I couldn't believe it yesterday when in my slow-motion 'firing on about 1/4 of my cylinders' nick after the madness of the weekend an offer of THIS appeared in my inbox from 'David'.
After a nice wee compliment about the blog, he dropped this nugget: "If you're interested I have a copy of their Peel session somewhere. It's not the best quality but the nearest thing I've heard to a live set." YESSSSSS!!!!!
I replied instantly and came home today to find a linky for the set just sitting there. David - thanks a million, wherever you are. I've been after a 'live' recording for ages and according to the BBC blurb on it this looks like the real deal.
He's talking shite as well, cos the quality's magnificent for something which must have been transferred from old-skool audio tape. Three tracks which to my knowledge haven't appeared anywhere else in anything approaching this form.
Apparently Stanshall's Lament is a tribute to ex Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah band member (and a whole lot besides), Viv Stanshall.
I didn't realise that the Sabres were still doing new stuff in March 1995 - the only things that got released after that were the 'Versus' remixes and that rare-as-fuck Ysaebud single. It's all a bit puzzling.
Anyway - big thanks to David...

Sounds like a winner! Downloading now...
Last lot of posts have all been fucking superb, this has made my day though
Excellent, think I've got one of these tracks somewhere but not the whole session :-)
Thanks for this monster! x
Great post- on it like a virus
Thanks for this, it's amazing.
Stanshall's Lament is a perfect bridge between Haunted Dancehall and early Two Lone Swordsmen. Beautiful.
Great- been camping and return to this. Fucking superb. Ta v much.
holy crapola...work firewall blocking 4Shared url
Time to go home then, ah cannae wait another 3 hours
Thanks Moggie, thanks David
Hey Moggie & Dave, cheers for this. I've got most Sabres, TLS, Saberette etc stuff, but never saw them live. The nearest has been Weatherall dj'ing. So I'm really looking forward to listening. Keep up the good work Moggie yer post's a peach

Hey Mog, can you re-upload the meek 12"? Cheers David
The Meek link's still up. I used to use ZShare instead of 4shared. I just downloaded it there. If it's a hassle leme know and I'll fire it up on 4shared.
boss post, thx to both
Just stumbled across your site, I was looking for Rude Solo DC Fumes. Wow, what a treasure trove of 90's techno, you must have spent a fortune on vinyl over the last 20 years (or more).
I'm loving this Peel session, didn't even know it existed. A real shame these tracks never got released, I would love a Warp Peel session CD to go with the others. As someone else said, you can really hear both SOP and TLS in there.
Does anyone know why Sabres broke up? Was it a mutual decision, reached the end of the road or did Andy just want to move on? These tracks make we wonder what a 3rd Sabres album could have sounded like.
Anyway, I'm a bit giddy thinking of all the music I need to download from here, I'm going through a real Andy Weatherall phase at the moment. I can't believe just how much he has done, the man must never rest!
At last! I used to have this on tape but somehow lost said tape moving hoose. I had been searching for this for ages and had kinda given up on it. So chuffed to have found it. Many thanks.
