专辑简介
The set of Radiohead demos recorded under the band name "On A Friday".
"Around the beginning of 1991, a young man named John Butcher visited the Courtyard studio. In his pocket was a tape of fifteen songs made by a band that featured two of his former classmates at Abington, Thom Yorke and Colin Greenwood. It was the first recording by On A Friday. Chris Hufford’s response was one of reserved interest. "There were some good tunes but it was all obviously ripped off mercilessly," he remembers. The final track stood out for him, though ; he describes it as a "weird looped-up dance thing which was completely mental." Hufford was interested enough to ask for more."
"This tape is a collection of demos made over the summer of 1990. All the members were by this point at different Universities around the country, but reconvened over the summer, with the exception of Phil who was in Ireland, although at this time the band did not have a settled name, having dropped On A Friday, but not come up with anything better. The band's working title was 'Shindig', which survived long enough for Thom to spray paint it on his acoustic guitar case, but by the time of their next 'proper' demo, they had reverted to On A Friday. In order to keep recording and rehearsing a school friend who had recorded some previous demos for the band was drafted in to keep the drum stool warm. The Clifton Hampden tracks were recorded over a number of weeks with this line up, while Jonny took the four track home with him in between where him, Thom and Colin worked on tracks. When Phil returned the band recorded another demo track in rehearsal, 'What's That You See?', significant because it was the first time Jonny moved from keyboards to guitar. The song was the only one from this period that remained in the set up until just prior to the deal with Parlophone."
