When Cooking Vinyl asked us to supply material for a Bonus CD to go with the various Fatal Mistakes packages, we seized the chance to resurrect the BSide. We knew we had at least ten tunes written for the album that didnt make it into the final sequence and we also knew that we didnt see them necessarily getting onto the next studio album.At AampM in the 1990s, every single there were at least three from each album was issued in multiple formats 7, 12, CDs 1amp2, cassette, each format requiring at least one exclusive new track. That gave us the opportunity to go into the studio and try different things, without the supervision of a producer or the commercial pressure of making album masters.We learned an awful lot doing those sessions and were very proud of the quality of many of those BSides. As time ticked by we also noticed that a lot of fans were catching on to these tunes. Everyone had a favourite or two. So in the absence of the physical single, Fatal Mistakes Outtakes and BSides allows us that freedom to play around with new songs away from the spotlight of the album proper.Two of these tracks, Lips Of London and Gone In A Second, were recorded and mixed as part of the 2020 album session and the rest were written for the project and recorded remotely during the winter lockdown of 21. They should work as companion pieces to Fatal Mistakes and as long as someone somewhere claims one of these BSides is better than anything on the album well be happy.1. Lips Of London2.
