Third Spain - Final sessions


Third Spain lasted almost exactly a year after being joined, post LP, by drummer Rick Joslin. During that time, they played a number of times around north Wales, together with a gig in Manchester's International club, run at the time by the legendary late Roger Eagle.

Throughout their lifetime, they never stopped producing new material and this post features the songs that constituted the sets that they were playing towards the end of their lifespan, recorded at two sessions, on July 3rd and October 25th, at their headquarters in the back room of the top floor at 5 Regent Street, Upper Bangor during the latter half of 1986.
None of these songs have otherwise been released in any form.

The whole of Regent Street was later demolished to make way for a monolithic new psychology department for the University. The space where these recordings were made now lies within a teaching facility, where the ever diminishing traces of these notes play within the minds of subsequent generations of psychology students.
