Whoops I knew i'd find one of these in my mailbox this morning. I went home last night & played the session & singing along i knew instantly it was LUCID & not HAPPY.

Sinister: Age....
by mlang＠inch.com 04 Nov '97

04 Nov '97

Jeez, you people are makin me feel old... I am recently turned 27 but I honestly feel about 19. I play synthesizer in a NYC Chamber pop act called the Favorite Color (we coined the term Chamber pop, It means cello based rock like B&S, High Llamas, the Left Banke, etc.). Of course, I have a job to pay the rent... I work for a rock promoter/movie producer but of course it doesn't help my band nearly as much as I would like it to. I do get to see Stereolab this week and the High Llamas the next for friggedy free. steven charles matrick ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: tigermilk in manchester
by Chris Worth 04 Nov '97

04 Nov '97

As regards trying to locate a copy of Tigermilk in Manchester, may I suggest that the best place to try is Vinyl Exchange. They have an extensive selection of rarities, and even if they don't have a copy, I'm sure they wouldn't mind ringing around. Details: age 19 occupation student loves er, music, doing as little exercise as possible this is crap; i feel like i'm doing a lonely hearts ad or something!! >From what I've read so far, the majority of people on this list seem to be either students or computer analysts, or something else to do with computers. Later, Chris. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

by John Stuart 04 Nov '97

04 Nov '97

I have a vinyl copy of Tigermilk, so here's the detials... 1. Owner: John Stuart, Roslin (home of Dolly the clone sheep) near Edinburgh. 2. Bought it in Fopp, Cockburn St, Edinburgh a day or two after the first Radcliffe session. 3. Mine is'nt numbered, so I imagine that none are. 4. It's kept in top nick and has been played twice. Once to record it to tape, and once to record it to Minidisc. ----------------- > why not check out what the average listee's age and occupation I'm 22 (22nd May - Same as Morrisey!) and work with computers & databases. My official title is 'Assistant Database Manager'. ------------------ >The first Belle & Sebastian record was made as >part of Stuart�s college course, and was released >in early 1996. It was called �Tigermilk� Was'nt it Richard who was on the music course at Stow? Cheers, John. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: who what where
by Johnston, John CT 04 Nov '97

04 Nov '97

hello gang I neglected to locate my Tigermilk when I registered. It lives with me in Hammersmith, West London. I looked anew upon it last night (making your tape John!) and found that etched in a spidery hand on the vinyl it said something like "tm (tim?) a masterpiece". Am I showing my ignorance here? Does it say that on all records - does it say that on yours? To identify myself - I'm one of the JJs on this list, I'm 27, I do intranet pages for a big computer company and I heartily enjoy a good cup of tea. hot love john xxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

RE: Sinister: TIGERMILK REGISTER
by Paul Dean 04 Nov '97

This is probably getting boring right now, but I've got a copy of TigerMilk... Having heard 'The State I Am In' played to death on Mark Radcliffe, I wrote the address for Stow down & then... sort of forgot about it, although i stuck the scrap of paper in the tape box which contained the Radcliffe sessions. Months later, stuck in Friday night traffic on the M1 - oh, happy days - i played the tape to my friend Jonathon Bibby, who - usual story - fell in love with B&S straight away. i told him about TigerMilk, & he scribbled the address down as well. Weeks passed & I started to hear all these stories about it being unavailable. So finally, in a fit of panic I wrote to Stow, & on the 26th November 1996 (don't ask how i remember the date, it just proves what a sad sack i am..) it arrived!! & an hour later Jonathon Bibby phoned, excitedly blabbing on about how his had turned up the same day. So i guess i'm pretty lucky. I heard a story that Stow had sold out, but then a few had turned up again so i presume that mine is one of those lost TigerMilk's. Phew!!.. so the short answer is one lives at my mums in Derbyshire (i was too scared to leave it in My flat in Wimbledon while i'm working here in Boston), & Jonathon's is filed away amongst many other top pop records in a small bedroom in Padiham, Lancashire (near the Manor Barn public house). ahhh, back to lurking S'later Paul. (who's favourite B&S moment remains the wibbling at the end of the sessions version of 'I could be dreaming', Stuart - 'The call us winsome, but we're just hopeless'.. Can anyone work out the rest, & what is an ARP van,,,,,?! >---------- >From: Paul Mitchell[SMTP:psm@Majordomo.net] >Sent: 01 November 1997 16:56 >To: sinister(a)majordomo.net >Subject: Sinister: TIGERMILK REGISTER > > > >On Sat, 1 Nov 1997, susannah wrote: > >> So, after getting more obsessed with Belle&Sebastian as each day passes I >> decided to try and track down a copy of Tigermilk.. >> I mean (I asked myself) How hard can it really be?
