This is a posting I didn’t intend to make….but I’ve been inspired to do so by something I’ve just read on another blog.
The above sleeve is from a CD single from August 1994 – Be My Light, Be My Guide by Gene.
Technically, the track I’m putting up isn’t a b-side. The release was seen as a triple-A side, but that’s just not going to happen.
Gene were tipped for huge things, but it never quite worked out as expected. There’s a fabulous assessment of their debut LP over at Jamie’s Runout Groove. It was reading those thoughts that led me to fire-up this additional posting before heading out for the evening.
None of the songs on this record made the debut LP, which is a bit of a shame as they’re all pretty splendid. But I’ve gone for the third track, which remains to this day, my favourite Gene recording.
