It’s
Just a Rumour
(480K)
I'd heard the boys on the radio asking if anyone knew of any
songs that dealt with rumours, and thought I'd write one. I
got a couple of friends to help me out, we went into St
Andrews Studios with Mark McCormack and put this down in
about 2 takes. The rest is history! Personnel - Dunk, Leigh
Lansdown, Bruce Reid.

the boys the first time the song was played, January 1995

Elvis
Rumour
(214K)
This is the original version with the the line "You could
win some Krosno's / Whatever else, God knows" which I
changed to the phone number "9696 / twelve seventy eight"
when Krosno glassware stopped sponsoring the spot.

Trevor Cronin from Sound Around Studios offered me free
time to put this down. The timing is a bit rough as we were
having trouble sync'ing up the multi-track. An original tune
done in a sort of Kenny Rogers style. Dunk only at Sound
Around Studios

The first track I put down in my home studio, Whizzo
Tunes (named after Monty Python's Whizzo Chocolate
assortment).

Bo
Diddley Rumour
(368K)
Having been a Bo Diddley fan as long as I can remember, I
always wanted to write a song with that 'chunk, a chunk
chunk, chunk chunk' beat. So I did!

Cadging some more studio time out of Mark McCormack, we went
back to St Andrews studios to put this down. Something
designed to bring back memories of sun, surf, hooters and a
big throbber under the hood! Special thanks to 'Brian' Reid
for penning the words

Don't you hate people who drag their kids into things?
Genuine shower sounds plus Fifi Triebelle Britnet Lourdes on
door banging and background voice. Very little coercion was
required to get her to take part, honest.

Well-known 60's band, the Tyrds. Dunk only at Whizzo

Bob
Zimmerman's Rumour
(272K)
Possibly the worst Dylan imitation of all time. You need
a capo to get that authentic Dylan guitar sound and I didn't
have one, so I gaffer taped a wooden spoon across the
strings instead.

It's not a rumour but a gut reaction to all the
pre-Olympics hype.
