Just added another MP3 -- "Daydream" -- to the odds & sods section. I *think* we might have recorded this for the "The Magic Shoebox" demo tape, but the artwork (which listed "Fallen Angel") had already been done, so it was left off.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you'll care to look to your right, you should see 13 new MP3 tracks full of aural delectation :-)
The "Bridge to the Stars" EP is the initial mix of what was supposed to be the follow up to the "Reach the Stars" EP but, for one reason or another, it never made it onto vinyl. It was only years later that I noticed I'd probably ripped the bassline for "Weird" off from "Lazyitis" by the Happy Mondays! :-S
"Tight as a Gnat's Chuff" was recorded in April 1991 as a live rehearsal session at Beaumont Street Studios. The utter shame of screwing up the bassline on the first track still haunts me! The cassette tape had a major volume drop out on "I Can Do Everything", so the MP3 version is a carefully created edited version -- see if you spot can where I hastily chopped a huge chunk out ;-)

Matt got in touch with me last year, and I've been trying to unearth his email address for the last couple of days. I honestly can't remember the last time I saw Nick, although I've got a feeling Matt had been in touch with him.
I did put together a web page about The Headmen in 2002 in which I stated "Nick now sells products over the internet", although I've got no idea where that information came from, nor what kind of dodgy products he was selling!!!
I do know that Matt was in another band for awhile and then he took a year off to travel around the world. I think he sent his last email to me from somewhere in Europe?

Does anyone know the whereabouts of Nick and Matt and how we might get in touch with them? They may not want to be contacted but you never know...
