As we mark the 41st anniversary of Strawberry Switchblade's Let Her Go, let's jump back even further in time to the earliest studio recording of it, from their very first BBC session.

Though the band were unsigned, Radio 1 DJs John Peel and David Jensen found them at the same time via different routes. They ended up recording a session for each show on consecutive days!

On this day in 1985, Strawberry Switchblade recorded their 5th and final BBC radio session. Although Since Yesterday was still in the top ten and the album was imminent, the band decided to record 4 brand new songs.

Here's Nothing Changes, written by Jill Bryson and featuring her on lead vocals. 🧵

41 years ago today Strawberry Switchblade recorded their second BBC radio session for Janice Long.

Although they'd just completed their album they didn't do any songs from it. Instead, they recorded 3 new atmospheric keyboard-based songs & a cover of Jolene.

It's a peek into what the 2nd album would have sounded like had it happened. Here's a YouTube playlist of all 4 tracks.

Strawberry Switchblade released their cover of Jolene 40 years ago this week, but they'd done a version a year earlier for a BBC Radio 1 Janice Long session. Recorded on 27 Sep 1984, it a more swishy disco rhythm rather than the single's hopalong beat. 🧵

J'avais craqué pour la saison 1, j'ai craqué pour la saison 2 bien sûr.

🇬🇧 David Bowie “Five Years" - 1972

Day #19 - a song that makes you think about life.

I interpret this song in a Buddhist context — touching on the idea of impermanence...
