 What’s In A Name!
Catalogue number: SPD1002
Released 1972
This was Pig’n’aif’s first release recorded in Sheffield in 1974. Being of it’s time, it was published in cassette format only. The musicians involved were Steve Atkinson (guitar, organ, piano), Dave Hobson (bass, vocals) and Pete Bangert (guitar, vocals).
Tracks are: Ciretose (Atkinson), Ditto The Two (Atkinson, Bangert, Hobson) and Cycles (Bangert). Tracks 1 and 2 are extended prog-rock numbers and track 3 is a melodic rock ballad. All of the tracks were early and determined explorations into original material and could well be re-worked into fully polished productions in the future.
Ditto The Two was recorded live onto an Akai 4000DS tape recorder, with extremely raw, but atmospheric, results. Ciretose and Cycles made use of the ‘multitrack Sound-on Sound’ capability of the recorder and were completed by Atkinson and Bangert respectively.
The album cover was another of Dave Hobson’s unique graphic visualisations.
The album was a very limited release and is no longer available.
