Looking to get a copy of STUMP's "A Fierce Pancake" ... please!!! anyone

No problem, Bryan.

Cheers

No really, I'm going to set it on fire. Wretched, wretched band. Seminal in the most literal sense of the word.

Can I have it if you really hate it that much in case my copy craps out.

You don't have the peel sessions handy do you - my copy of that isn't where it whould be?

Woohoo, it's up on emusic now! Haven't got around to getting it yet, so I can't comment on the sound quality, bitrate or that sort of thing.

Stump recently got back together for drummer Rob's fiftieth birthday.

Kev Hopper's own report of the fun (with pics!) is here (see entry dated 2007-03-30).

I never thought I'd see the day! But I'm glad I have.

Woah! That is awesome - must get this. Practically their whole output there, I think. At first glance they've only ommitted the Lights!Camel!Action! mix of Charlton Heston and it's b-side "Angst Forecast". It's great they have the track from The First After Epiphany compilation "Big End" because it's a hidden treat.

Yeah, it took me blummin ages to get it! It's on a Ron Johnson compilation.

Also, "The Rat"

I don't even know (or remember) that one. The first disc here is the really good one. The second one, not so much but there's great stuff on it all the same: Tupperware Stripper!

The second disc is the "Quirk Out" and "Mud on a colon" sets.

I think "Bone" is my favourite thing they did, but there's a lot here worth having.

"Bone" is a fabulous number. Probably my favourite too. I was just reading over on the C86 thread about how "these bands lack wit or intelligence" or somesuch nonsense and thinking "What the fuck? Have you even listened to any of this stuff?"

I saw the original album on vinyl for 99 cents in Seattle's Sonic Boom (the one in Ballard) a couple of months ago.

I think they've got every record ever released in that store.

Oh, the "general store"? Yeah. This was the littler one, across from Lombardi's. There's few things I'd rather do with a Sunday than browse around Sonic Boom, walk through the market and then have lunch at Lombardi's. Mmm . . .

Oh yes!! Is any of this stuff been remastered?

I need to get down to the Sonic Boom!

Two CD set!? Wow!?

PANCAKEWATCH: On the amazon.co.uk page for the reissue, a Mr Terrill of Shrewsbury says

The tracklisting here is wrong! It hasn't been finalised yet, but it will be a 3-CD set and will include 'Lights! Camels! Action' and 'The Song Remains' and more. It is hoped that the Peel Sessions will form a further release.

Content, me content? A pig in clover!

Who is this Mr Terrill?

Let's see if I can get some expert guidance here...

...

Do you want some really good news?

Oh sure.

Hi Mark
Nice to hear from you.
I've just posted details on my website about all this - but here is the text below if you wish to post it up on your forum

Best regards

Kev

More info on the immanent Stump release -it was originally set for early October but Universal Records have just taken over Sanctuary Records in the middle of all this and the place is in termoil as a result, with many employees being made redundant - so the date may have be delayed to early in the new year. Below is the track listing - (it's 3 CDs, not 2 as some sources say) and you'll notice there are many unreleased tracks that make up the 'Post Pancake' album. I'll keep you all posted.

So, funnily enough, no "Lights Camel Action" and no Peel Session, the 7" version of "Chaos" also not there..

However, the hard-to-find "Big End" and lots of unreleased stuff.. All good, as us young folk do say!

xpost probably...

I'm stoked to the extreme about this now. Too bad it's not till next year though. I wonder if the "post-Pancake" stuff is worth it?

I hope he really meant "immanent".

Had another response (to this thread) to pass on..

Hey Mark

"Lights Camel Action" is Charlton Heston. We all hated the 12" Irrestible Force re-mix of the song so it will not be included... are you referring to that when you say "Lights Camel Action"?

All The Peel Sessions will be coming out at a later date.

Cheers

Kev

Holy shit I just found a rubber band in my kitchen!!!

Thanks for investigating, Mark! :)

Actually, that remix wasn't very good. If it has existed on it's own it would be a curiosity at least but put alongside the original it's pretty inferior.

Agreed. Anyway, I have the 12" here, so I'm sure any completists can be brought to ahem hearing it somehow.

The multifrog Charlton Heston video has apparently been youtubed recently. Having only read of it in two-decade-old NMEs (and thus being very excited five minutes ago), I'm a bit disappointed about the lack of frog extravaganza. On the other hand, Kev is a bit hot, Chris is very hott, Rob has an bodhran*, and Mick as always plays lovable buffoon. (But really he really was a fantastic lyricist, wasnee?)

*) I have no idea whether this is correct.

"Down on the kitchen table, the cat is licking me and giving me its tapeworms."

This is not even a song I think about, or lyrics I've ever actively admired, but it's stuck.

I was just reading over on the C86 thread about how "these bands lack wit or intelligence" or somesuch nonsense and thinking "What the fuck? Have you even listened to any of this stuff?"

everything OTM; tarring c86ers with broad mighty-lemon-drop-brush humph.

WHEN WILL I SNUGGLE IN HEATHERS FOR SHELTER?
WHEN WILL I SNUGGLE IN HEATHERS FOR SHELTER?

AAAAH! I can't wait for this!!! Post Pancake stuff? WTF?

No wonder that they wrote and worked and tried out stuff up till the end is it? No, no it is not.

"The Lipstick Maker" was in some version on Kev's 1st solo album actchuerly.

"The Pool Song" off Stolen Jewels (the kev i mentioned above) is an riot.

youtube updaet: "Tupperware Stripper" on The Tube in 1986 or 1987. Apparently it was inadvisable to sing registered trade marks on this show, so "censorship" is substituted for "Tupperware".

bad pic, weak sound, but the whole thing.
better pic + sound, lacks first half minute or so.

They're a bitch to search for though, miles and miles of Fall Out Boy and softcore amputee pr0n...

Charlton heston, great pic/sound, and 30 seconds longer than it should be.

Yup I linked to that six posts above you ;)

Can I do the bolded caps great lyric quote thing again, because that felt so good?

TO THOSE GREENING AGREEABLE ARABLE ACRES!

Oh my god you guys are flipping my wig. I feel like I'm 15 again.

Fucking hell, I was singing "Roll the Bodies Over" to myself on the way home.

It must be FATE.

a pig in clover!

So, *is* that 3 CD set out yet?

anticipateanticipateanticipate

Woo!

listed in this week's sister ray mailout:
STUMP: Fierce Pancake & Beyond, Complete Anthology Dbl CD 11.99

double?

twas to be triple last I heard!

.. which it is.

Ordered from 101CD. £9.95 or so.

.. and I just got notification that it's SHIPPED!

Oh man. This is exciting news. Kev Hopper is among the most unique fretless players. Let me know how the first and third CDs are! I'll be ordering my copy soon.

..it's here!

Does this mean that "Charlton Heston"'s going to be number one next week?

CD3 is a fine collection, really works as a 'great lost STUMP album'

Kev Hopper's notes say that they were pulling in different directions with those last demos, but they always did (check Quirk Out!)

Duly ordered hurrah!

"..it's here!"

Bastard! How come 101CD have managed to get it in and ship it out again, and Amazon and Play still don't even seem to be sure when they're going to be getting it in?!?

All three tend to get an initial amount of these sorts of things, (or don't, obv), and when they sell out, don't reorder.

But I've had the sodding thing on order with Play since 27th September last year, when you first mentioned it!

Never used 'play' myself, so I can't say.

Would somebody care to comment on the non-Fierce Pancake tracks? Mark, what does CD3 sound like compared to Pancake?

I refer you to the comment I made earlier today.

Soundwise? um, they don't have tons of reverb, um, they don't sound like demos, um, um, that's it.

Should I cancel amazon order due to noninstockexistence, and if so, where should I order? Am an bit X( due to years of waiting & hoping & cetera...

Huzzah dispatched now!

So I have this thing. Pretty good.

Excellent.

Kev Hopper did speak of a follow-on "Peel Sessions" CD, and there are certainly enough sessions to make a decent sized disc with more other unreleased songs.

To that I say 'hellz ya.'

I should have sold my $2 LP at the peak of STUMP FRENZY, shouldn't I. (I love it and all but I'm broke sometimes and have mp3s as well.)

Received! I haf Quirk + Mud digitally ie I do not have to run about house to find!

I stand by Mick = grebt lyricist stance taken above btw.

The LP never scaled value heights.

The CD was on sale for silly money, but I don't think anyone bought it for £100...

xpost blimey! thread doesn't move for an hour, I start typing, hey presto xpost!

And don't goooo mad
if your goooonads

they're for breeeeding

ALWAYS HERE MARK G NEVER FORGET ECT! ;D

Peel anthology would obv be very welcome; offhand I only know of one song that was not released elsewhere: a cover ("cover") of The Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction". It is actually mainly the words to said well-known hit placed upon the accompaniment of "Heartbreak" from Pancake. Had not Andrew F placed a ban on ysi shenanigans many years ago, I would have directed you here.

Oh, the agony, oh how dare you.

(Andrew G, rather. And he is no longer involved with ILX. But YSIing and the like should still need to be limited at best.)

Yeah, it's a good job we don't do that kind of thing anymore. What would we be like! (ta)

Andrew G you say? ok then..

F slash G -- one step on my keyboard.
N slash F -- knight's leap on my keyboard.

Ah, you are probably right. But surely noone is as daft as to try to circumvent the Laws of the Land? I wouldn't normally do this type of thing.

I have finally embraced the unbridled joy that is Stump. Why is the 3cd Anthology impossible to find, it only came out 6 years ago!

Ah man, Mick Lynch has passed on:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tcsf-FUWAc

.

That's awful, too young.

I managed to find that box set and very glad I did! Great stuff, they sure liked Captain Beefheart.

RIP, he had some sweet moments

fuck it, that's really sad. was he ill or something?

Man, I just found out about this, RIP Mick, a sad day.

Ah no, that's terrible news. Second band I ever saw live and one of the best. Love you, Mick.

This makes me sad. RIP Mick. To the "onstage charisma and natural charm" of the obituary I'd like to add his accomplished lyrics, which I think manage to marry the formalist and the vernacular in some deeply original and distinctive way I cannot quite describe.

yes definitely. this is maybe my favourite example:
