Listen "Back To Square One"

Episode Synopsis

A quick and dirty demo from the early days of Square One, Tvedestrand. Recorded by Tom Samuelsen at his studio at Tromøya, Arendal during a hectic winter weekend back in 1996. Lyrics where written in haste to meet a deadline. Lyrics for "Bagged, tagged & flagged" and "Back to Square One" where written by Asle during a 40 min pit-stop at Gvarv, Telemark, while "Bartenders Blues" were written by Asle and Jarl at "Herr Wilson", Arendal whilst talking to the bartender working at the bar. This was before the time of mobile internett and the amount of mumbo jumbo came thick and fast.

Have mercy!
