Punters may recognise Parting Glass as a ‘closer’ from Mark’s solo career – but it was first recorded back with Hunters and Collectors back in 1988 with Paul Kelly! It appeared on the Raw Material EP, a promotional only 12″ record issued in America. Thankfully John Archer, our favourite bass player, kept masters of this EP in digital form for rediscovery 27 years later…! 🙂
This is brilliant. Any chance you can publish the live version of Say Goodbye from this EP to finish the record?
Good idea Nick – I’ll eventually do that! 🙂
Nice one. Keep up the great work Stuart! On a related note – I was always curious if the live songs on the UK Back on the Breadline single are from the same recordings as this EP? They both have “Back on the Breadline” but your discography shows a few seconds difference.
Hi Nick! I *think* it is – given the CD single says recorded July 1988; and the only evidence I saw through the vault of such a professional recording was indeed this gig…
