Been digging in the crates lately & listening to the old stuff lately & a
few Qs popped up.
If Newbuild is State002, Let Yourself Go is State003, & Quadrastate is
State004 (all Creed cat.#s), was there a State001? There's no evidence of
it in the discographies I've found.
Has anyone ever heard (or better yet, gotten their hands on) any of the
following?:
The last 2 Biting Tongues 12"s - Evening State & Love Out
Manchester Hit Squad - Wax On The Melt 12"
Switzerland - Inflight EP
The dates on the Biting Tongues 12"s overlap w/ 808State, & I've heard that
they were mostly Graham Massey (the title Evening State is a massive clue),
and that Love Out was very Quadrastatish. If someone has these, please let
me know.
M/cr Hit Squad had MCTunes on it, but how many tracks?
How much like Ex:El is Switzerland?
Does anyone know when the Lounge Jays 12" came out? It's not in the discog,
and the sleeve has no date. Stylistically it sounds like Newbuild. The
sleeve says:
LOUNGE JAYS
Sex Mechanic/Message-A-Rama
PRODUCED BY
808 STATE
FEATURING A GUY CALLED GERALD
SIDE AA/A 12" 33 PRE-RELEASE EMS002T
AN ANTI SMILEY CAMPAIGN
MADE IN
THE NORTH OF ENGLAND
Finally, what was the deal w/ Simpson & Price leaving? I've never read
anything written about it, but based on AGCG's "Specific Hate", I'd say
there was some acrimony surrounding his departure...
