A few years back a member of the band The Vox Phantoms posted a video on Youtube of their track "Nothing New" which had been produced by AMS circa '79/'80 and only existed on an acetate
This track, along with another of theirs and two by Dead Airmen also produced by Adrian at the same session, were released nearly two years ago (but I only just spotted it) on a compilation called "Bored Teenagers Vol 6" on Bin Liner Records - splendid name for a record label, nearly as good as KLB's proposed Piece Of Shit Records!
Bin Liner
From the liner notes regarding the Vox Phantoms recordings:
"The Phantoms and the Airmen often appeared together, so it was only natural when a local promoter asked them to put together a split single. With two bands and gear crowded into the back of Guy's borrowed work Transit, the bands headed to London to record at Berwick Street Studio* in Islington. At the desk, fresh from a session with dub maestro Prince Far I, was a young guy called Adrian Sherwood. Two takes for the Phantoms, two takes for the Airmen. That was the deal, then stick on the vocals and home."
*They mean Berry Street
And from the Dead Airmen's liner notes:
"These two tracks were put down in one take with backing vocals added at a studio called Berry Street in London's Clerkenwell with a certain Mr Adrian Sherwood at the controls of the mixing desk with another local Gloucestershire band the Vox Phantoms doing their two tracks."
