Mark and Gary On The Wire, Rockchester

[Jethro]

Last night's OTW played another tribute to Mark, bit of She Is Good Beyond Evil, and what I call the sound system overdubbed version of Rockchester.

This is from a tape that Clail would play out at Sound System sets, but it seems to be of Doug and Skip in the studio, doing a live overdub of the Rockchester tape presumably with Adrian mixing.  I taped half of this off the radio back in the day, and badgered Steve for years to see if he could re-find the tape .  Even when he gave me his tape collection it wasn't there, then he found the cassette of this visit and there it was.  The recording is not great, it's slightly tweaked to make it slightly less shit sounding, but I love it anyway.

Steve's posted the link to a VHS that I recovered from the collection of Brian Planet Jackson a few years ago.  It's unlisted so not discoverable for now, will make it proper if I re-up with the fixed aspect ratio.

I remember that Rockchester overdub


Was it obligatory to smoke at OTW in those days?

Pretty much... kinda shocking to see now but It Was A Different Time (the excuse for anything).
