Title: Gordon / Situations Vacant
Label: Lyntone Recordings (Own Label)
Notes:
Recorded at Outlaw Studios in
White Label Pressing of 1000 copies. When Pete Stennet of
Small Wonder Records heard it, he liked the record so much
that he picked up the remaining copies for the label,
therefore later copies have a Small Wonder stamp on the

Notes: Recorded in Torquay - why The Cravats chose a hotel in
Torquay to record an album is anyone's guess, but for one
week the eight track studio located in the basement became
the launchpad for Cravats In Toytown. Salvaged at Outlaw
Studios,
Saxophone, Effects - Svor Naan
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Title: Precinct / Who's in Here With Me

B1.
Who's in Here With Me
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date Recorded: 23 September 1980
Notes: Producer - John Sparrow, Engineer - Mike Robinson, Studio
Richard Yehudi (Saxophone, Other Bits)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes:
Venue - Moonlight
Club - West Hamstead
Zeitgeist. Svor Naan noted I think this relates to the
second performance here. [the first was 6 February 1980].
1) a broken spring or whatever on my Saxophone meant that
some of the songs had to be dropped
2) a spot light so intense as to make the sun pale in
comparison. It must surely have been purloined from a football
stadium. It was certainly unsuitable for the size of venue. It
was impossible to look forward from the stage so I had to turn
my back throughout. A very miserable gig.
