Eastern Terrace
Limited Edition Bonus Disc

Limited disc issued with the first 500 copies of Eastern Terrace

 

Noah's Ark (Sand Pebbles)
Live broadcast on 3CR's 'Blue Green Footprints' - February 17, 2001. A much slower take than featured on 'The Sand Pebbles' (CAMO42S) single. This version also has extra verses. Former Navy drummer Jason Robertson stands in for an absent Piet Collins.

 

Out of My Mind on Dope & Speed (Julian Cope) (3.45)
Live broadcast on 3RRR's 'JVG Radio Method' - February 24, 2002.

My Sensation (Sand Pebbles/D. Tawse) (3.30)
Live broadcast on 3RRR's 'JVG Radio Method'- February 24, 2002.


Dirty (Sand Pebbles/T. Fredheim) (4.08)
Live @ Erwin Rado Cinema, Fitzroy - April 7, 2001. Recorded at the launch of the Sand Pebbles single (CAMO42S). The band played in front of a kaleidoscope of cinematic images including '2001: A Space Odyssey', 'American Gigalo', 'Akira', bmx smashes and even acting audition tapes of the band members. Beck Zack plays piano while Jason Robertson sits in for an absent Piet Collins on drums.


Hey, Let Me In (Sand Pebbles)
The first version of 'Hey, Let Me In' in a radically different, slinkier form to the metallic version featured on the Sand Pebbles single (CAMO42S). It was used by Melbourne fashion house Phillips in a 1999 Melbourne Fashion Week parade. Murray Jamieson plays organ on the track.

Things Have Changed (B. Dylan)
Live @ the Cornish Arms, Brunswick - May 27, 2001. The cave comes alive for this pounding flower punk version of the Bob Dylan track featured in the 'Wonder Boys' film. The rough recording was done on mini disc at a night celebrating Dylan's 60th Birthday. The band also played versions of 'I Wanna Be Your Lover', 'Series of Dreams' and 'I'll Keep it with Mine'. After finishing the latter one punter shouted 'play some Dylan!' This raw rendition of 'Things Have Changed' was the response.

Rare Tracks

Terrascope: 'hanging out'

"Potbuster" is a CD given free with UK underground music magazine Ptolemaic
Terrascope #33 and features the likes of the Green Pajamas, the Land of
Nod, the Golden Dawn and the Sand Pebbles. The Pebbles track is a demo version
of 'Hanging Out' that Nick Saloman of the Bevis Frond calls 'a strange slice
of warped pop music - all very bright and shiny.'


Dream: 'the day summer fell'

USA's Dream magazine put out a free cd with issue #3 featuring exclusive
tracks from the likes of Jonathan Richman, the Dipsomaniacs, Jeff Kelly and
the Sand Pebbles. The Pebbles effort is a demo version of 'The Day Summer
Fell' - a song replete with tamboura, coconuts and born-again Christian
handclapping.


 


You Can't Hide Your Love Forever:
A Gene Clark Tribute
Back Street Mirror (Gene Clark)
A tribute to the ex-Byrd from a swag of Melbourne bands (+ one American, Joe Pernice). The Sand Pebbles contributed a phased, flower punk version of 'Back Street Mirror' - a track Clark never released himself but wrote for David Hemmings - the Brit-actor star of 'Blow Up' and 'Barbarella' - for his 1967 album 'Happens'. Clare Moore (drums) and Dave Graney (acoustic) helped out.

The Sand Pebbles returned the favour on Graney and Moore's version of 'Here Tonight' - a song written by Gene for the Flying Burrito Brothers that surfaced on his 'Roadmaster' album. Chris Hollow providing the liner notes for the record.

The disc can be purchased from Chaos Music

Pull Up the Paisley Covers:
A Psychedelic Omnibus

“Pull Up the Paisley Covers: A Psychedelic Omnibus” features the Sand Pebbles doing a version of the Masters Apprentices' 'Living in a Child's Dream'. Guitarist Matt Walker guests having his first crack at playing the sitar.
