Presence - Closer (Unreleased Second Album)

PRESENCE
Closer
2014 Not On Label

Notes :
Presence were a UK indie rock band started by Gary Biddles, Lol Tolhurst and Michael Dempsey. Dempsey and Tolhurst were founding members of The Cure, and Biddles was a former Cure roadie who previously played in Fools Dance with Simon Gallup.
In their brief existence, the band only recorded two albums. Their debut album ''Inside'' was released in 1993 through Smash Records, a subsidiary of Island Records. They initially began recording their second album ''Closer'' that same year with former The Smiths producer John Porter at the helm but it wound up being shelved for a little over two decades. The album was posthumously self released by Presence on 28 April 2014, a year after the death of Gary Biddles.
''Closer'' features a harder rock sound than the band’s first album ''Inside''.

The Cygnet Ring - Higher (Cassette Promo)

THE CYGNET RING
Higher (Cassette Promo)
1990 Not On Label

Notes :
Obscure and hard to find, self-released cassette promo by The Cygnet Ring.
The Cygnet Ring were a early 90's madchester band band best known for their song "Love Crime". The band was founded by singer Rus Harrison who had previously been in a local indie band called Playing At Trains and had gained a cult following around the late 1980s.
The Cygnet Ring released a number of 7" and 12" singles during their existence and recorded one full-length album called Hopeful Monsters that was never officially released.

After checking their Playing At Trains page on Discogs i found that they also released this ''Higher" demo tape in 1989 as Playing At Trains, with same tracklisting for Adventure Cassettes label.
You can find info here.
As Playing At Trains they released two singles and recorded one album "Go!" only as cassette promo, also for Adventure Cassettes label. It was probably their own label, i think that this album was never officially released.
