The Wanderer (Live)

from We Mean It by Dick Smith Band

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Finding old tapes , masters and demos that you thought had vanished is what this is all about !! DSB used to record in our own Teac 4 track setup in Wallasey England , we would do the sessions and pass tapes over to our sound man “Pab” . Luckily Pab stored a few of these tapes in air tight containers for 35+ years .

    We have been going through what we have, again with Pab, and sorting out what is any good and what is not ... this CD is the result

about

Recorded the same night as Motorway Madness Live in 1981 … The Wanderer was one of the first tracks that DSB did … PD wrote this before DSB started

I hadn’t heard this one for years either and was trying as I pressed play to remember what insightful words and heart wrenching melody I’d done for this one and fortunately there wasn’t one.. I sort of get going a bit but as I said about another track sometimes less is more.. who needs loads of words when you have That!!… I must have decided to slope off stage and grab a drink and I might have even just stayed at the side watching and listening… I think it was really clever of us how we avoided getting a record contract because if you saw and heard this live. as a promoter.. or a publisher.. or a manager.. You would have been totally captivated.. rubbing your hands with glee at the thought of future record sales and sell out concerts..of world tours and merchandising… how did it not happen.. DSB live… Mixed by Pab..who ironically became AC/DC main live sound engineer… How did it not happen…

lyrics

Gonna build me a castle of dreams
Gonna climb up to the highest tower
Like a tree in the fall
You are so beautiful
I happen to know what you are made of
