Just over a week ago, the second 45 by The Wild Indians featured on the regular Saturday series.

That very same morning, I received a very pleasant e-mail from regular reader and occasional contributor, Leon MacDuff:-

Hello there!

Noting your regret at having no other tracks by The Wild Indians to share… happy to help! There’s nothing else to threaten the status of “Penniless” as their magnum opus but here are the three tracks from their previous single (and of course you may share them!).

I downloaded and listened to the three songs, and to my complete amazement, I immediately recognised Maybe, one of the tracks on the b-side of what was a 12″ only release.   But I had never heard the a-side before……….

Was it one that Jacques the Kipper had included it on what is now a long-lost C90 tape?  The thing is, I was more fairly sure that I knew a slightly different version of it.  Has someone I know covered it on record or played it live?   I certainly don’t seem to have any other version of it among almost 50,000 bits of music on the hard drive, so it’s something of a mystery.

It’s a wonderful wee tune, as indeed are the other two tracks kindly sent over by Leon.

mp3: The Wild Indians – Love Of My Life
mp3: The Wild Indians – The Biggest Man
mp3: The Wild Indians – Maybe

I hope it all helps to make your day the way that Leon did for me last week.

One thought on “MORE WILD INDIANS !

  1. The version of “Maybe” you heard is quite likely the live one from “The Deadbeat Tape”. Take a look at the comments under the Discogs entry https://www.discogs.com/release/8457984 and you’ll find a link which still works – it’s the entire tape as a single file, “Maybe” starts at 33:36.
