[peel] Cover version shows

[Alan Ford]

Hey Neil,
I found your stomping piano-only version of Holiday In Cambodia - from 13/7/91.
It's by someone called DJ Lebovitz.
There's also sessions by Party Dictator and Scientist.
I've listened to 4.5 ours of these shows now, and still nothing by the Fall.
Alan

  Listened to 7/7/91 today; some good stuff on it, inc (non-cover) sessions by Tar and L7.
  It seems I missed the first installment of the cover version shows on 6/7/91 (unless the tapes are in a different box somewhere)
  In those days John had 3-hour shows (11 - 2) on Sat and Sun nights, still used his theme tune; and had to say goodbye to medium wave listeners at midnight!
  And in the news was a story about S. Africa dismantling aparthied.
  Cheers
  Alan

    I've had a dig thru my unsorted tape box today and discovered 6 tapes labelled
    JP Cover Version Shows 7/7/91, 13/7/91, 14/7/91 (Parts 1 & 2 for each date).
    Does anyone know if that's the full set?
    I can't remember anything about them, but I look forward to listening to them over the next few days.

    (If anyone wants to borrow them with a view to converting them to MP3 then please bear in mind that I made a similar arrangement with someone last April. They finally received the tapes this week !!!)

    Also, I just noticed Terry Edwards' entry in "In Session Tonight". His only solo session (2/2/92) seems to have been cover versions. The note says "After dozens of session guest appearances with other acts, not to mention those as a founder member of The Higsons, Edwards chose his debut solo date to salute the magic of Miles Davis and Napalm Death".

    Cheers
    Alan

      Wasn't that during a small series of shows he did where he'd play lots of cover versions of stuff?  I loved those and had them on tape until their mysterious disappearance.  For some reason I particularly remember a stomping piano-only version of Holiday In Cambodia.

      I met Terry Edwards briefly at the Melkweg in Amsterdam around 1994.  I was there to see Tindersticks and as I recall he was playing on some of their numbers (maybe it was all their numbers!).  I can just about remember his verison of Container Drivers, although I have to struggle!

        After playing Container Driver by Terry Edwards and then The Fall's
        original version. He then read out a letter fron Terry Edwards who'd been
        conta cted by Jacko (mindermast (sic) of Stim Records who'd found a
        recording on Dandelion records  of Bill Oddie and mentions that John
        appeared on the recording to which John adds "and John Walters and also
        the Pig.
        Terry then suggests that John should give the record an airing.
        John says "No way and anyway, I think I have all the copies".



      Best regards,
