An excellent pair of 12"s on Rotters from 2002.
It's been a while since there was any Weatherall round these parts. Well fear not - this pair should sort you out for a fix, along with a nice wee video - part three of your festive treats (let's brush over yesterday's wine-induced Billy Idol post).
Part 1 is all Weatherall and Tenniswood, under different guises, on SUPERB form. Part 2 also has them on the brilliantly titled A2, and they are working together on B3. It's not all the Swordsmen though, you get two Decal tracks and a tune by Craig Walsh.
An excellent package, Part 1 is all about the breaks and Part 2 is split between breaks and 4/4. Seriously - they are on top form throughout this package. I was annoyed to learn that both records are available on one CD, which features extra tracks. Grrr.
Regular viewers might remember that I went to see Mr Weatherall at Glasgow Stereo a couple of months ago. Well, I managed to find a site which was streaming a 16 minute video clip of that evening, interspersed with great clips of a revealing interview which was recorded at the Jury's Inn(!) in Glasgow. You can see me dancing about like a fanny on more than one occasion in the club, but it's a nice wee souvenir of what has been a vintage year Weatherall-wise. I managed to grab the code and download the clip from the site (I can't remember which site it was), and have been sitting on it for a while. Here you go then, uploaded to Sendspace as it's a biggie. It's m4v format so will play fine in iTunes. **EDIT** you can view the original article and video here, courtesy of the people over at EQ-mag.
This should keep the Weatherall wolf from the door for a wee while...

Thanks for these, good film. Like you say, revealing interview- doesn't sound like TLS have a future, or ended very pleasantly. Looked like a good night, but I'm glad I havn't been filmed cutting rug at such close quarters
I planned on posting the CD at some time, I'll get on it if you'd like the extras
Well I'm not gonna say 'NO' to that one am I???
Two excellent 12s for sure - the Hold track is possibly my favourite RGC track (& title!). Look forward to checking that video later. There's also the 'From The Bunker' Japanese CD which is Weatherall mixing tunes from the RGC catalogue... let me know if you want / need that one...
Yes please!
From the Bunker's great, got that on a trip to London a few years ago. If I had a blog I'd post it.
swissadam, you've just written your new years resolution...
Yeah, I know. Been meaning to get started. I just know how big a time-hole it'd become.
Cheers Calum - that's it done now.
Thanks for these Moggers. Came out when I was 21, I'm now 38. Still, better late than never.
