Ian Mcculloch - Live BBC Studios, London (1989)
This is some amazing audio from the magnificent and velvety-voice of famed Echo & The Bunnymen singer - Ian Mcculloch. Fuck this dude sounds amazing here, a shade of his former self after the Bunnymen break-up, but prior to his current spiral and slide (see ciggies and alcohol). Recorded on 09-28-1989 at the famed BBC Studios in London, UK, these songs capture the essence of the debut solo album, Candleland. All of the misery and heartbreak, coupled with the synth-y sounds of 1989. In fact, these songs almost sound like demos, the takes are different, the delays and fuzz popped and faster, the voice golden. Again, probably my best Ian Mcculloch find this year! You MUST download these if you call yourself a fan and if you haven't already stashed these babies on your "protect-at-all-costs" section of your MP3 stash. Notice the longer bridge in "Faith & Healing" and the dope ass real drums! If I was Bunnymen management, I would couple this live show as demos, add it to a remaster of Candleland, add "Rocketship" and the other B-sides, mix in the extended takes for "Horse's Head" that I have (see Candleland demos) and put thisout as a megga solo shot. Something to think about for sure, since the last re-release never made it over to these shores. Download and set me correct if I am not right. Big thanks to the big blog This Twilight Garden for the link and summer gifts!

McCrank! Great post. Love all the b'men/mac related stuff! In this description fo rthe BBC Studios recording, you tease and refer to having some Candeland demos. Where are they located? Please share w/ other Echo fans! Cheers in advance!
The Candleland Demos are just longer cuts of the album tracks. Mostly all the same as the album. Minor differences - hardly worthy of a post or is it?
