Had an e-mail from KH saying that Previews and Rarities volume 3 will only be available as a free bonus disc to those ordering before Feb 1st (luckily I
hadn't got around to orde4ring the new Gilt Trip so I have now..!). Anyway this is of particular interest because the tracklisting includes:
1. Steve Kilbey - The Australian Night
Every Wednesday night, pretty much, SK comes over to the Illustrious KH Studios for some recording. This song was written for a up-and-coming pop star whom probably never even got to hear this track. Their loss. Well, our loss too, truth be told - their record just sold a million copies! Whatever, I love this song- I think one day it will be raised from the ashes and, who knows, may even be a hit!
7. Steve and Russell Kilbey - The Night is Very Soft
OK, here is one for the fans! Freaky Conclusions wasn't an album of demos - as none of the songs were ever fully developed - they were what they were - home recordings. Hear now a real and actual demo! For a song that made it to the Church Sing Songs EP - one of my favourites. That's Russell singing the second line in each verse. It's very different to the finished version but you can hear where they were coming from. Think yourself lucky to hear this one!
12. Steve Kilbey - I See Your Beginning
This may be titled I See You're Beginning - you try and work it out by listening. Another contender from Freaky Conclusions - I tell ya -there's another good volume of that stuff at the very least but ol' SK's not too keen on it. He wasn't too keen on the last lot to be honest, until it was all finished and sounded great. Like this one - well, doesn't it? This track must be from around 1984? Stay tuned - the next volume comes out 2012.
15. Steve Kilbey - Unfinished Kirtan for Krsna
If you were paying attention in the liner notes to track one, I mentioned SK coming over once a week to stretch his recording muscles. Well one week we didn't have anything else to work on so he started an album of Kirtans - sort of spiritual chants. This is as far as he has gotten - and it's not even finished. But what did he expect, leaving it in my care when I've got a rarities album to compile? Anyway - I thought it was a great way to end the whole thing - it gets stuck in your head and is probably a better thing to have bouncing around instead of "My Humps". But each to their own.
