This is what they want. Track
listings as below, I have included comments for each track. You may notice that the disc
contains several unreleased songs including"Empty Dreams' which was meant to be a
single. Other highlites include' The British Way of Life ' with the Who's brass section.
There are several songs not included, such as 'The Red, The White and The Blue' and
'Nowhere Land', the reason is that these songs where never finished and are purely demos.
This CD release empties the studio tracks by the band. The only
unreleased tracks that I know of now are the BBC sessions. Several of you have contacted
the site saying you have alternative versions of Maybe Tomorrow with different lyrics,
these must be the Kid Jensen sessions and should be available soon on Detour records.
Details to follow.

GIGS >>>>>>
To start with yes the Chords are
doing a gig on the 25th at the Rhythm Factory London. The problem
for us is that it is invite only and the invites are only available
from the book publishers. The Book title is 'MOD, a very British
Phenomenon' and is written by Terry Rawlings. It features the history
of mod and is meant to have many pictures, from what I can gather
it is like the MODS book but with up to date pictures etc...
If you would like the chance to go, go to the 'contact
us' page and fill in the comments box with your , Name and Phone
number on which you can be contacted at short notice.
Talks are underway for several larger scaled gigs next year. At
the Astoria next year there is to be a two day festival, bands rumoured
to be booked already are, The Purple Hearts, Undertones and others..
Website additions >>>>
New parts to the web site this month are:
Billy scrapbook. Two pages
of pictures from Billy's scrapbook. Many pictures I have never seen
before. Highlights include pics from first gig with Paul Halpin
on drums, the first proper photo shoot on London Bridge and many
others. Find it in the pictures sections on this web site.
Dennis Munday, he of the
Jam and Polydor has written a nice piece about The Chords. Find
his memoirs in the interview section.
Downloads
I have employed a designer to start making wallpapers and screensavers for you to
download. At the moment there is only a wallpaper available. The next thing to be
developed will be screensavers, to follow are posters and tshirts.
