WITH LOVE FROM THE EASTER BUNNY
Easter, like Xmas, is a time for giving. And I thought you might be interested in these rare tracks, taken from the 12" release of Seven Seas back in 1984.
They were all recorded for a mid-80s Channel 4 programme called Play At Home, which from recollection was a 45 minute documentary on the band filmed around their favourite haunts in Liverpool. These particular tracks were recorded in Liverpool Cathedral. The cover version is priceless, and despite the wierd opening and ending, I think this is a fantastic version of Villiers Terrace. Listen closely and you'll learn that the Cathedral wasn't the first choice to record the songs......
mp3 : Echo & The Bunnymen - All You Need Is Love
mp3 : Echo & The Bunnymen - The Killing Moon
mp3 : Echo & The Bunnymen - Stars Are Stars
mp3 : Echo & The Bunnymen - Villiers Terrace
Thanks to Liz over at Roaring Machine (now sadly no more) for inspiring this little bit of whimsy, partly through her own Bunnymen thing from a a couple of days ago, but for quality of stuff she has posted this past 10 days or so which I only got round to looking at earlier today.
Happy Chocolate Day everyone.
April 2010 update. Here's the fantastic promo for the single:-
Even better.....here's some footage from the TV programme I refered to back in the 2007 posting:-
