From a Beacon Radio recording session.  This song started life with Mark's previous band,  The Movers.  The Movers' saxophonist Ted Townsend wrote part of it and demoed it on an unplugged electric guitar.  Mark wrote additional lyrics and finished it.   It was  in The Movers' set and later Red Shoes' live set, and here it is recorded in Wolverhampton on a 4 track with lots of overdubs of harmonies.

Performed by Mark Evans (guitar/vocals) Carolyn Evans (guitar/vocals) Derek Eynon (bass/vocals) and Mark "Wombat" mullen on drums.

It Isn't Over Yet, from the unreleased album "Something  Wicked" 1987.

Red Shoes: It Isn't Over Yet  (Live Robin 1 , 1995)

Moody, slower track.  Brisky Buxton wrote the lyrics.  I wrote the music, initially in my head, whilst sitting on Wolverhampton Station. It's a good spot for a bit of urban decay.  

Works rather nicely, very controlled, and I don't make a mess of it. 

Listen to the harmonies on the last chorus - we'd got it nigh on perfect by the last chorus, SO WHY DIDN'T WE GO BACK AND  DO THE REST AGAIN?   Who knows?

Night Service : Fighting Talk

Mark's comment on fame and such, such as it was at Hatchford Brook Youth Club in 1979. 
I mean, there were hardly paparazzi outside. 

It has elements of The Who, and also echoes of the powerpop of it's era, e.g. Eddie And The Hot Rods.  I have titled it with the date bracketed, this because we did it again in 1980, hopefully I will get that remastered and posted also.
