Do we know how many more other unheard outtake tracks exist for tighten as well as all the other albums including Bad II. I mean i dont want an accurate listing of course but would there be enough for a whole album ? or maybe more ?TeddyB Not Logged In wrote: ↑08 Mar 2022, 10:47pmNo, it was originally an outtake from Tighten Up Vol. 88.

I'm pretty sure Poontang was recorded. Also Return of the Great Mazuma must have had at least a demo recorded.NoMoreHugh wrote: ↑30 Mar 2022, 6:40amDo we know how many more other unheard outtake tracks exist for tighten as well as all the other albums including Bad II.

Re: Rob Peter Pay Paul
Yeah that makes sense seeing as US North got recorded Poontang must have done. I wonder if 1999 did as well ?. I am really interested in knowing if there is like albums worth of BAD material that could be released knowing just how prolific a song writer Mick is. He wasnt too generous on the number of tracks they released was he not like when he was in the clash.Heston wrote: ↑30 Mar 2022, 7:01amI'm pretty sure Poontang was recorded.

I have no doubt there will be plenty of unreleased stuff in Mick's collection.NoMoreHugh wrote: ↑30 Mar 2022, 10:15amYeah that makes sense seeing as US North got recorded Poontang must have done.

Re: Rob Peter Pay Paul
I was lucky enough to see them play both US North and Poontang live (Manchester International, February 1987). They both stood out for me, so I was disappointed they didn't get released back then.

Re: Rob Peter Pay Paul
Yeah great times i saw them do those songs too at the Astoria London i probably still have the ticket somewhere in the loft how sad am i :)
i cant remember the date though i think it was May so i am guessing 87 too
Again i can only echo your thoughts those two songs left me with a big impression too.
Did you see them on the first tour when they did Medicine show twice one was opening one was ending but called the encore version A fistful of miami vice. Bad made a massive impression on me and my whole life but i think i like them just as much now as i did back then and that includes Bad II which sound even better now to me . Yeah they get played everyday in this house.
Re: Rob Peter Pay Paul
That (or one of them if there were more than one) was my second ever gig (first was Big Country at Hammersmith Odeon.) I remember singing "Poontang poontang da da da" the next day without having any clue what it meant. My parents must not have known either.NoMoreHugh wrote: ↑31 Mar 2022, 2:02pmYeah great times i saw them do those songs too at the Astoria London

3 March 1987, so a week after I saw them. I think I still have my ticket somewhere too!NoMoreHugh wrote: ↑31 Mar 2022, 2:02pmYeah great times i saw them do those songs too at the Astoria London i probably still have the ticket somewhere in the loft how sad am i :)

I didn't see them on the earlier tour unfortunately but I have heard some recordings.
Deny kindly gave me some CD singles recently, so I have been listening to them. He is a kind, generous chap (he told me to say :) )

As soon as i heard US North i just knew that was a potential hit and i was gutted like probably you were too when it never got used or released until only recently . Its one of my favourite BAD songs and i cant understand why it wasn't on the album and in my opinion that album struggles a little for more songs like it with its instant likeability. Even the V13 had an inferior mix put on the album and i liked it for the different mixes as hollywood boulevard was similar but i never thought that album felt polished or complete like the other ones did. I still like it though but it would have benefitted a lot if poontang and US North was added.

Re: Rob Peter Pay Paul
Can anyone repost the 'US North' edits and remixes done by Marky and Heston in FLAC? I downloaded them at the time, but seem to have lost them.

Re: Rob Peter Pay Paul
That is so similar to me with US North and the only word i knew was "sometimes " it was only later with the help of bootlegs i had a better idea what to hum. Thank god i didnt latch on to poontang in the same wayoliver wrote: ↑31 Mar 2022, 3:20pmThat (or one of them if there were more than one) was my second ever gig (first was Big Country at Hammersmith Odeon.)
