Track 0344: TOKEN ATTEMPT (Hodgson) 0:58 (THE MEALS) (16th October 1979)
Musicians: John Hodgson – guitar, Alan Cornforth – guitar
Recorded: Hartlepool Close Studios, Stockton (2 track reel-to-reel tape recorder)
Alan and I stayed close, we had a special bond because we had been in Adamanta Chubb, Blitzkrieg Bop, and now Basczax. We spent many nights either at my house or his listening to tapes, his bedroom was nicknamed “Jodrell Bank” as it was full of tape recorders, mixers, and all manner of little gadgets. We shared a passion for making lists, for keeping records of things, and we always talked about having our own record label. We had flirted with the concept when we sold the Blitzkrieg Bop “Scum 78” tape, and Alan set up “Animated Tapes” which handled the private releases of Basczax material, as well as local band compilations, an Amazing Spacefrogs live tape, even a solo acoustic set from Sav called “Master Of Parody” of which no copies exist anywhere.
As well as all this, we set up a side project called The Meals (me+al) and started recording tracks in his bedroom.
The first is just us messing about with guitar riffs, playing two guitars as we took advantage of the 2-track facility he had on one of his machines.
