additional information
This undated tape is simply titled "Jams 2." There’s no date or studio information, but from the tape
contents, then it was probably taped at Barwell Court during the band's second stay (January-February 1985)
as many of the songs have moved to recognisable early Once Upon A Time material.
It is the second of three tapes.
Most of the songs are instrumentals which suggests this material was recorded early in 1985 before
Jim's stay in Nice in April/May 1985, when he wrote the
lyrics for many of the tracks. However, Footsteps (which was
the final demo version of I Wish You Were Here)
includes lyrics and is almost complete.
The track naming is inconsistent between the two tapes as Someone Sequel refers to two
different songs across the first two tapes. So, I’ve stuck with
Someone Sequel for the precursor of
Alive And Kicking; and
Someone Somewhere In Summertime for the reworking of the
New Gold Dream (81,82,83,84) song.
