I Want You (Live 1986) - audio bods required!
Permalink  
 


Hey folks,

  I Want You only survives once as a contemporaenous Pulp recording (April '86 at the Maze Bar - thanks to Paul Mills for hoarding it and letting me circulate it!) but unfortunately it's missing a few seconds.

Running, as it does:

"Hey, you can look you can look just like anyone else / if that's what you want to do / I, I could laugh, I could laugh in your face if I want / Oh, but I'm not going to / When we met las[t week on Saturday / I couldn't make a sentence / I couldn't even say what I meant to say: That I] want you / I never thought I'd say I want you / I need you / It doesn't hurt to say I need you / I'll keep you or yes I'll keep you and I'll throw myself away away away..."

The bit in square brackets ("...t week on Saturday / I couldn't make a sentence / I couldn't even say what I meant to say: That I...") hasn't survived.

Does anyone have the nouse to either copy and 'graft' that section on from either the Freaks version or the Bad Maureen demo...or just lift it from later in the song (so it'll appear Jarvis is singing the wrong words - which wasn't too unusual anyway!)

  I'll upload a copy of the track if anyone's game!

Considering the sound quality I think splicing part of a studio recording into that live version would sound very odd indeed. Using a bit from another section of the song might work better - considering the sound quality most people probably wouldn't notice that the lyrics are wrong!

I don't think it's *that* bad quality - you can certainly make out the words, which is a mite better than a few of the other 80s tapes! I just wanted to make the jump less...weird really. Even eight seconds of tape interference or hearing something phasing in and out would be less jarring I think...
