PIL - 1987 Remixes

Tonight I give you some PIL first intended to be released under the title 'Renovations', then as a planned bonus disc to the 'Happy' album. This was to be a reworking of some PIL classics. The project was scrapped and only two of the songs 'The Suit' & 'Religion' are used as B-sides in 1987. Apparently 'Flowers of Romance', 'Banging the Door' & 'Tie Me to the Length of That' were also recorded, but all remain unreleased. I would love that to happen some day. These tracks are no longer commercially available (track 2 never has been)

Tracks:
01 The Suit ('87 Remix)
02 The Suit (Unreleased Extended '87 Remix)
03 Religion ('87 Remix)

Pigface - Caberet Metro, Chicago, IL - 5th March 1991 - their 2nd ever gig

 


In 1990 Martin Atkins was the co founder of what has been described as an Industrial Supergroup. Members & collaborators have changed constantly. But Martin has been the one constant member.

Sometimes there has been up to and above 15 band members playing on stage. They are noisey, chaotic & wonderful. 

There has been 140 or more people involved over the years playing varying roles in the groups identity.

This is the earliest Pigface recording I have and I have been told it was their 2nd ever gig.

                Intro  

Blood And Sand  

Chant  

Little Sisters  

War Ich Nicht - I Love You

Point Blank  

Stow Away  

Tapeworm

Brian Brain - Snoopy's Disco, Richmond, UK - 20th August 1980

 


This is the earliest Brian Brain gig that I have.

While I have said that Brian Brain was Martin's post PIL band, thats not strictly true. As with all things relating to Public Image Ltd in the early years its a bit complicated.

Most PIL fans will know Martin was in and out of PIL when he first joined the band.

Martin started working on Brian Brain recordings (with Pete Jones) while he was still working in PIL in early 1980.

The debut Brian Brain single, They've Got Me in A Bottle/I Get Pain was actually released in March 1980.

Brian Brain's first gig at The John Bull pub in Chiswick, London on 12th July 1980.

As such Brian Brain as a live act were only 39 days old for this recording that I share with you now.

This is from Martin Atkins own personal archive.

Enjoy!

I Get Pain

Unexpected Noises

Brian Brain - City Gardens, Trenton , New Jersey - 24th January 1982

 


I have always had a fondness for Martin Atkins post PIL band, Brian Brain. Fellow PIL member Pete Jones was along for the ride from 1980 to 1983.

I only ever saw them once and all I really remember was uit was chaotic fun. They sounded pretty damn good to me.

Anyway, here's one from Martin's own personal archive of recordings - enjoy!

Coming soon - Brian Brain gigs


 Coming soon, a little bit of post PIL Martin Atkins

I hope you will enjoy them 

Public Image Ltd - CAN YOU HELP? - Agora Theatre, Cleveland, Ohio, USA 30th April 1980


 The copy of this gig, that I posted many years ago, was an incorrect mislabelled version.

Does anyone have the correct version please - 

following info taken from Fodderstompf - 

''PiL - Cleveland, Agora Theater, USA  - April 30th, 1980

Running Order:

1. Careering

2. Annalisa

3. Attack

4. Low Life

5. Chant

6. Poptones

7. Death Disco


Running Time: 35 minutes (approx)

Sound Quality: (5.5) VERY muddy over modulated Audience Recording


review by DINO EVERETT

Notes:

This gig is always overlooked in gig listings from the 1980 US Tour, in fact, until this recording surfaced no one really knew it had even been played.


Review:

This is one for historians only since the recording quality of this is almost unlistenable due to the overmodulation that occurs when the music starts. Some of the cheaper recorders in the 70/80's didn't have mikes capable of loud music and would get all muffled sounding once it starts because it can't handle it, which is frustrating since when the music stops the tape gets very clear sounding.

Anyway it is hard to properly review the gig since you can barely hear what is going on but Johnny doesn't seem to interact with the audience all that much and all that is really audible is the fuzzy over modulated sound of Wobble's bass. It cuts off on 'Death Disco' so it probably is incomplete as well. A real shame since this was a gig that I didn't even know had occurred for many years.''


If you have this please send it my way, I dont care how bad it is or in what format, I will be very grateful to plug a gap in my collection - thanks in advance
