'DO THE OSTRICH' and 'WHEN I'M WITH YOU'

I've seen these tracks listed on NOOL but have been unable to locate them anywhere - are they available at all?

Welk

ask DT4!

I got them off Soulseek a while ago, but I no longer have them.

They're really good from what I remember, though they're live bootlegs, they're not studio.

They played 'Do the Ostrich' at the first NO gig I ever went to at Woolwich Coronet in 1987(?).

Didn't know what the fuck it was about then, and don't know much more these days.

Yup, that very performance (unless I'm mistaken!) ended up on a 7" bootleg, which also featured a live version of Touched By The Hand Of God and something else that I can't remember...

I do remember that it had a cartoon ostrich sleeve, and that I've got it somewhere lying around!

Do the ostrich is nothing special - has samples of Star Trek in it from memory. You know, the sliding door noise and "Beam me up Scotty" type of thing.

When I Am With You was performed once, live in Milan 1982 (I think) and is a cover of a band named Sparks (or Sparx?). It is a brilliant and loooooong cover version.

Seek, and ye shall find

If I remember right, When I'm With You is on the 'Chosen Time' live bootleg cd that crops up on ebay from time to time for about a tenner from Australia.

If I wasn't wrong, "When I'm With You" was released first time in a vinyl boot called "Blue Monday". Or not? I have a copy from this one.

Side One:

1. Blue Monday
2. Leave Me Alone
3. When I'm With You

Side Two:

1. 5-8-6
2. Temptation
3. Everything's Gone Green
4. We All Stand

Except "Blue Monday" and "We All Stand", the rest is from Rolling Stone Milan 1982.

Does anybody knows what's the concert the other ones came from?

Got a hunch it was Tolworth 83, but I could be wrong.

I've mp3'd WIWY,cleaned it up a little,send me PM & you can have it Done the encore from Aukland '85 too,the Untitled ( possibly Love Juice? ) track,same goes :D

TJ is right. Tolworth 83 it is.

I'm sure you guys all know his but the original version of "The Ostrich"is by The Primitives, a pre-Velvet Underground band fronted by Lou Reed. http://olivier.landemaine.free.fr/prevu/lrprevu.html

Ha...just dug up my "Blue Monday" cassette and couldn't figure out where the tracks came from. Thanks!
