Album version, 2'17.
Recorded as The Dukes of Stratosphear.
Released on Psonic Psunspot.
Andy: “Colin wrote ‘The Affiliated’ for our next album but wanted to do it quick before we got bored with it, so changed the character of it to be slightly more Ray Davies. The middle section was an attempt to be like Unit 4+2's ‘Concrete And Clay’ percussion, acoustic guitars, a slightly latin feel.”
Andy: “There's a bit of whispering after ‘The Affiliated’ — that's the two little girls Lily and Lila Fraser in the control room, and they think we're not listening to them, like the Mothers of Invention thing, but we left the mic running, I don't know what they're saying to each other but you can hear them whispering and it's only in one channel of the speaker.”
Gary Pig Gold: “A Mini-Opera! More minor-chord Beatles (‘Cry Baby Cry’) / ‘Dating Game’ and Byrds break in middle.”
[THIS SPACE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]
Pubs and clubs and opening hours
Was all he knew
One arm bandits and Affiliated members
Women taboo
Had his own tankard
And the evening Standard
And a trophy from darts
That he kept over the bar
He'd nothing to fear
He had his beer
B-E-E-R!
Then came her
Through the blur
Then came she
Made him see
He saw the light before he'd finished his pint
She saved him from the biggest crime in life
They hated her
They said you'll never see him again
Got a mortgage 'round his neck
And eight screaming kids
But his seat's always here if he wants it

Hi !
Here's the bass tablatures for the 11 (great) songs from the classic "Black
Sea". A lot of repetitive bass lines, but also some tricky parts.
Sorry if there's any mistakes, and I hope you'll enjoy those basslines as
much as I do.
Cheers,
Florian.

For anybody who wants them, I have attached two .pdf files. One is the vocal parts for "You're My Drug," which are downright challenging. The other is the guitar duet that comes in towards the end of the B section of "The Affiliated," complete with tablature. J. D.
