The ''Rootin Tootin Luton Tapes'' is a collection of demos made by New Zealand band Split Enz in 1978. During their 2006 tour of Australia it was announced that these recordings would finally be released as an official album after lengthy pressure from the fan club Frenz of the Enz. In 1978 Split Enz fired their record company, their manager, and co-founder Phil Judd had left for the final time. The band was in a slump, and the opportunity arose for them to record in a small studio in Luton. It was a cramped space with percussionist Noel Crombie having to set up his kit in the studio's toilet and Eddie Rayner in a position where he was almost constantly hitting Tim Finn in the head with his elbow. In spite of this, the band claims that this was a very passionate recording session, and was the beginning of a new era. Some songs were re-recorded for the album ''Frenzy'', but the band considered the original recordings to be far superior. This was partly due to the engineering and mixing incompetence on that album by producer Mallory Earl resulting in tracks described by Noel Crombie as "woolly and average", and also from subdued performances by the band. In 2007, Split Enz keyboardist Eddie Rayner remixed the available tapes; a limited edition 2 CD set was made available by the Frenz Of The Enz fan club to its members, while the commercial release is a single CD. ==2 CD version== CD 1 # "Miss Haps" (Tim Finn/Eddie Rayner) - 4:08 # "Home Comforts" (Tim Finn) - 4:13 # "Animal Lover" (Eddie Rayner) - 3:16 # "Carried Away" (Neil Finn) - 4:37 # "Semi-Detached" # (Tim Finn) - 5:03 # "Holy Smoke" (Neil Finn) - 3:21 # "Message Boy" (Tim Finn) - 3:47 # "Hypnotised" (Tim Finn) - 3:41 # "Late In Rome" (aka "Serge") (Neil Finn) - 3:25 # "Straight Talk" (Tim Finn/Rob Gillies) - 3:23 # "Hollow Victory" (Tim Finn) - 3:23 # "Evelyn" (Neil Finn) - 3:16 # "Best Friend" (Tim Finn/Neil Finn) - 3:04 # "Creature Comforts" (Tim Finn/Nigel Griggs) - 2:52 # "Remember When" (Tim Finn) - 3:56 CD 2 # "Hermit McDermitt" (Tim Finn) - 5:02 # "Betty" (Tim Finn) - 6:13 # "I See Red" (Tim Finn) - 3:15 # "Mind Over Matter" (Tim Finn/Neil Finn) - 3:09 # "Next Exit" (Tim Finn) - 3:54 # "She Got Body She Got Soul" (Tim Finn) - 2:57 # "So This Is Love" * # (Phil Judd) - 4:14 # "Abu Dhabi" # (Tim Finn/Eddie Rayner) - 4:53 # "Famous People" # (Tim Finn) - 4:02 # "I'm So Up" * # (Phil Judd) - 2:58 # "Marooned" # (Tim Finn/Eddie Rayner) - 2:27 # "Livin' It Up" # (Nigel Griggs) - 1:17 # "Frenzy" # (Tim Finn/Eddie Rayner) - 3:07 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rootin Tootin Luton Tapes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
