THE LAST OF 2009: THE ALL OF 2010

The last tracks to be released in 2009 were on an album entitled

HELLO SINGING BIRD

It featured many of the tracks which, at later times, were overdubbed and/or remastered But there was a lot of hiss on the original tape and numerous attempts were made by different sound engineers to improve the opening track The best of the tries was released on May 4th 2015

1. Have you cosied back up to your domestic fireplace

2. Its too hard for me to keep myself clean

3. What the hell’s going on

4. No matter what I say

5. I’ve waited a long time

6. I don’t believe you care

7. You come on over me in waves

8. Where the last tide runs

9. As you wrapped the string around me

10. You led me blindly up the alley of confusion

11. Sail me like a boat

12. When you found out

13. I looked alright this morning

15. I need you - will you come home soon

16. Weave me oh weave me (Joan Ure)
