Isn't it great to be a footnote in history?

16-Jan-82 AU Melbourne, Royal Oak Hotel,Tiger Lounge [with Sunburnt Pharaohs and Precious Little]

setlist: New Age/ Downtown Swinging Town/ I Don't Care, Yeah/ Dead Joe/ Ring Of Fire.

Note: A private Missing Link Records party. The Birthday Party (without Phill Calvert) with members of The Go-Betweens and others. They perform as The Cavemen.

Taken from here.

Some of Precious Little's studio stuff is now available on a limited edition (1 copy only) CD, by the way.

    I knew I was procastinating doing my assignment for college but i just thought i would take a 'quick' look at your link!

    I ended up reading the whole birthday party, cavemen and bad seeds thing...so much for completing my assignment, shit, pity I can't write it on Nick Cave hey?!

    Oh well, there's always tomorrow...keep up the excellent blog tjhoneysuckle.

    R u selling the CD TJ?

    I do not have a credit card you see, I can not trust myself. The last one I had drove me to tears and thousands of $$$$ lost to the bank...argh!

    But otherwise yes...you could interest me in the Precious Little CD.

    OH and just in case u r worried about my studies, I got the assignment submitted today. I felt inspired after reading the history of Nick Cave so I stayed up late last night and completed it. I had been at it all afternoon!

  4. Sadly, there is only one Precious Little CD in existence, and I don't have it. I gave it away.
    And those cassettes we issued back in the day are impossible to find- I had to borrow one to make the CD.

    If i am repeating myself it is because i can not remember if I clicked on Anon before I closed my last post here! Feel free to delete this if I have doubled up...memory going at my age...this is not a good sign.

    Oh no...get the borrowed one back and copy another. Then i can copy yours!

    Not that we are serious, we do not do THAT sort of thing!

    Cassettes: many a fine recording eaten by my player. You know I actually prefered cassettes to vinyl. The only reason i liked vinyl was for the album covers.

    Cheers, Michelle

  6. That's true about vinyl. But now the reason I dislike CDs is because of CD covers.

    Too small aint they?

    I dont know why they bother most of the time, actually I have one or two CD covers out of hundreds that are worth a mention.

    And i think it is easier to fuck up a CD than vinyl...and the sturdy cassette...you had to destroy it to make it unplayable.

    I have a shocking, kill ten dogs hang over this morning...had a great night though!

    Cheers, Michelle
