DESCRIPTION:
Fifty minutes of the original ninety minute cassette that has been remastered by Bob Short.

That equates to eighteen out of twenty eight tracks from the original 96 Tapes release.

Originally Bob offered these remastered tracks for a KYPP post just in case anyone was interested in listening to them, as he has just spent a week or two trying to improve the quality!

I have now placed the results onto this YouTube channel.

My original cassette of 'Life After Death' I still own and treasure along with the 'Necromantra' 12" single.

I liked this cassette so much that I carried it around in an old army surplus bag for a couple of years...

My cassette survived a mugging down an alleyway near to Leicester Square where a kindly Scottish punk with 'Glasgow' tattooed on his cheek, and an equally kindly Scottish skinhead, took that very same army surplus bag off of me after waving a large knife around my neck and face.

Their haul consisted of a cheese sandwich, a few fanzines, a sandwich bag, my wallet in those days, full of small change (which in those days was not quite so 'small change', although small enough for me not to give a rat's arse).

The biggest prize gained, for their endeavours that night, was my Sony Walkman cassette player, which thankfully I managed to open up and remove the cassette as I was handing it to these kindly folk.

When these kindly folk went west (end), accompanied by my meagre property and their thousand yard stares, I placed the cassette into it's box, which for a change was in my pocket due to me placing the cassette into my Sony Walkman just ten or so minutes before (in hindsight) an ill advised wander down an alleyway in W1 (Shine On Me).

Thanks to Bob Short for sending me the remastered tracks all the way from New South Wales and also for the text that he wrote out to accompany that KYPP post.

Many thanks also to Andy Martin for the text he wrote on Blood And Roses and sent to me a few years ago, which was also added to the KYPP post.

The original KYPP post may be viewed below, along with the audio download.

Thanks to Tony D for the use of his original flyers and original transcripts of a Blood And Roses interview (later used for Zig Zag magazine) and a review of a Blood And Roses performance.

The photographs that have been used to accompany the Blood And Roses audio feature some of the people and places relevant to Blood And Roses.

Those photographs have been swiped and scanned from the collections of Tony D, Mick 'Lugworm', Min, Phil Ritchie, Stewart 'Jelly Fish', Mick Mercer, Tod Hanson, myself and the much missed Lisa Burrell R.I.P.
