The Ones That Got Away:

Ginger- “G*A*S*S was an exclusive fan-club that I set up as a year long project thatpromised three brand new songs a month. An album, Year Of The Fan Club,was released with my own favourites cherry picked from the years worth ofsongs.

Outof 36 songs, however, there were always going to be fan favourites thatstylistically didn't fit on the album, but were undoubtedly popular enough torelease on their own merit. So here it is, the songs voted by the fans,together on this highly collectible piece of limited edition vinyl. When I wasa kid fan clubs fascinated me, and limited edition vinyl was like porn.

Please,then, enjoy a bit of both on thissoon-to-be-available-on-eBay-only-and-sold-for-a-fucking-fortune item while youcan.

Infact buy two, and sell the other when the market price goes up. Once this one'sgone it's gone.”

FRIENDSOF BILL:

Writtenand recorded in Los Angeles, a place where the spirit of Rock n Roll haslessened in proportion to the rise of sobriety. It's like a fucking epidemicout there, sober people playing music with sober people while bemoaning thelack of action on the strip compared to yesteryear...when everyone was threesheets to the wind, presumably. Drinkers are usually politely shunned fromassociation with the AA brigade, the hypocrisy of which, I'm sure, is not loston the sober mafia of famous rock stars who simply made too much money, had toomany choices and picked all the wrong ones. Anyway, I'm happy to say thatnot everyone in LA are sobriety addicts, including the four musicians whoplayed on this song. And the engineer. And all the friends that hung out at thestudio and partied 'til dawn.

BLOODYKNEES:

Thevery first song recorded for the G*A*S*S sessions. And as I drove toAtherstone, towards Majestic Splendour, Jase Edwards studio, I'd be lying if Isaid I wasn't unusually nervous. There would be many songs recorded over thisinsanely busy year, but only one song was going to kick it all off, and thissong would either set a high bench mark or put us all in a perilous state ofdoubt. Plus I was playing all the instruments in this session (although JonPoole would later offer some incredible musical input), so the stakes werehigh.

Ofcourse Jase and I have worked together on many albums, and the session wentlike a dream, with the amazing Givvi Flynn entertaining us all with an army ofvoices. While a great song it itself, I will always be most fond of this one asthe on that started the whole thing rolling.

THAT'SA NASTY HABIT YOU'VE GOT THERE:

Anothersong recorded in the Jase Edwards session that just fell into place. Evenexperiencing recurring vocal issues (long term throat problems that have noseeming cause according to medical science), appeared to add to the vibe of thesong. Crooning was out of the question so I asked Jase if I could just shout itin a Geordie accent, to which he replied in the positive and I set aboutsquawking in my native tongue over a few bottles of broon. I love the finalsong, that spiteful vocal performance matching the subject matter perfectly.

Thesethings aren't only sent to try us but to change things and, possibly, make thembetter.

PETITMORT:

Thisone came to me in the middle of the night after my father’s funeral. I rushedinto the quiet kitchen to record it onto my dictaphone, turning suddenly to seea shadow standing directly in front of me. Once the electric shock of frighthad activated every standing hair and bumping goose on my body, I realised itwas my own reflection in my mums glass door. I had planned to sing this onemyself, obviously, being as the lyrics were so personal. But then the mightyYolanda Quartey came to the studio and asked to have a bash at it. She nailedthe emotion of the lyrics in such a way that I felt the same hair raising goosebumps that I'd felt back in that quiet kitchen. At which point the song becamehers. I was never going to come anywhere close to capturing the raw emotionthat Yolanda so naturally poured out. While a very easy person to love anyway,I developed even more of it for Yolanda after she made this song her own.
