Knockin' On Heaven's Door

Great song, shame it was never officially released (how come?)
Anyone know where/when it was recorded, and more importantly, who does the backing vocals?

James Blast · 23 Oct 2006, 14:37

There's a version albeit bracketed as 'bootleg version' on Dr. Jeep. I guess that's official.

SomeKindOfStranger · 23 Oct 2006, 16:52

I have a feeling it turns up on several boots, so I guess it depends which one you are listening to!

I think the dr jeep B-side was Bremen 1985 (but I may be wrong!)

btw - Pop Art?? Surely some mistake? Velveteen was soooo much better!

Trash City must be one of the best starts to an album ever! A veritable pop masterpiece of an album if ever I heard one

Mind you I did fancy the arse off her

Mind you, who didn't?

Yep, that's right.

Getting back to the point (and away from Wendy James!) wasn't it planned as a b-side to one of the FALAA singles but would have meant paying royalties (or whatever) as well?

I think there was a EP of cover versions mooted at one point. Dan or Vicus or someone confirmed this elsewhere.

It was also officially released on Wake, by the way.

And I'm pretty sure that the b vox are by the Huss monster.

may all your gods go with you

how come that ozzy version is perfect and yet the taper of the original confessed to have made mistakes putting the tape heads down. at least that's what he told me

robertzombie · 24 Oct 2006, 16:07

I have two different demos of this, one is 7:28mins and the other 7:09mins but they both sound identical

clever editing?

Yeah, I guess I should have specified I meant the FALAA-era demo version.

The live Dr Jeep version's not that good, sadly.

And it wasn't Dan or vicus who confirmed it most recently, it was you!

I think "not that good" is being a bit kind to it.

Of all the bootlegs Von could have chosen...

Oh well.

Depends on what you look for/expect from a live recording

James Blast · 26 Oct 2006, 19:14

Aye, but then you have very low standards Big Yin

Well speaking as....

a former 15 year old fat school boy with no mates and no chance of ever hearing any Sisters bootlegs that all my elder sister's friends kept talking about as well as the bloody music press any "nth" generation hissy tape copy complete with vinyl crackles and needle jumps was a bloody godsend from having to put up with TOP 40 Radio One being played at the school disco and all day on the radio and on the feckin' TV

No thanks to - Dave Lee Travis, Bruno Brooks/Jackie Brambles, Gary Davies and all the other Smashy n' Nicey cnuts!

Thanks the lord for -

....steps down from Soapbox.

Sorry Jimbo, wasn't a rant at you, but I think you forget some of us young uns from the Provinces didn't have access to proper music unlike you city dwellers, so i've always been grateful for receiving new music no matter what it's quality

James Blast · 26 Oct 2006, 21:46

Whoops! I touched a nerve there Big Yin, it wisnae ma intention man. Honest!

It's a pity the album wasn't that good. Grease Monkey gets better the more you listen to it, but the rest of the album...meh...
The new one should be/is out soon so I'll see what that's like.

It's a pity her second solo album Lies In Chinatown never got a proper release as that is actually pretty damn good. I've only got a bad copy of it though.

I've got all the Transvision Vamp stuff barring the last album (harder to find than a lost very hard thing).

I know that!

It also explains why I have such a generous and grateful nature (as documented in the weeding forum

), besides the ladies always cum before Big Si

I believe the "longer" version has a drop-out in the middle, where the song fades out and then back in? And the shorter one is complete, without a break? Is that right?

yep.

The short version is cut at 10 Khz so all the high frequency elements are missing. I've obtained this version from 2 different sources now, and it's the same in both.
