Your most wanted 'lost albums'?

Surely The Panic Report plays Robbie Williams’ Greatest Hits will finally be released soon?

It's just 10 tracks of Heston singing Angels at a karaoke bar. Which will make you long for the Robbie Williams version.

I dunno, man, you've amped up the morbid curiosity factor for me.

I guess kinda sorta the Troy Tate version of The Smiths' first album might qualify in this area? Easily found as a bootleg, but maybe an official release would have some unheard nugget.

That's a great shout. The debut album came out 40 years ago this month so they've missed a trick on an anniversary edition.

There is a Pablo Cuckoo version too. Someone smarter than me might be able to work out who Pablo Cuckoo was?

Right! There is certainly enough there for some kind of box set of the first album. I wonder how much the frostiness between Morrissey and the other two affects reissues.

Ah yeah! That's the one I alluded to earlier but couldn't remember what it was called.

I don't think it affected the full catalog remasters/box set from years ago, although a case could be made that they somehow hate each other even more now.

If there is one thing worse than Robbie Williams singing Angels then it has to be...

That's what I mean—things are much more openly hostile now. Previously, I gather, it was disagreements but workable.

I've listened to a lot of terrible music out of morbid curiosity. And I'm inclined to think that Heston would make anything better than a Robbie Williams original. Perhaps not actually good, but better.

In a studio I have no doubt his version of any Robbie song would trounce the original into dust. But a drunken karaoke version of a terrible song not so much.

Album title - Angels of the North?

There is a Dale Hibbert tape too that pre-dates the others. Could be quite a big box set!

Have you not read the KISS thread? Drunk Heston is *inspired*!

I don't think I know that one. To the Google machine!

I'd love to know this too. The tape was supposedly to give Troy Tate an idea of what he'd be working with so I would guess it's a colleague of his. It was recorded at Joe Moss' warehouse so not a studio person and no-one mentioned in Morrissey or Marrs autobiographies.

Apparently Brian Wilson recorded a country album in the 70s which is gonna get released next year: https://consequence.net/2024/02/brian-w ... e-pasture/

Can't help but think that after he dies, it's going to be like those writers that had a dozen completed novels in their desk that they chose not to publish (but their heirs see as a means of buying their own island).

I'm sure there are some wonderfully quirky completed songs about how to build a wardrobe or something and 1000 songs about the man better than Jesus Christ: Eugene Landy.

I will listen the hell out of that country record, though.
