"Some Music What I Like - Sometimes" - by Karl Hyde

[big screen satellite]

I've just received a music cassette that Karl Hyde made for a friend of his back in the mid 1980's.

Its a TDK AD 90 cassette filled with tracks that Karl liked, and wanted his friend to enjoy, accompanying it is a letter, handwritten by KH including doodles and a bit about the cassette, and how/why he made it (i don't have this yet - its coming under separate cover, with a KH hand made & hand drawn / doodled calendar).

The cassette tracklisting is handwritten by Karl - very neatly, and details the tracks and LP of origination where applicable....I haven't had the chance to listen to the quality yet, but this is what Mr Hyde was listening to around about 1985/6...all details are as on the tape....

A - "Some Stuff What I Listen To Sometimes"

1. Numbers - Kraftwerk (L.P. Computer World)
2. Kiss - Prince (L.P. Parade)
3. I'm a Man - Chicago (L.P. Chicago Transit Authority)
4. She Sells Santuary - The Cult (L.P. Love)
5. Somethingthat I Said - The Ruts (L.P. The Ruts)
6. Mercedes Benz - Janis Joplin (L.P. Janis)
7. Juicy Fruit - M Tune (12" Mix)
8. Highways of My Life - The Isley Brothers (L.P. 3+3)
9. Red Rain - Peter Gabriel (L.P. So)
10. The Beatles - Paperback Writer

B - "Some Other Stuff"

1. Suzanne Vega - Small Blue Thing (L.P. Suzanne Vega)
2. Village Ghetto Land - Stevie Wonder (L.P. Songs in the Key of Life)
3. Elenor Rigby - The Beatles (L.P. Revolver)
4. This is England - The Clash (L.P. Cut the Crap)
5. Walk This Way - Run D.M.C. (L.P. Raising Hell)
6. Still Alive An' Well - Johnie Winter (L.P. Still Alive An' Well)
7. Hell ain't a Bad Place to be - AC/DC (B Side to Whole Lotta Rosie)
8. Good Night Saigon - Billy Joel (L.P. the Nylon Curtain)
9. In Your Eyes - Peter Gabriel (L.P. So)
10. Memory Motel - The Rolling Stones (L.P. Black and Blue)

so not a bad collection, some classics, some mid eighties artists....and some strange choices?

you decide....

this is what influenced Mr Hyde before Underworld MK I surfaced....

more details & insights on Mr Hyde to follow when i get the letter and calendar....although i won't be divulging anything too personal...just in case

That's cool stuff, thanks for sharing.

Do you think Karl is embarrassed by this now? I know if I had tracklistings of my old mixtapes posted for all to see, I would be ashamed. I mean, Smashmouth. How foolish of me.

Thats awesome. How did you find this?

[holden]

With the exception of a few artists on the tape i've not heard of, that's pretty loaded with classic songwriters...nothing to be embarrassed of in the slightest, esp. for 1986! One could do a lot worse back then!

This is pretty cool, like a "Back to Mine" from pre-UWmk1 or post-Freur!

I got a pretty cool cover of this one:

6. Mercedes Benz - Janis Joplin (L.P. Janis)

I think far from being embarrassing, it shows that Karl had great taste in 1985/86.

I can remember one of the first indie-tapes i made in 1992. I think I still have it somewhere... i'll see if i can find it far from being embarassed by it, i know its got some classics on it however, in 1985/86 i hadnt really developed my tastes and was listening to whatever my brothers were listening to mostly (then again, Karl is older than me!)
