Let's hope Pete remembers the song, it'll be interesting if it was intended to go on the Long Grass LP or maybe as a B side.

Derek--Got the cd this morning--that was quick--thanks a lot--Ian

Being somewhat a Rats expert--I'm 99% sure i havent heard this track either live or anywhere else before.Did see them a couple of times on this tour so i could be wrong but i don't remember it.Great dance track though like most of the stuff around that time.Also some different versions of other tracks--great thanks

Laibach · Someone's Looking At You

I was at that gig and have had the tune to the Doing It track in my head all these years, not surprisingly it turned out to be quite a bit different to how I remembered it but its a great track. I don't think it would have fitted in with the songs on In The Long Grass, I think it would have been more at home on V Deep, perhaps it was written for that album and not used, or maybe they thought it wasn't good enough or as I said didn't fit in with the other tracks on In The Long Grass. It would have made a good b side. Thanks to Derek for the CD.

Hi Guys , I know I stay below the radar but would love a copy of this cd , remember seen the Rats Golddiggers Gig on the telly before in the Long Grass was released and loved the show , taught the band were on top form and fighting for there lives.

This may be a time for us to get our heads together and track Rats Set Lists as in the past I taught that they were a bit lazy and relayed heavy on Fine Art of Sufacing ....Nothing happened....Pic Taken.... Mondays....Someones Looking at you...Keep it Up with Joey and Rat Trap into the Mix.

Derek The Dane · V Deep

There are more cds on the way,they were sent from Denmark this morning.This will be the last time I send any cds as it is to time consuming and expensive(I spent nearly £30 on postage just this morning).I hope you enjoy the cds.
The cds are from the Fine Art Of Surfacing tour(Norway) and Bongo Over Europe(Germany).

Many thanks for the CDs, a great surprise when I went through my post late last night on returning from holiday.

Should anyone else want the CDs contact me via PM and I can arrange a UK based delivery and save Derek the considerable cost of posting from Denmark.

I heard it on Bongos Over Britain @ Hammersmith Odeon (as was) back in 1980. I regret not seeing them on the final tour in 1985, but I was at University then and oddly 1982-1986 is all a bit of a hazy memory. Sadly they never did turn up at our University, but Sweet did at around 1am when most of the audience had gone. One of the best gigs I ever went to. Also regret missing the 1978 tours, as I couldn't get tickets. I first saw them in 1979 as I knew someone on the door at the Rainbow. Don't tell Geldof, he'll want the fcuking money for the ticket!

I have sent 2 cassettes to my friend to record onto cd.1 is a BBC interview of the early Rats days and has about 30 seconds of "My Generation on it and a demo of Neon Heart(I think) and the 2nd is some songs from a concert from the USA and includes Never In A Million Years.I will let you know when I get them back.

Hi Derek

Just wondering if Pete ever got back to you about the unknown song (Don`t Feel Like Doin It?).

If it's any good, maybe they could practice it for Cheltenham?!

Derek The Dane · V Deep

Sadly,never got a reply.I will try again.I have Petes email.I have got some old tapes recorded onto dvd and that is my next project to send out.Just having probs re-recording the dvds at the mo,not sure whether my computer settings are right.

Mark L · Loudmouth

OK - thanks Derek, keep us posted.

Derek The Dane · V Deep

Still busy recording cds onto my computer and nearly finished,just need to find out something about these dvds I have.Will keep you all updated,got some live stuff from USA,Norway and some BBC bits as well.
