additional information
This was the first tape of two monitor tapes which recorded the state of New Gold Dream (81,82,83,84) on the 18th May 1982.

The recording is extremely drum and bass heavy.

All these instrumentals instantly recognisable and the composition and arrangements are almost the same as the final album. There are some subtle differences - especially with the two versions of 2 Part Song.

All the songs feature drummer count-ins and longer outros before the final fades (which in some cases are quite long and gentle and in others are quite abrupt).

additional information
This was the second tape of two monitor tapes which recorded the state of New Gold Dream (81,82,83,84) on the 18th May 1982.

The recording is drum and bass heavy but not as bad as the first tape.

All these instrumentals instantly recognisable and the composition and arrangements are almost the same as the final album. King Is White And In The Crowd also has lyrics and many subtle differences.

All the songs feature drummer count-ins and longer outros before the final fades.

The tape had obviously been reused at least twice because there was another take of King Is White And In The Crowd and finally the tape recording dropped out to a jamming session which included The Low Song.
