Last night we recorded Clean Livers. Unlike Heckel’s Whore there’s no big tape wobble till Son of a Gun just before the tape ran out. Son of a Gun isn’t on the album as it’s a cover. No covers on our Bandcamp. Maybe no bad motor in the four track but a cassette tape issue all along. Edgeworth Band now use Maxell UK 90 minutes. Got to bed around 7am. Woken up by not-yet-nocturnal fox cubs at 9.
There was a minute or so’s tape left at the end to record a Vaselines cover Nirvana also covered:
Son of a Gun, Vaselines song Nirvana also covered. Recorded immediately after Clean Livers on remaining tape. Waste not want not.

Fan club exclusive new album Heckel’s Whore now available free for subscribers on our Bandcamp. Recorded tonight at home, aka Black Ivory Printmaking & Audio Club on a Fostex four track cassette recorder that arrived today from ebay. It has the unintentional wobble sound my old one had. Like on the vocals of the Elbow Sisters recording below:
Shelley’s wobbling voice on the old four track cassette recorder. The new second-hand four track so far, only wobbles on guitar. Don’t know why as I’ve been recording different instruments on different tracks. Twenty years ago the 134 bus went straight from Muswell Hill to Denmark Street where you could get a new four track cassette recorder for £70. The best thing about a blog is not having to keep losing scraps of paper with your studio settings:
T1- guitar vol 7.5, G5: 8
T2- bass vol 7.5, G5: 9
T3- vocal vol 10, ve20: 79
T4- drums vol 10, ve20: 41G5: 24.3 HW Stack
Counter positions:
Beauty Was There: 965-60
Maiden Alice: 60-95
Knee Bore: 96-181Mixdown volumes:
Fostex: 4
