The Famous Dixons - RADIO ONE



1980-1982 The Radio One Sessions
Nighttracks, 1995
CD (CDNT 009)

Tell Me When My Light Turns Green
       This version is improved by Andy Leek's keyboard playing.
Let's Make This Precious
       This has a much better feel than the Too-rya-ay version. It was recorded in 1981 when the group was far more powerful.
Dubious
       Shows how the group could play.
Until I Believe In My Soul
       I much prefer this version to the one on Too=rye-ay which never sounded right, no real focus. I had forgotten what this song was all about when we came to record it, which is the reason for putting out this LP of earlier versions.
Liars A to E
       Well done Kev.
Jackie Wilson Said
       This sounds quite lively but it's my least favorite song on Too-rye-ay and is really only here to make up the numbers.
All In All (This One Last Wild Waltz)
       On hearing this version I remember what the song was about.
Old
       This has a better structure than the LP version.
