# Erm ... Ahem.
Well - I haven't listened to it for about 10 years, but I seem to remember backing up New Model Army with the Bangles, and Lyle Lovett to Tom Petty.

It also has a 'mix' section at the end, where, sans decks, I recorded, then painstakingly rewound to the cut, snippets of songs, including the lyric from St Elmo's Fire 'You broke the boy in me, BUT YOU WON'T BREAK THE MAN!'

# Not bad!
I found one the other week I'd called "The best Welsh album in the world...ever!" One side it was a selection of Catatonia, the other side Stereophonics.

# I was a purist back then. If you're going to do a mix tape, you couldn't even repeat a band
Let alone have a whole album, unless you were going to call it "Catatonia - XXXX/Stereophonics - XXXXX".

Purist, I tell you. Not a precocious little shit at all, no.

# We had an album recorded by a bassist from NMA*
Very nice chap, we heard he was working at out school as part of a sentence...

* I heard they've had a few.

# Yeah I'm trying to think: Moose, Morrow, Nelson, the chap they've got now.
The bass sound has always maintained the right feel, though. But yeah - I'd not thought of it like that.

I do remember a drummer friend pointing out that Smalltown England is a jazz beat, though.

# Dave Blomberg.
Don't know how long he was with them, but he did a rather nice job of recording us lot. Made us sound better than we were.
