  • Band of Georges: Overture #113
    Overture #113 by George.
    From Volume VI Side B of the Band of Georges.
    Music and lyrics by G. Davies
    Composed 20th December 1985, 6:36 - 06:53 pm.
    Recorded November 1986.
    Mixed April 1987.
    Lifted from cassette May 2025.

    Copyright ℗ 2025 Wud Records.
    Fun Facts:
    Overture #113 was also a late addition to The Concept Album.
    The Concept Album was originally conceived in the spring and summer of 1983.
    Much of the music for that album was composed in 1983, although not many of the songs were actually finished at that time.
    The talkover is performed by George's Dad, Peter.
    The beginning was supposed to be the sound of someone walking along a busy promenade onto a beach and then starting to strum an acoustic guitar.
    George attempted to record this at the Sidmouth International Folk Festival.
    Unfortunately it was a bit busy and he collided with a couple of other festivalgoers, which put the guitar out of tune.
    When he sat on a rock and played the first C-chord, it sounded hideous.
    It was very funny, albeit not particularly successful.
    The #113 comes from the song being the 113th song in George's chronological list.

    Music and lyrics by G. Davies
    Composed 10th November 1985.
    Recorded November 1986.
    Mixed April 1987.
    Lifted from cassette May 2025.

    This is a song of exasperation at the political situation in thatcher's uk in the mid-1980s.
    It seems nothing much has improved or changed in the last 40 years.

    Lifted from cassette May 2025.
    Copyright © 1985 Explicit Music.

    Fun Facts:
    This is a simple diss track, or a piece of trolling.
    Ken was the singer in the band Wud, with whom George had a difficult relationship.
    Gary was a name that seemed to be prevalent among trendy, fashionable, frivolous, foolish young men in the 1980s.
    Sharon was the female version of Gary.
    This song was never performed by any band.

  • Band of Georges: What Could It Be?
    What Could It Be? by George.
    From Volume VI Side B of the Band of Georges.
    Music and lyrics by G. Davies
    Composed 26th November 1985.
    Recorded November 1986.
    Mixed April 1987.
    Lifted from cassette May 2025.
    Copyright © 1985 Explicit Music.
    Copyright ℗ 2025 Wud Records.
    Fun Facts:
    What Could It Be? is a strange, beautiful, wistful song.
    It uses the filter matrix setting on the Electric Mistress to produce the unusual guitar tone.
    What Could It Be? was almost called 'Something'.
    That is the name written on the cassette, but not the lyric sheet.
    George wrote this song for a new girlfriend after a couple of weeks.
    She hated it!

  • Band of Georges: At One
    At One by George.
    From Volume V Side B of the Band of Georges.
    Music by G. Davies and M. Greatorex.
    Lyrics by G. Davies.
    Composed 10th July 1985.
    Recorded October 1986.
    Mixed March 1987.
    Lifted from cassette May 2025.
    Copyright © 1985 Explicit Music.
    Copyright ℗ 2025 Wud Records.
    Fun Facts:
    At One is song #100 in the list of Songs by George songs.
    It is suitably epic.
    Some if it was written in a tent during a rainstorm.
    This rainstorm lasted three days and was non-stop.
    Leaving the island on which George, Marc and Richard had camped was wet and hazardous.
    This song is about an experience with LSD.
    At One was performed live many times by Rough Terrain.
    Andy would do a funny Scottish dance during the change to 6/8 in the long instrumental section.
    This moment became an integral part of the Rough Terrain set.
    Other time signatures are 5/8 and 13/8, which the Boss DR55 couldn't handle.
