October 20, 1986 Band of Georges: Four
Four by George.
From Volume II Side B of the Band of Georges.
Music and lyrics by G. Davies.
Composed circa 24th January 1983.
Recorded June 1986.
Mixed October 1986.
Lifted from cassette March 2025.
Copyright © 1983 Explicit Music.
Copyright ℗ 2025 Wud Records.
Fun Facts:
Four is a song that was inspired by a dream that seemed to have four separate acts.
It had rather a grand scope and several of George's friends seemed to love this song, despite its apparently nonsensical lyrics.
In 1985 it became a part of Wud's repertoire.
George had heard bands such as Led Zeppelin, Blue Oyster Cult and Black Sabbath perform a song where everyone but the guitarist left the stage and the guitar played some sort of solo.
This was incorporated into this song, to represent the time and the upcoming change in feel following an event in described in the lyrics.
The piano was recorded at a very low gain for reasons now unknown, unfortunately.
There is something causing a massive hiss on the vocal mic, possibly a low battery in the Selmer Scintallation reverb unit.

October 20, 1986 Band of Georges: Hard Times (Flashback Part 2)
Hard Times (Flashback Part 2) by George.
From Volume III Side A of the Band of Georges.
Music by G. Davies / M. Greatorex.
Lyrics by G. Davies / R. Holloway.
Orignally composed 27th January 1983.
Recorded July 1986.
Mixed October 1986.
Lifted from cassette March 2025.
Copyright © 1983 Explicit Music.
Copyright ℗ 2025 Wud Records.
Fun Facts:
This is an art rock/hard rock song in A minor.
There is a break where the chords are Dmaj7 and Fmaj7.
Hard Times was part of the set of Wud and they would use it to close their set.
It is the second part of Flashback, which had three parts.
Richard helped with a few of the later lyrics and the bass part was influenced by what Marc used to play.
There was a drummer who couldn't understand the beat of this song and sat looking embarrased and uncomfortable on his drumstool until the end.
He was sacked after the show.

October 20, 1986 Band of Georges: I Hate You
I Hate You by George.
From Volume II Side B of the Band of Georges.
Music and lyrics by G. Davies.
Composed 20th January 1983, 5:02 to 5:27pm.
Recorded June 1986.
Mixed October 1986.
Lifted from cassette March 2025.
Copyright © 1983 Explicit Music.
Copyright ℗ 2025 Wud Records.
Fun Facts:
This is not a particularly serious song
In fact, it is rather fun, in a typically teenage way.
The sentiments within may be true, but this song is done as a parody or caricature.
I Hate You is a punk song in the key of A.
"I really cannot be dealing with your incessant mind-numbing foolishness any more, begone" is arguably not as good a title for a song.
The guitar was the first thing laid down, in one take, with a little improvised solo.
The vocal also was probably first take.

October 19, 1986 Band of Georges: Frog
Frog by George.
From Volume II Side A of the Band of Georges.
Composed circa 8th November 1982.
Music by G. Davies/S. Miller.
Accidental lyrics by M. Drower/P. Rippin.
Frog noises by M. Greatorex.
Recorded May 1986.
Mixed October 1986.
Lifted from cassette March 2025.
Copyright © 1982 Explicit Music.
Copyright ℗ 2025 Wud Records.
Fun Facts:
Frog is a fun instrumental in the key of G major.
The idea for the frog noises came from Marc.
Simon composed the lead guitar part.
During a jam of this song in what were then the 'new' school music rooms, Pete Rippin handed Mark Drower a cigarette he had just rolled.
Perfectly timed in a gap between a 'verse' and a 'chorus', the tape machine picked up Mark's "Mmmm, thanks!"
That particular exclamation remained a part of Frog ever after.
Frog was later performed live a great many times by Rough Terrain.
It is the second track on Rough Terrain's Howell Road Demo, and their Exit Stage Deaf compilation.

October 19, 1986 Band of Georges: Wishful Thinkingcrime
Wishful Thinkingcrime by George.
From Volume II Side A of the Band of Georges.
Music and lyrics by G. Davies.
Composed 1st December 1982.
Recorded June 1986.
Mixed October 1986.
Lifted from cassette March 2025.
Copyright © 1982 Explicit Music.
Copyright ℗ 2025 Wud Records.
Fun Facts:
The most peculiar thing happened the day George wrote this song.
He phoned Simon to tell him he had written a new song for the 1984 play that Mark Drower was planning to present.
Simon had also written a song the same evening.
Both of their songs had the exact same chord progression - G D F C.
Simon's song was Johnny Wake Up, which was later performed by the two of them on Sidmouth Seafront for the local TV station, which was when Ken and Simon Knagg first appeared.
Mark didn't go through with putting on the play and nothing ever happened with this song.

October 19, 1986 Band of Georges: Slark Lywilsbie
Slark Lywilsbie by George.
From Volume II Side A of the Band of Georges.
Music by G. Davies.
Composed circa 8th November 1982.
Recorded May 1986.
Mixed October 1986.
Lifted from cassette March 2025.
Copyright © 1982 Explicit Music.
Copyright ℗ 2025 Wud Records.
Fun Facts:
Slark Lywilsbie is a jolly instrumental piece in the key of F major.
It received its first airing in the days of Now.
Simon always referred to it as "Jack Rabbit".
Slark Lywilsbie was performed live many times by Rough Terrain.
Laney made up a funny dance to go with it.
Rough Terrain recorded Slark Lywilsbie at Daylight studios in Honiton in 1988.
You can hear the full version and the stripped back 'bare' remix on their Exit Stage Deaf album.
Lywilsbie is pronounced "Lie" (the opposite of truth) - "Wills" - "Bee", with the stress on the second syllable.
Slark is a utopian city from a fantasy world and Lywilsbie is made up from the beginnings and ends of the names of two girls who George used to know.

Julia was performed live by Wud and Lemming Meringue.
Much of the lead guitar is composed rather than improvised.

October 19, 1986 Band of Georges: Teel: A Mistaken Identity
Teel: A Mistaken Identity by George.
From Volume II Side A of the Band of Georges.
Music and lyrics by G. Davies.
Composed 22nd November 1982.
Recorded May 1986.
Mixed October 1986.
Lifted from cassette March 2025.
Copyright © 1982 Explicit Music.
Copyright ℗ 2025 Wud Records.
Fun Facts:
The rhythm guitar is the source of the song and is played through a Hohner HFX Instant Funk pedal.
This song is based on a true story involving the wrong girl at a school disco.
At a school disco in the autumn of 1982, George was a gatecrasher because he had just left school and started at Exeter College.
Simon was rather fond of a particular girl called Kate.
George found Kate, took her by the hand with a cheeky smile, and persuaded her to sit on Simon's knee and give him a snuggle.
Unfortunately, it was the wrong Kate.
The name 'Teel' comes from the last two letter of the name Kate and the first two letters of the wrong girl's surname.
The name 'Lert' came from an occasion when several people were signing a 'thank you' card for a teacher using fictitious names and scribbled signatures.
Chords are ||: Em - Bm/D - Em - Bm/D - A - G - A - Am - D7 :|| - Em - D6 - Em.
The lead guitar parts are definitive and composed.

October 19, 1986 Band of Georges: I Want
I Want by George.
From Volume II Side B of the Band of Georges.
Music and lyrics by G. Davies.
Composed 13th January 1983, 8:30 - 9:00pm.
Recorded June 1986.
Mixed October 1986.
Lifted from cassette March 2025.
Copyright © 1983 Explicit Music.
Copyright ℗ 2025 Wud Records.
Fun Facts:
The wonderful shimmery guitar effect is made by the EHX Electric Mistress.
It's an Ibanez Roadstar II into an HH 5-Channel PA.
This song in A minor never made it to the set of any band and remained as a piece personal therapy for its composer's aching soul.
