DONT TELL ME MAM Bogsnorkeller
LINE UP
A couple of snippets of tunes from the Album Recorded in 1997 in sunny Teesside.
It took an Age to record as Steve was being to prissy about his guitar tone. By all accounts the whole thing took about six months a bit of a change from the last record that was done in a few hours. The bonus was they got the studio time for free as it was done at a studio where Steve was doing a bit of work. In reflections it is a bit. well allot over produced. Still some good tunes though.

TALK SHOW/JERRY SPRINGER.
Recorded in a couple of hours by Mike Frankland at Castlegate Studios. This session ended up being abit wobbly if info is correct the band then did a gig on the night with Grillo and P.I.G. at some ropey working mans club in Skern Park Darlington UK. A very wobbly affair.
*************
TESSIDERS.
Bugsy had the idea for the lyrics for a while, but what with the mighty Boro getting to a European cup final time for a release and a huge big chunk of the proceeds were donated to "Make a child smile" a local charity supported by Boro FC chairman Steve Gibson.

BALL TO CHRISTMAS
Spur of the moment Bugsy and Steve come up with the idea of a Christmas song. They then had the bright idea lets do it in a week. Bugsy wrote a hook, Steve wrote the music, Bugsy writes all the words Steve finishes the song of with a bit of production help from Shaun Macphisto. All done in 5 days and over a hundred copies sold over the festering season.
24 HOURS FROM ULCERS
Recorded at the studio in Hartlepool UK. Good gig was a pain to get the finished thing out though. What with Steve farting about with it and stuff. No overdubs apart from backing vox on "Do What You Like" and some bits cut out or tidied up other than that its all live.
