The Lovetown website is now able to present some complete Stephen Cummings songs
in mp3 form.
"I Need You Tonight" is the opening track from Love-O-Meter. "Satellite" was recorded during the Close Ups sessions but didn't make it on to the album. The original band version of this song appears on the Four Hours Sleep album More Of Her. "One Sweet Day" is one of the Firecracker demos that never made it into the album recording sessions. Percussion on this is by Peter Luscombe and I think Jeff Burstin plays some guitar on it. "I Want You To Want Me" is a studio outtake from Firecracker. Yes, the song appears on the album but this is a version which was discarded in favour of the beefed-up demo you may be more familiar with. "The Keys To Her Heart" is the closing track from Firecracker. It features Peter Jones and Peter Luscombe (drums, percussion), Bill MacDonald (bass), Shane O'Mara (left side guitar), Chris Cheney (right side guitar) and Ross McLennan (farfisa). "Love Is Crucial But Money, That's Everything" originally appeared on This Wonderful Life. This version is an acoustic re-recording from 2000 featuring Rebecca Barnard (vocals), Dan Luscombe (guitar) and Bruce Haymes (keyboards). |
