Can someone help me with the chords, please? I'm sure it'll be easy once I know!
Easy peasy! Fun song to play. Thanks for making me make the effort of working it out. (Probably don't like me because of my brother?)

After seeing Marky’s lyrics, let me amend something I said. I checked my files and BAD did record the song in question. I have it as “In For A Penny”, though again Mick told me it’s “The Return of the Great Consumer”. I hadn’t realized it’s the same song. It’s like how “Tyson” was the working title for “King of the Ring” around the same era. Make of this what you will. Maybe the title morphed from “Mazuma” to “Consumer”.

Incidentally, this was not one of those earmarked for the proposed album of unreleased songs at the time of the 2011 reunion.

Or maybe "King of the Ring" was the working title for "Tyson"...

I didn't know about a proposed album, and wish it had gone ahead. Was there a track listing that was finalised?

These working demos/outtakes were compiled as a basis for a proposed album in 2011. As I've posted before, the untimely passing of Gerry Harrington, who was managing the band reunion in the U.S, put paid to the idea.

Rob Peter Pay Paul, Open Book. Dog in a Satellite, Respray Black Sedan, All in the Eyes, When the Wind Blows, US North [4:25 version], Godslinger, Goodbye to the Stone, Tyson, Night Train, Tramp 101, Flesh is Weak, Dream City.

Bit of a tangent, but it'd be cool to have a good soundboard recording of the BAD reunion after they added that second guitarist whose name escapes me. I have an audience tape of the show in Irvine (they did Rob Peter Pay Paul and I thought it was the highlight of the show) but that's about it. Some really phenomenal gigs from that reunion.
Lollapalooza was a great soundboard recording.
Does anyone have a digital copy of this they can send me? My dimeadozen membership lapsed a zillion years ago so I don't know where to find it.

Got this sorted, so never mind. What a band.
