I'm in the US (Southern Pennsyvania, to be exact)... so I think I can be counted out for hand-on collaboration. I hope it isn't some sort of forewarning of the end of the world that an American has started a large-ish group of Englishmen in putting together a Wildhearts tribute album.

Also... there's sax in Shitsville?

I'm in Edinburgh.

Should we for some reason fall short of bassists I'd happily lay down a few other tracks if needs be.

Currently trying to sort my microphone problems - otherwise my "rehersals" (i.e. me in me room playing away...) have been successful.

As soon as I have a mic I'm good to go.

Yep, listen carefully to the main intro riff and the riff at the end of each vocal line, they're the best places to spot it but I think it goes most of the way through. It's credited to Bob Holness (he did the sax on Baker Street) on the sleeve*.














*Not really, curse you Stuart Maconie, it's a woman called Sarah Smith.

Now see, that's a connection I should have been able to make meself...

I'm a Midlander too, and if someone has access to a room and some mics (I can probably rustle up a mate's spiffy multitrack - he's a great geetarist and singer too (shame he's got a mind like a colander for lyrics really - drugs are bad m'kay)) , I could have a bash (sorry) at some drum tracks.

...And some bass too.

Because they can?

They make their money from business licences - everyone else just gets it from less reputable sources.

True, true.

Time to start scouring the less reputable areas of the Internet I guess...

I'd try the place where everybody got their preview copies of the The WH, although I can't remember the site now (This isn't fake amnesia here, I really can't and it's annoying 'cos I could do with a couple of things off it for when I've fixed my friend's computer ).

[Velvet Presley]

Little Drummer Boy Dave's a fan of Mini nova and Pirate's Bay so I'm trying there.

Not that I condone downloading and such like at all, oh no.

I've actually ended up settling on Nita Nitro... that's what I was just about to post. Stand by for the first rough instrumental mix.

If you want, though, I can throw a drum track for Revolution together for you... see what other musicians we can scrape together for the rest.
