WANTED: Thousand Yard Stare - Weatherwatching EP



THOUSAND YARD STARE
Weatherwatching EP
1990 Stifled Aardvark Records

All these years i've never seen copy of ''Weatherwatching EP'', debut single from Thousand Yard Stare. Three tracks from this EP are released later on ''Fair To Middling'' compilation album from their earlier singles.
Reason i want to find this EP is second track ''Stopgap To The World'', if anyone have mp3 copy of this obscure 12'' single, please leave comment or send me email.

01. Wonderment
02. Stopgap To The World
03. Three Doors Down
04. Stonesthrow

Also i'm looking for their two singles released on cassette only :
01. Easter EP (1989 Stifled Aardvark)
02. Tumbledown EP (1990 Stifled Aardvark)

Hi Ricky,

I have this, and will try to get it over to you asap.

Sorry, I know I owe you a few records, including Spaghetti Head and Satyrs, but I'm still having turntable troubles. Luckily, I had already converted this one before my turntable went down, so it should just be a case of attaching and emailing it across.

Cheers.

Hey Will,

No worries mate, send me TYS tracks when you have more free time.

I've heard only one track from The Satyrs, sounds great. I think that you have also Panic Beach single, another one from my wantlist.

Yeah, I think I said before that I did have the Panic Beach one, I certainly recognised it - but I went through my records and it's not there.

It either went when I had a bunch of records stolen, or when I once foolishly sold a stack of records to make space.

Either way, it's definitely gone sadly, but I'm sure a copy will turn up one day - everything does eventually, like I've seen you've found the Spaghetti Head one now.

Yeah, the Satyrs were pretty good. I first heard them when they played the club I used to DJ at, and I got friendly with their manager/record label owner, which if memory serves me right, was called Satyrday Records - see what they did there?!

This would be have been around late '91 or early '92, I think. Manager's name might have been Miles, but I might be wrong.

Pretty sure I've got some press releases and other bumpf for them, I'll have a look around.

Cheers.

No problem, no trouble about Panic Beach record, it's not one of the priority bands on my wantlist, never heard anything from them, i'm not sure i will like'em or not. Of course, i will keep trying their record, i'm sure someday someone will send me copy.

The Satyrs released single in 1991 on Satyrday Records. Probably it's their own label, because i checked on discogs and there is no other releases on this label.
It will be great if you could find some press releases, we could find more info about this band.

Cheers,
Ricky
