Unreleased
material from Blodwyn Pig. It’s the kind of thing that keeps grown men awake at
night. And not in a good way.
Of
course you’ll be hard pushed to work out where, when and what these recordings
consist of, as there is nothing in the booklet to tell you. No dates, lineups,
nothing. And my copy is missing track nine all together, so no ‘Hound Dog’ for
me. I’m lucky as I have a press release, so I can tell you that seven of the
twelve tracks have date unknown beside them, so even Mick Abrahams doesn’t know.
However, the tracks that have been identified are all between 1969 and 1973,
with a couple of BBC Sessions alongside live numbers from the Marquee and Luton
Town Hall!
There
are alternate versions of two tracks from their 1969 debut in the shape of ‘Dear
Jill’ and ‘The Change Song’ plus an outtake ‘It’s Only Love’, and ‘Drive Me’ and
‘See My Way’ from the 1970 follow-up “Getting To This”. I suspect that this is
pretty much the same package as issued by Mick Abrahams on his website back in
the mid-noughties, but it’s still good to hear non-album tracks like ‘Baby Girl’
and ‘Same Old Story’, although those have been out before as well.
It
would have been nice to have had more details about who was on what and when,
but this isn’t really aimed at a new audience. Blodwyn Piglets will just be glad
its out there.
