Mystery Fez rehearsal (possibly first one) 1991

Remember way back, the "metal" tape?


Well, I flipped over the other side - this has been one of the big highlights of doing these tapes,  seeing what's on at the end of a tape, or on the unlabeled side - you find all sorts of stuff!   Case in point!  This is a dub off the DAT of (what I think is) our first, or one of our first rehearsals at Mystery Fez.  It's undated, so I can't tell you exactly when.  This flyer makes mention that we're losing our rehearsal space; but I don't remember vacating the Rocky Point house in the winter.  But maybe I'm wrong.  Maybe I'm thinking about when we moved in, which I have a clearer memory of.  It may be that Ted & Frank did all the moving out.  If that's the case: sorry, guys, I'm sure that was  a sucky job!

Ted wrote our newsletters.  Now, you'd just post a link, email, do it all on Facebook.  We ended up not playing the Woody's show.  The WCWP broadcast can be found on the flip side of this cassette, here.  

Anyways, we didn't move right into Mystery Fez, we rehearsed at Frank's studio for a bit, where we had all our equipment stolen!  Believe it or not, LOOB luck was in full force, yet again, and what sounds like a terrible setback turned into .....something else! Unfortunately - for legal reasons - that will have to be a story I tell y'all verbally! For our purposes here, let's just say that we eventually wound up rehearsing at Mystery Fez, a rehearsal studio Ted & Frank co-ran with The Skels.

LOOB is all business in this rehearsal.   After tight, concentrated, textbook versions of "Return Britain" (this one track has a a lot of tape drop out, can't be helped) and "I Owe", highlights include us jamming the frick out of "Something's Falling Apart" (12 minutes plus!), the only other version I have found so far, "Gone Strong" (which tragically gets cut after a mere 30 seconds!!!), and a song I completely forgot about, "The Islands".  We didn't do that one much, catchy though it was!  Also, a version of "Spotlight Shining" that is so fast, you'll think I speeded the tape up.

This is cool listen, no fat at all.
