Here’s a newspaper clipping advertising one of the earliest TCS gigs.
This was the first gig where the band played original material, and I’m pretty sure it was Paul’s first gig, maybe he’ll confirm this. Frank on vocals, John and Paul on guitars, Stephen on bass and drummer that night was co-lyricist and founder member Paul Forde.
Setlist that night was as follows: Drunken Chorus / Right Letter Wrong Square / Five and a Half Feet of Deceit / Brown Eyed Girl / Sorry For The Meantime / Lady Is A Tramp
‘Right Letter Wrong Square’ eventually became ‘Ask Davy’ and ‘For The Meantime’ featured on the b-side of the ‘Senses Working Overtime’ 12-inch promo.

‘I’ve Seen Everything’ 3-track 7-inch UK release.
Personally I think the ISE releases were an excellent series, using – in more ways than one – the artistic talents of John Douglas.
The paintings are magic.

‘Circling The Circumference’ 2-track 7-inch UK release.
I like the images on this release although I’m not sure where they were shot.
Update: The images are outtakes from the ‘Only Tongue Can Tell’ video shoot. The front picture is of George McDaid on a diving board in Arran. Thanks to majorfilmgeek for the info.

…is how I would describe the condition of this 7-inch version of debut single ‘Obscurity Knocks’. Apart from a few crackles it still plays perfectly. You can’t beat vinyl!
Still one of my favourite TCS tracks which sadly, is played live all too often.
