[peel] Cover version shows

[Alan Ford]

I've listened to some more cover version tapes now. There's another song by DJ Lebowitz (a Ramones song).
And then John says "I bet you're thinking the old fool's forgotten the Fall", and plays 7 in a row, inc White Lightning, Ghost In My House, Victoria, Day In The Life and some others which I hadn't even realised were covers.
Day In The Life is from the Sgt Pepper Knew My Father album which I'd completely forgotten about; I wonder if it's valuable ......

I was listening to another tape where John plays the original of Kimble followed by the Fall's; then he says he wishes he could go back onto Desert Island Discs again - he'd include both versions (but doesn't say what he'd drop).

  Hi Alan!

  Sorry I didn't reply before.  Only just now able to slow down after the rush of work over the past few weeks.

  Great that you found that track!  There were plenty of others I loved, but that one seems to pop into my head quite vividly when I think back to those shows for some reason.  I loved Holiday In Cambodia and when I heard this cover vesion on the show I thought "What on Earth are they THINKING?", then realised that the very asking of such a question made me more interested in it!

  Nothing by The Fall?  During those shows he played Terry Edwards' version of Container Drivers and I was convinced that he followed it with The Fall's original (and at the same time enthused over the Dragnet LP, which was unavailable in 1991).

    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 ta pe 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
            con ta 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".
