Unknown songs and demos, who wrote what, who sang what, the usual biographies, discography gubbins, photos of Eldritch with no sunglasses, etc, etc, etc, yadda, yadda, yadda....

On 'Echoes vol 2' there's these nice versions of F&L&A and Marian.
The cover says they're 'OGWT 85'.



Does anyone know where those things come from? WEA mixes perhaps?

Marx's last ever performance with the Sisters. Filmed on 2.4.85, broadcast 2(I think?) days later. The performances were repeated on Italian TV and some people still list these in their lists as different performances! :lol:

These two versions were also on the original cassette copy of 'Victims of Circimstance that I bought in the mid to late 80's.

Being a bit thick (back then) it tok me about two years to work out why two random tracks had been included from an un-named gig!
Give me one good reason

Are they playing to an audience?
And were they interviewed?... I'm not familiar with OGWT, (too young) is it like interview and performances or like a Jools Holland kind of thing..?

Top of the Pops but with less irritating presenter's, and no screaming kids in the audience.

No interview as I recall (and I watched it about a gazillion times back in the day) - just the performance.

This, to me, is the Sisters.

absolutely. the definitive line-up, the first time i'd seen them outside of a photograph,and one of the finest versions (not "version") of marian. :von:

no interview
and my original VHS (recorded the night my life changed) has the John Foxx era Ultravox! doing Hiroshima Mon Amour between the two TSOM tunes
Ultravox! had lost the '!' by then, I just like to be a pain about those things :twisted:
