[peel] RE: Help needed from early 80s peel listeners

Grrr see this new Yahoo group. I appear to be signed in but there is no reply button. 
Oh well back to email, and who knows what I’ll be, mantoid, Stuart, an abridged version of my email, it varies all the time!

I just listened to more of the lyrics, became convinced they were a session band, and checked Ken’s book for track titles. It wasn’t the most obvious of the lyrics that ended up being the track titles.

It’s been verified as one of the tracks cropped up on a repeat for which much more of the show was available.

Now, to the August 1983 Karl Tape, though most of the unidentifieds there I think are not from the Peel show.

well done mate - how did you do that? 


presume its this lot: http://www.discogs.com/Offspring-Nota-Sad-Song/release/3286978


although to be frank I am only vaguely familiar with the more  famous ones - these sound a lot better - do we know any more about them?

Yeh that was me I listened to as many of Float Up CP tracks from the album that are available on Youtube, and concluded that there were none of the Neneh-mannerisms on the track in question. I had used Shazam on the tape already and the unidentifieds that are left were not recognised.
I don't think we have had the track listing from the inlay yet, so maybe the answers are there...

There are 4 tracks on here from 1983 that I have spent too long trying to identify!

The first two are pigbag/float up cp/y record like. The first is an instrumental on side a and you would have to be a big fan of band to recognise it. On Side B first track is the second sounds like Float Up Cp to me -as I think the vocalist sounds a bit like rip rig and panic era neneh cherry but someone else has edited it in disagreement so I'm not so certain now...

The second two sound like they are the same band and maybe a session - Karl's tapes usually only lists the band the first time if it is a session but in this case I can't hear another band that sounds remotely like them earlier in the tape. I think the tracks are excellent examples of their time but searching for the lyrics gets me nowhere ...

Any help gratefully received. Did someone say there was some software that could identify songs ... it might be time to deploy it.
