The Final Session
Obviously this is one of the most important pieces in my collection as it is the bands last ever session before they split up in 1993. These tracks show that they were still working on some good tunes at the start of the year as this tape is from February and it is a real shame that it all had to come to an end when it did. My tape is only the instrumentals but Horse told me himself that he was pretty sure there were some vocals done for some of these songs but he didn't know what had happened to them or who might have the tape. If anyone out there has that tape then PLEASE get in touch, I would appreciate it massively.
Also, there is actually a couple more songs on the tape that are not written on the inlay. Snippets of them all can be found below.
Also here is an interesting article referecing the session and the songs the band were working on:
Well the session is from Feb 1993 and the band were technically trying to hold it together at that point. I guess Shaun liked some of this stuff and decided to use it when it came to doing the first grape album. Horse told me he was sure there is a version of this tape with some lyrics on but ive never managed to track it down unfortunately.
My guess is this is early Black Grape rather than Mondays? Track 8 very similar as to what they are rehearsing at the start of the Grape Tapes. Horse was with them at that point.
