This tape was recorded as separate tracks, the way I used to record the tapes way back when KYPP started off.\u00a0I run out of time on the KYPP site uploading in this way and therefore just recorded the whole cassette by whatever band was being featured on the site later on… All photographs are from my collection and show members of the band in the basement of 96 Brougham Road in Hackney where the tracks that appeared on this cassette were recorded.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Blyth Power with\u00a0 ‘A Little Touch Of Harry In The Night’, a\u00a0strangely\u00a0titled cassette influenced by the bard Shakespear on the wonderful 96 Tapes imprint straight out of Brougham Road in Hackney. \u00a0These tracks were all recorded underneath 96 Brougham Road with the help of Protag on the mixing desk. Not a lot of room under that house but the results are clear to hear on the tracks featured on this cassette only release.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The best cassette release on the label by a country mile and my favourite of all the Blyth Power material that was released from 1985 to 1987.<\/p>\n

A Little Touch Of Harry In The Night (96 Tapes)<\/p>\n

Thirteen hurtling songs, wrapped in a crew manual for a class 56 locomotive. What goes on here? Blyth Power has answers of sorts: ‘Just as Revlon killed the rabbits in laborotory tests \/ Surely we shall die of Sony Walkman video cassettes…’<\/p>\n

In songs like the classic ‘Some of Shelley’s Hangups’ and ‘Under The Seawind’ Blyth Power’s slyly wise words ring as sharp and abrasive as their guitarist.<\/p>\n

But elsewhere, well, many nights may well be spent in good-spirited debate centred around these strangely phrased tales of trains, mythology, history, cricket and metaphysics. And soon it may well make sense…<\/p>\n

As we recall the guitar chopped, jagged rush of early ATV\/Wire, we can also note just as often the small but vital debt owed to folk balladry by their jerky, midpaced gallops and Josef’s peculiarly English voice.<\/p>\n

Blyth Power – raw and uniquely exciting – are as good as riding bikes, dancing until stupid, baking bread, or taking drugs, whatever is your kick. Or near enough at least.<\/p>\n
