Pig’n’aif Mk I, II, III, and V
Catalogue number: PNF01-CD01 Released 03/10/99
This CD comprises back recordings of a number of the lineups of Pig’n’aif over the years. All of the versions of Pig’n’aif included Steve Atkinson and Pete Bangert variously on guitar, vocals, keyboards and percussion.
The Mk's II and III line-ups of the band included Dave Hobson on bass. Mk III also included Tim Evans (drums) and Roy Leckey (vocals).
Tracks were recorded variously in Steve's studio, at the Oughtibridge Silver Prize Band Rehearsal Studios (or 'The Hut' as it may be more accurately known) and Pete's studios between 1969 and 1980. All of the items were 'Engineered and Produced' by Steve and Pete on various 'noddy' pieces of equipment ranging from handheld tapes to Akai and TEAC semi-pro gear. The surviving tapes were in a poor state so re-edit and transfer to CD was perpetrated by Pete. Some may say this was a crime too far and Pete should be soundly emulsified in alcohol for carrying out this activity. However, in fairness, this was a very limited distribution and not for resale. (He would probably have enjoyed the punishment too much anyway).
