background
Raggae was the second instrumental demo version of I Wish You Were Here
and first appeared on Jams #1 which was recorded
at Barwell Court in January-March 1985. It had been demoed for Sparkle In The Rain as
Old Chapel Song #6 but was given the title Raggae
for the first time on the Jams #1 tape box.
It was a fast-tempo instrumental and featured almost all the elements and arrangements of the final song.
The first take was false start, but the second take featured the entire song before coming to
a hesitant end. The third take was slightly slower and looser with more improvision before its sudden
end in studio chat. The fourth and final take of this session was the most accomplished and
complete but the band still had to work out a coda and satisfactory ending.
The fifth take (which appears on Jams #2) is almost there
as the coda is now in place although Mick is sitll improvising. The
next take included lyrics and Jim announced it as
Footsteps.
