Kip's Notes:-

These are demo recordings of the songs that would later make the Beautiful South album Choke.
These were shared with me on cassette from within the band years ago.
As they were spread over two tapes I’ve compiled them here for you in one file.
You’ll notice some duplicate tracks and some cuts.

Remaster Notes:-

Once again audio gold from our friend Kip.
Can't thank him enough for his shares, a real gent & all round top man.
Tracks 4 & 7 just cut off so I did some fades for those.
All had some restoration & then some gentle eq & limiting.
These are the best versions I have heard,
still at times there is some hiss & rumble,
but overall a great listen & superb gem for lovers of B.S.

Very nice collection of tracks here.

http://wilfullyobscure.blogspot.co.uk/2008/09/sundays-reading-writing-and-arithmetic.html
Check out the link & blog for more information.
I have a summary below if you don't want to go there.
Audiochecker says these are lossy so they are in mp3.
I have done nothing to these, just passing them along.
Many thanks to the originator of these files.

Enjoy....

Original Notes:-

About two years ago it dawned on me that I had in my possession all ten tracks from Arithmetic in either live,
radio session, or demo incarnations.
Naturally that realization was the germ that possessed me to slavishly cobble together an "alternate" Arithmetic,
that I could substitute the proper album with,
minimizing the immunity I've have feared for almost as long as this album came into existence.

The two demos, "Can't Be Sure," and "You're Not The Only One I Know,"
were b-sides to part two of the 1997 "Summertime" import cd-single.
I'd love to hear more where they came from, but unless a deluxe reissue of Arithmetic is impending, I suspect not.
The stunning Peel Session take of "Skin & Bones" is more transfixing than the album version.
The three cuts culled from the Netherlands March 1990 show,
appear to originate from a soundboard recording - almost unheard of for collectors Sundays live shows.
"A Certain Someone" performed live on the Blind tour in 1993 was taken from a bootleg CD,
likely derived from a decent, if a little bass heavy audience recording.
Finally, a couple of representative cuts from the Sunday's Black Session,
recorded in France 1992 round out a thoughtful recreation of an album that I hope to never tire of.
Hope you like it.

Another gem for you from the R.C. Archives.
This one is a nice listen, took a while to sort it out, but all is good.
On the tape at the end was a Danish radio interview.
I have removed as much as possible of the Danish man & left what is there for your entertainment.
Huge thanks to R.C. for this and all his treasures that he shares.
As always hope you enjoy.
