I have four albums look harder. mb

@@mikebruzzone9570 look where?

@@mikebruzzone9570 just to clarify - I've bought everything that's available.

@@thegoodsgone1965 eBay. I collect CDs myself which are getting harder to locate but there's Vinyl still available; compilations and known commercial and suspect limited recordings. mb

@@mikebruzzone9570 cool. What sort of stuff have you found? I've got all of the official stuff - the Callin' All boxset, the blue/cream Viper releases, BBC sessions, obviously the album, singles etc. I've heard everything in RU-vid/SoundCloud etc.

Love your comment :) Stuff like this is raw and unchiseled but if Lee had stuck with it and taken his time smoothing out those flaws, and shaken some of the pride attached, he could’ve made the second album for sure. I think it really was unfortunate for him because, he’s simultaneously painted as the big villain as well as the hero, but the way he approached music writing wasn’t too dissimilar to the gritty work Frank Zappa had people doing on his spirit quests. It’s a shame artists are hard for the majority of people to read, Lee never got to live his full dreams because nobody believed he was going to ever give it a rest on making them come true. The masters of history didn’t complete their magnum opuses in a matter of months or even years for some; sometimes real art takes absolute blood sweat and tears, and the La’s definitely took that, but Lee had to stop believing in it because nobody else could see it the way he was.

Yeah, I mean he WAS a Scouts Mozart. Then he got on that Horse.

that's why they're here for free

@@ToneLaThank you, Tone 😊🙃

Do you know the chords of the second guitar for Fishing net?

Seems something like: 000787 000080 or 000780 000788

@@billyjoe8759 787 and thereabouts, that and 789. The D shape on the 7th fret basically

Deffogs.

Only live gigs after the Crescent tape :(

What answer do you want? I'd go with no.... since we don't have em in a way the creator is not appalled by... but the Crescent tape shows progression. Who knows what is there now we have not heard? Lee has never stopped recording, to my knowledge (be it mixing desks or Macbooks!) But even there ten years on Lee plays Fishing Net n goes "just needs more lyrics n chords". So simple, so difficult... She Came Down has the same lyrics even if it's a bit tighter (might whack it up for yous to judge, I am sadly running out of material) Art is never complete. Live in the moment. Enjoy this, a snapshot of the band at their happiest, new songs gushing in full flow. Lee TEACHING his band, omg, "to get right back down to that is right, la...." This, my friends, is the second record, or near enough. I offer you Zen; I offer you these moments; I offer you this magic. record noun /ˈrɛkɔːd/ 1. a thing constituting a piece of evidence about the past, especially an account kept in writing or some other permanent form.

Well in John for callin' in that ZZ Top one

The only thing I know is Lee played Fishing Net to Steve Lillywhite (or probably more accurately: Lee played it when he was doing the album that got released and Lillywhite witnessed it) who wanted to record it, and Lee said "no it's for the second album" I have zero proof but think the Crescent tape is almost the 2nd album running order, except I can't see it starting with Tears in the Rain. Who knows la Though Lee on his own I think never stopped recording. Mr Macefield heard a Lee's Studio version of She Came Down.

@@tonyg8096 A studio version of 'She Came Down'!? Jesus I'd like to hear that! A shame we most likely never will. You may be right in saying that the second album would've been basically the crescent tape order, I'd never thought of that. But, again. I suppose we'll never know. I know that Lee had a different order for the 'Callin' All' LP. Do we have any idea what that was? I've often wondered about it. I assumed it was just roughly the order the songs were usually performed live. (In that case 'Son Of A Gun' into 'Freedom Song' into 'Clean Prophet' could've been the first three songs. A great opening in my opinion!) Finally, it's almost a right of passage for every La's fan to create their own tracklisting for the second album. So here's mine. (Subject to change). Tracklist: Side A 1. Ladies And Gentlemen 2. It's Not Impossible 3. She Came Down 4. Make A Chain 5. Raindance 6. Fishing Net Side B 7. Alright 8. Tears In The Rain 9. Rebound 10. Our Time 11. When Will I See You Again? 12. I Am The Key All songs written by L.A Mavers Except track 4 by Peter 'Cammy' Cammell And track 7 by John Power

@@aidanhickey9845 Callin All was supposed to be: Son of a Gun Freedom Song Clean Prophet Come In Come Out Way Out Doledrum There She Goes Feelin Timeless Melody IOU Over I Can't Sleep Knock Me Down Liberty Ship Callin All Failure Looking Glass Who Knows?

@@tonyg8096 Ah, so we do know the order of the 'Callin' All' LP! Awesome! If I may ask where did you find out this tracklisting? I've given the ordering a quick run through in my head, and I can totally hear it working. Some things I find interesting: It goes 'Doledrum' into 'There She Goes' instead of the otherway around. The record label kept 'Failure' and 'Looking Glass' together. Assuming the record is 9 songs per side, 'Timeless Melody' closes side A and 'I.O.U' opens side B. Finally, WHO KNOWS CLOSING THE RECORD!? I'm not so sure about that! I feel that the outro of 'Looking Glass' is the perfect way to end it off. With all the callbacks to the previous songs on the album. I remember hearing that for the first time and being blown away by it! I had never heard a song do that before! Even if that ending was a completely Lillywhite studio creation with no input from the band, I still think it's brilliant! But, then again. It's almost like you would expect 'Looking Glass' to be the last song because it sounds like a 'closing' track, and not ending with it would be breaking the rules a bit. Which is actually brilliant when you think about it! I'm starting to talk myself into 'Who Knows?' Closing the record now! Yeah, now that I think about it. I can totally hear 'Looking Glass' fading out and 'Who Knows?' playing over top of it, and I definitely could imagine it resonating on an emotional front, Going from the big epic cinematic 'closing' track filled with questions and existential longing, to the simple outro, the lonesome coda. The Answer. "Who Knows what tomorrow knows? Who Knows what the future holds? Who Knows? Who Knows?" Take care of yourself Tone, I'm sure you've heard this before. But, you're the closest thing to Mavers that we've got. All the best La.
