Stop Us If You've Heard This One Before, Vol. 1 - Out May 19

also looks like a good range of tracks - pleased to see they haven't gone down the usual road of doing karoake classics.

Karaoke classics? You mean like UB40s Red Red Wine, Infact as much as I hate that band I'd quite like to hear Red Red Wine covered by our boys followed up by Making Your Mind Up by Bucks FIzz and Save Your Love by Rene and Renatto who, for trivia fans out there, now runs a restaraunt in the Midlands somewhere

where did you get the tracklisting for volume 2, Sarc?

In my wierd brain.

I loved Baby Chaos, they were just awesome. Really good songs, with a bitter twist to them. In fact I'm going to go off and listen to some now. I still need to buy that Deckard album. I've not heard it but I'll get it anyway on the strength of their other stuff I think it's unlikely to disappoint.

Actually, Deckard did 2 LPs, although Stereodreamscene* is so hard to find it may as well not exist. Dreams of Dynamite & Divinity is ace though. Union of Knives are great too although its more house-y than BC/Deckard by a long way.

Really looking forward to his - Ice Hockey Hair, Rocket 69, Rearrange You & Waiting Room are already among my favourite tunes so my favourite band covering them...


* If anyone can help me out with this one I'll pay them handsomely in swaps - I've had bugger all luck finding it, even on eBay.

Ah, cheers bud! I'd forgotten about that.

it would be great if they did a tour for this album. i saw a skin gig years back where they did all covers for the main set, then did a handful of their own tunes for the encore. it was great fun.(mind you the tracklisting for this album doesn't look like sing a long stuff.)

And let's face it, it's Skin. Who wants to hear their stuff when they could be playing covers!?

[earthvs]

Skin is ace!.

Stops all my intestines and bits and bobs going all over the floor.

I, personally, wouldn't be without skin. But each to his own.


Hang on... did you mean the band....?

i asked for their album on 12" vinyl for a birthday once...and i got it. what a waste of a birthday.

"stop me.." on the other hand, will be jolly good i reckon! the download/CD split thing irks me somewhat but hey i'm still gonna buy em both i guess. hurrah!

[markE]

oi - i loved skin . saw them loads of times and met them on a couple of occasions, bloody nice they were too. as a live band they were phenomenal - never a bad gig.

I saw 'em loads of times to wierdly always supported by WHatever Stidi's post hearts band, I met them loads to and y'right they where nice guys, their drummer Dickie was as mad as Pooley and Myke Gray gave my my first taste of Jack Daniels when I was fifteen.

[Mainman]

Maybe its me...but I cannot get excited aboiut this release. Firstly, you have to download the tracks......or wait until summer !!!! and isnt Gingers writing what the wildhearts are all about, lyrically and musically. THis has been done for them.

I dont know any of the tracks they are covering......but be honest.......the tracks I play least of the WH are the covers they have already done (pump it up, so good to be etc etc)

Lets hope there will be an original album this year.

Dont get me wrong, I love the band and all they do.........but im not so sure about this......

[Andy Santiago]

Totally agree with Mainman above.
The Wildhearts bang out quality tunes in their sleep so why bother with an album of covers? Quite honestly, I'm not that interested and dare I suggest that this could be seen as a bit of an ego project?

[sonicshake]

I think considering the amount of quality original material Ginger releases year after year, under his various guises, that he's earned the right to indulge himself a little and just relax and have fun in the studio.

If it was obvious that this album was only being recorded and released because The Wildhearts were running out of ideas then yeah, it would a be rip off. But as it stands I'm actually really looking forward to hearing songs by bands I've never heard before, and that have inspired my favourite band of all time.
