This week on Ripped In Glasgow I'm gonna stick up a few tunes which have come to me from you wonderful people. First up is a trio of unreleased Sabres mixes of a group called Switzerland - featuring Martin Price from 808 State alongside Neale Johnson and Steve Caton, circa 1992. This arrived in my inbox courtesy of Ian from Manchester, who has been very patient with my inability to download from his iDisk.
So, it appears that Switzerland released two very limited EPs, and a third one under the name Pornography. I've now got all of them as well and will put up at some point. But - according to Ian these were never released, apart from literally a handful of copies, one of which he managed to get his grubby mitts on.
I've only had a chance to listen through them once, but it reminded me a bit of the three Bjork mixes, in that each one is a step up from the previous, and features hooks from the other mixes (if that makes sense).
Unreleased Sabres Mixes? You are spoiling us, Ian...

spankin! doesn't seemed to exist on the internet...and the internet knows everything. are we in for a shift in the cosmos?
spankin' indeed.. Can't wait to get back home and listen to these. I had heard about these mixes years back but never found a copy, or anyone who had one.
A word of advice to anyone looking to pick up a copy of the Pornography 12" - make sure you buy the Cadbury's label version rather than the plain white label, as the w/l has the same A-side mix on both sides (at least on the copies I've seen). The Cadbury's label release has the 'LMGSM' mix which is a stunning stripdown of the original, with heavier drums and scorching acid riffs. That's the one I always play. Bought my copy on release from Eastern Bloc, and still have the info sheet, which states a limited run of 800 copies.
Much obliged Mog...
Yep - the Cadburys version will appear here very soon, courtesy of Ian...
Top posts Mogs, and thanks to Ian for sending it across
Speaking of unreleased Sabres mixes, does anyone have the Black Sheep 12" mixes? I only bought the Annie on One comp for the Smoking with Sir Les mix, one of my favourite Sabres moments. Would love to hear the other mix.
Excellent post. Looking forward to the 3 EPs being posted.
