: 'I think the only recording with Alison (on backing vocals!!!?) is an extremely poor live recording. There's a live radio performance from Geneva with Phil and Drew. I think John Henderson has digital recordings but maybe be Debbie also has something." Deborah had no live recordings but did remember a (primitive) studio recording with Alison Statton. It was the song "Rebirth" and this song appeared on the compilation cassette "Enter the Dragon" in 1983. A sampler with the Gist, Reptile Ranch (Spike Williams). The Good Gazelles (Duncan Smith with Andrew Moxham).
"There was a collaborative culture going on among the musicians in Cardiff in 1983".(Duncan Smith)
Deborah:"I wrote that Alison and i sing on together on Enter the Dragon. A rare all Cardiff, compilation cassette album made in early 80 s. The song i was referring too seems somewhat out dated now... a feminist song about 'each man hold a baby' ... 'our lives are important' that sort of thing"
"If you've listen you will know that it was recorded in a living on
quarter inch tape i seem to remember. Before 4 tracks. We had to bounce
on 2 track or perhaps Alison and i and poss Sian from the Burpas an
art school band sang together on 1 track."
Rebirth
was recorded by Spike. I asked Spike if he remembered the recording:

Thanks to Duncan S. Smith I also got the first three songs from this 'Enter the Dragon' cassette. Two songs by The Good Gazelles (that's Andrew Moxham & Duncan S. Smith) and one song by The Gist (Stuart Moxham). |
