On The 29th September 1964 Mick Jagger And Keith Richards Entered The Regent Sound Studios In London, And Recorded "We Were Falling In Love” Along With I Rely On You. A Hand Full Of Laquers Were Cut From The Sessions Which Were Intended For Demo Purposes Only." We Were Falling In Love" Was Given To The Manager Of Mark Wynter Who Was A Good Friend Of Oldham's, And It Also Seemed The Sort Of Song That Would Suit Marks Style, Although He Never Recorded It. 30 Years Later A Dutch Record Dealer Purchased A Large Selection Of Records From A Garage That Was Once Owned Dy Mark Wynter. Amongst The Piles Of Acetates, The One-Sided Laquer Of "We Were Falling In Love" Was Found. Virtually Unplayed, Mildew However Was Covering Over Half The Playing Surface. After Careful Cleaning It Was Digitally Re-Mastered Onto Dat Tape, And Then Cut Onto What You Are Holding Now. There Is Some Sorface Noise, Rut The Overall Souhd Is Loud And Clear. Many Thanks To Klaus Wijnen, For Allowing The Use Of This Track, Which Is A Further Piece Of The Fascinating Rock Jigsaw.

Bootlegger stories - Glasgow bouncers

Went to live in scotland for one year in 2005/2006 for studies. I’ve been doin’ bootlegs since 2001. Collectives & bands are usually pretty open when it comes to bootlegs, dudes like Capricorns, baroness, sourvein and so on are really cool & open minded blokes as long as I’m not runnin’ some business with it behind. Just before goin’ back to my loosy native country, I went to see down at the abc in Glasgow at the end of may. This has actually been quite a cool experience as I was prepared for recordin’ the gig of a band I always wanted to see live. I arrived very early on the location so that I could stay just in the front row. I started the recording when the guys went on stage. It took probably 30 minutes before the bouncer in front of me saw the mic I was using attached on my jacket. And this retarded moron just called his boss who took my mic & the md I was usin’ for that recordin’. He gave me that stuff back after the show. But what these monkeys didn’t realize was that the headphones I was wearing ‘round my neck where connected to another md (yeah, usually, recording with two sources allow you to have a better master/live sound). So at least I’ve the Down show in Glasgow ! death to monkey bouncers !

Bootlegger stories - Sepultura UK tour 1991

I had my camera taken off me at Nottingham Rock City last year at the Trivium gig. They have never allowed cameras in that venue and I have been going there since '87.
As regards to the band letting people film, sometimes its up to their management, if present. A few years ago (91) I followed Sepultura around the country on the Arise tour. I had just bought myself a brand spanking new Sony Handycam. I spoke to all the band members (and Sacred Reich aswell) and not one of them was bothered about me filming them. Unfortunately for me, Gloria, Sepultura's manager, didn't agree. She spotted me filming at the Birmingham show and confiscated my camera. I was also kicked off the guest list for the rest of the tour. The following night, in Newport I met up with Gloria to get my camera back. She really didn't want to return it. I then said that if she didn't I would call the police. She eventually backed down and handed it over (minus the tape). Unfortunately, that was the end of a decent friendship that had built up over a couple of years of watching Sepultura.
