This arrangement by The Bastard Sons of Dennis.
Inspiration drawn from the Tyranny and Mutation and On Your Feet Or On Your Knees versions.
Recorded at 195 BPM. 

This song was always tremendously popular when performed live. There is a video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=M93gHi3DNFM

The crowd were so noisy that the band couldn't hear a note they were playing and had to hope for the best.

The Bastard Sons of Dennis: Seven Screaming Diz-Busters

I Don't Care Now by George.
From Volume II Side B of the Band of Georges.

Music and lyrics by G. Davies.
Composed 21st January 1983, 9:15 to 10:30.

Recorded June 1986.
Mixed October 1986.
Lifted from cassette March 2025.

Copyright © 1983 Explicit Music.
Copyright ℗ 2025 Wud Records.

Fun Facts:
As this song was being recorded it seemed to grow in stature from something that was pretty ordinary to something that was actually pretty good.
It is a song of healing, fortitude and moving on.
The key is E major.
This was the very first time that George had recorded two-handed tapping.
Several months previously a girl who George was deeply fond of had been forced to move hundreds of miles away due to a new parental job.
When the advent of social media many years later allowed them to get in touch again, it turned out the young lady in question was also devastated by the sudden move.
I Don't Care Now was never added to the repertoire of any band and remained a piece of personal therapy.

It was attempted by Laughing Sun in 1985 but never became a part of their live set.

Will I Still Be With You Tomorrow by George.
From Volume III Side B of the Band of Georges.

Fun Facts:
Will I Still Be With You Tomorrow is the third song for The Concept Album, and the second to be finished.
It received a slight lyrical update when George and Senga collaborated on this in 1986.
The chords in the verses are barre chords played in the same positions for each line, but using different shapes.

Will I Still Be With You Tomorrow

Band of Georges: Will I Still Be With You Tomorrow

The Pig, the Peg and the Egg by George (and friends).
From Volume IV Side A of the Band of Georges.

With the greatest love and respect to the amazing Ivor Cutler.

Music and lyrics by G. Davies/G. Barbe/O. Smith.
Composed 31st October 1984.

Recorded July 1986.
Mixed October 1986.
Lifted from cassette April 2025.

Copyright © 1984 Explicit Music.
Copyright ℗ 2025 Wud Records.

Fun Facts:
The Pig, the Peg and the Egg was written for fun by George, Graham and Jack the Frag.
It was composed in the evening at Flat D, 1 Grosvenor Place, also known as Wud HQ.
It is very much based upon a song called Barabadabada by Ivor Cutler.
During its creation, George's disgruntled girlfriend stamped into the room and yelled her displeasure at the trio of composers.
Undaunted, they carried on to the end.
There is nothing sensible or serious about this song, neither expressed nor implied.

Volume IV Side A

Band of Georges: The Pig, the Peg and the Egg

Песня За (Piestnia Za) Part 2 by George.
From Volume V Side A of the Band of Georges.

Music and lyrics by G. Davies.
Composed 16th April 1985.

Recorded August 1986.
Mixed November 1986.
Lifted from cassette May 2025.

Copyright © 1986 & 2025 Wud Records.
Copyright ℗ 1985 Explicit Music.

Fun Facts:
Песня За in Russian is pronounced Piestnia Za in English.
It means something like "Song for..."
This was the longest composition George created.
It is in four separate parts and these have been separated in an EP version.
Each part is shorter than its predecessor.
The first chord is a magical chord that suddenly came to George's fingers as he was composing the music for Indian Summer.
The EDP Wasp makes an approximation of the synth sound desired, but is not very close.
George finds the lyrics and vocal performance unlistenable due to being too emotionally honest and close to his 19-year-old's soul.
He still likes Part 1 and Part 4 though.

* For DIY musicians:

Looking to grow your fanbase? Here's a proven strategy for success. It's a bit time-consuming at first because you need to work at it often. However, the awesome results will make it worth your while:

http://www.wudrecords.co.uk/miscellaneous/be-discovered-on-social-media

That article was published in March 2017. While some of the links may no longer work, the theory absolutely will. Try it for yourself!

* Unfortunately...

Due to brexshit, broken britain, rip-off britain, corruption, lies and bias in the media, bigotry, racism, intolerance, polarisation, the fact that some of our family members would not be allowed to remain post-brexit, state-sponsored child trafficking (yes, that's right, we said it - it's pretty shocking, start reading from here if you don't believe it: https://forced-adoption.com/), an increasing sense of frustration and exasperation, and general total weariness of being treated with nothing but derision, ignorance and contempt by the entire shebang since the early 80s, we decided enough was enough and moved our entire operation from brexeter in the uk to begin our grand brexodus in 2017. We are now brefugees, living in brexile very near the border of the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. If you live in (the crumbling remains of) the uk, do yourself a favour and leave. The upgrade in life quality will blow your mind.

* What do we stand for as a label?

We support all independent musicians who are doing something we find interesting. Our team members all have formal music education qualifications.

We are against corporate brainwash muzak, their puppet friends in the mass media, and many other corporate activities. We will fight their desecration of music until either it stops or we die. 

We believe in helping others in the face of corrupt laws and a broken system. We are pro democracy, green energy and free speech.

We're politically liberal. We cannot support the republicans, maga or gun violence in the usa. We don't see there's any real difference, other than in name, between the christian far right in the USA and the taliban in Afghanistan.

In the uk we are broadly pro LibDem/Green/Labour/SNP. We are VERY anti-tory, bnp, ukip, and any of their friends and associates. We have no trust at all in the uk right wing press monopoly and the bbc. Beware the bbc and its claims of neutrality. It is the propaganda mouthpiece of the tory party. It even charges a propaganda tax called the licence fee. But we like Test Match Special and Radio 6, so does that make us hypocrites...? Hmm.

We support independence for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Cornwall. We support the individual and the underdog. We are anti-putin and his war, and pro-Ukraine.

Please notice the careful use of capitals. Capital letters imply respect!

We're only interested in the colour of your soul. Not your skin, hair or socks.

We like cricket! Most of us support Somerset County Cricket Club.
