Smith Research Vinyl, lathe-cut, CD and CD-R releases, 1998- 2006

SRV 7 MICHAEL A CLARK - 138 Years And Counting - CD-R, 23 numbered copies, 1998 - this was a digital mastering of a spoken word cassette produced in 1982 by the 'Christian Israel Foundation' of Walsall. The recording was sent to me by the OKOK Society, I found the delivery and content perversely fascinating and back in the days when CD-R was a novelty decided to release it.

SRV 11 THE CERAMIC HOBS - *MAY BE TRIGGERING* - CD-R, 50 unnumbered copies, 2005.
SRV 12 THE CERAMIC HOBS - Summer Hob Days - CD-R, 15 numbered copies, 2006 - partial reissue of SRC 1 - later reissued in different packaging by Monopolka. There was never a tracklist for these very first recordings by the Ceramic Hobs which was just myself and Steve Lambert at the time. The other side of the original cassette consisted of prank phone calls - you can hear an example of these on the Jara Discs CD 'It's Good To Talk' released in the mid-90s. The last track on this is an excellent recording of our first ever gig at Lytham Library Buildings on September 14th 1985 - see ceramichobs.livejournal.com for a poster of the event - we were joined by friends from school for this, none of whom could play or owned instruments. Some of this stuff makes me cringe (although we were only 16 at the time) but some of it is fairly inventive musique concrete with added absurdity - download: http://rapidshare.com/files/172430972/The_Ceramic_Hobs_-_Summer_Hob_Days_SRV_12.rar

SRC 13 THE CERAMIC HOBS - Fishbread Miracle
This tape marked the start of 'Phase Two' of the Hobs (we're currently in Phase Eight) and a temporary hiatus for the Smith Research label. Steve L and myself were joined by some musicians who owned and could play instruments - Syd Green, Phil Crozier, Alan Pill, Andy Pearson - and these recordings resulted over two semi-improvised afternoons. We carried on for another two years after this and went on to make better recordings, most of the 1987 stuff featured a drummer called Steve Bond, he was replaced in '88 by Steve Massey on drum machine. Some interesting overloaded live-to-cassette psych-noise appears on this first attempt - download: http://rapidshare.com/files/172446216/The_Ceramic_Hobs_-_Fishbread_Miracle_-_SRC_13.rar
