"Right Here"

a Tribute to The Go Betweens

HIGHLIGHTS OF RIGHT HERE AND OTHER INANE TRIVIA

Flat Stanley 'Love Goes On' I actually asked Flat Stanley to appear after the deadline had come round. I received their CDEP in the mail and was quite impressed. I had offered them a spot on the bonus, but their blitzing version of 'Love Goes On' was so good I put as track Number two.

Smudge 'I Just Get Caught Out' Cosmic Psychos were meant to record this song but Smudge decided to record it without telling me (ultra good instinct). Most of the acts on the tribute had to increase the tempo of an existing Go-Betweens song, Smudge on the other hand slowed down 'I Just Get Caught Out'. It was also amusing having Smudge on the tribute, if you remember a few years back they had a slight falling out with G W over the 'Don't Wanna Be Grant McLennan' 7".

The Buzzards 'Was There Anything I Could Do?' Nik from The Buzzards used his 14 year old cousin from Ballarat to play violin on this track. She was obviously so impressed with coming to Melbourne to record that a week later she ran away from home and skipped off to Melbourne. The Buzzards corrupting minors? Also The Buzzards managed to change this McLennan song into sounding like Forster.

The Meanies 'Lee Remick' This was recorded the same time as their BMG Acca Dacca 'Long Way to the Top' track. I still think it's way better than 'Long Way' and it's certainly one of my fave on this.
