- BRIDGE HOUSE ALBUMS -

While we were at the bridge house we wanted to record a live gig of Wasted Youth. I told the sound engineers to sort it out and get it done. this they did and it wasn't until we got in the studio did we get to listen to it. I could not believe it, instead of recording it through the mixer he had just miked up the PA speakers. So after I calmed down a bit I thought it sounded alright, but we could not clean it up or repair any mistakes they had made during their live performance. We were going to overdub anything that needed it. So we released it as a bootleg copy of the band and it sold quite well.

If you ever hear this it's how the band really sounded, except for the muffled sound of the speakers of course. The sleeve is an old wartime paper with a picture of Wasted Youth and underneath is a write up we got in the Evening Standard. We told the paper that a girl got up on stage and did a strip tease while the band were playing, this did happen but we made out while she was doing the strip someone stole the tapes of the recordings. A bit of free publicity always helps to sell records.
